FACTS MATTER - Hillary Clinton Overheated. Don’t Hyperventilate. - By Michael Tomasky

An exceptionally bad few days for the Democrat would be a normal Tuesday afternoon for her Republican opponent, who’s daily defining down what it means to be a presidential hopeful.

Did Hillary have a bad weekend? Sure she did. She waltzed into two situations tailor-made for cable news theatrics and Twitter hysterics. The “basket of deplorables” was an unforced error (actually, only the “half” part; we’ll get to that) that feeds all the Lady Macbeth story lines. The collapse as she was getting into her van after the 9/11 ceremony is perfect for this age and this campaign: it invites infinite speculation, and best of all, there’s video!

I’m sure the combination has Clinton people reaching for the smelling salts. But I’m here to tell you: Cable news and Twitter don’t define life, or presidential campaigns. Underlying facts matter. Loads of things are two- or three-day kerfuffles. But in the long run, these narratives move the needle only if the underlying facts support them.

Meanwhile, we learned some awfully interesting, and I would say far more damning, underlying facts about Donald Trump this weekend. His charity is a grift. Shall I write that sentence again? His effing charity is a grift! But he has defined presidential deviancy so far down that no one seems to care, because it’s Trump—what do you expect?

Back to Clinton. Unlike Barack Obama in 2008, who said two very wrong words in his similarly infamous moment—“bitter” and “cling”—Clinton said only one wrong one: “half.” No, half of Trump’s supporters aren’t remorseless bigots. I’m not sure how far off she was, in truth, but it probably isn’t half.

1. travels to 3 states, 6 events with walking pneumonia. Clinton is an extremely strong person.

I don't think she ever private Jets home(10k an hour we pay for his jet), every night to a personal 'tower' like the Republican does.
