Clinton enters fall with advantages, but Trump team hopeful
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two months from Election Day, Hillary Clinton has a clear edge over Donald Trump in nearly every measure traditionally used to gauge success in presidential races.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Sen. Ron Johnson runs down a litany of the United States’ ills: a rising debt and deficit, unsecured borders, threats from the Islamic State. And he knows just what to blame: an overreaching federal government stepping on the throats of American entrepreneurs. “Sometimes I refer to myself as Mr. Sunshine,” the Wisconsin Republican tells the employees of a small energy-management firm here. “And I do it somewhat facetiously because, let’s face it, I am laying out realities tha..>> view originalSeoul says North Korea fires 3 ballistic missiles
