TRUMP ROMPS WITH MILITARY –  AT 10:30 A.M. ET:  There are groups giving Donald Trump major support, including independents, married women, and those who are in, or who have served, in the military.  From NBC News: 

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 19 points — 55 percent to 36 percent — among voters who are currently serving or have previously served in the U.S. military, according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll.

The poll was conducted online from August 29 through September 4 among 32,226 registered voters, including 3,358 who have previously served or are currently serving in the U.S. military.

Despite several controversial statements regarding war veteran Sen. John McCain and Trump's criticism of the Khan family, the GOP nominee has worked hard to secure the support of veterans and U.S. military members. On Tuesday morning, a group of 88 retired generals and admirals signed a letter backing Trump to reverse the "hollowing out" of the U.S. military.

COMMENT:  The Trump campaign hopes that its candidate's foolish statements are behind him.  He must convince the voters that he can be commander-in-chief, and that Hillary Clinton cannot be.  Clinton's record is less than stellar, starting with her handling of Benghazi. 

I think some of Hillary's problems with the military stem from her having worked for Obama, who will never be known as "Mr. National Defense."  This country is showing its weakness, and Clinton, having been secretary of state, must take her share of the blame.
