Been raised. All in starts now. Good evening from new york. Im joy reid in for chris hayes. You are looking at live at the donald trump rally just outside of houston where the presumptive gop nominee is expected to take the stage shortly. As that room illustrates trump still has his passionate base of support. But hes an increasingly embattled candidate. One now facing a coordinated lastditch effort to deny him the nomination at the convention. All speak to the republican delegate leading that effort shortly. On the heels of his widely panned response to the orlando massacre, which included his repeated insinuation that president obama may sympathize with terrorists, trump is setting modern records for political toxicity. As politico puts it, his unpopularity without historical peer in the modern era of president ial campaigns. While Hillary Clinton is relatively unpopular for a president ial nominee, shes still polling better than trump, who polls suggest is intensely disliked by a ma

Highestranking woman in the pentagon during the reagan administration. Her resume also described her as the first female professional staffer on the Senate Armed Services committee. It also described her as the person who wrote Ronald Reagans famous star wars speech. Very impressive resume. Unfortunately, when you hand Something Like that out to reporters and youve given it to them because you are running for office, reporters tend to check those things. And it turns out she wasnt actually the highestranking woman during the reagan administration. She also wasnt an the Armed Services committee and didnt actually write president reagans famous star wars speech. At least she didnt write the part of it that was about star wars.

And then former new york governor George Pataki said no and then Richard Nixons soninlaw, he said no. And then this happened, which made National Comedy news on the daily show at the time. A blistering tirade was launched against Hillary Clinton, the woman shell be facing. H
2000 was somebody you will recognize, Hillary Clinton. 2000. That was the first year Hillary Clinton ran for the United States senate from new york state. She beat rick lazio badly. She clobbered him by 12 points. Over the course of that campaign, he spent himself into oblivion. He outspent her by a mile. He outspent her by Something Like she spent 29 million and he spent 40 million. He ended up millions of dollars in debt and he lost and he lost by a lot and he had to give up his day job for all that.
