http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/trackers/2016-07-01/u-s-election-wrap-clinton-trump-face-shaky-start-to-july-iq483gknHillary Clinton and Donald Trump each start the July 4 holiday weekend with campaign headaches amid new controversies, a shifting electoral map and wary voters.
Regarding Clinton:
Clinton ends the week with a firestorm brought on by Bill Clintons impromptu private meeting with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch on an airport tarmac that opened her up to criticism from both Republicans and Democrats
The meeting has overshadowed good reviews from Clintons appearance earlier this week with Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the buzz her campaign wants to surround her July 5 rally in N.C. with President Obama

Regarding Trump:
As for Trump, he seemingly missed a chance to rally conservatives when he stayed publicly silent for three days about the Supreme Court striking down Texas restrictions on abortion clinics, Bloombergs Sahil Kapur writes. Turmoil within the Trump campaign continued with the departures of two aides who handled surrogate operations quit, including one hired less than two weeks ago, New York Times reports.

Just because Trump is flopping there has to be a manufactured scandal for Clinton.

the first of about 3000 such between now and November to be totally forgotten by mid next week.
Why do people have to engage in such skyrocketing hyperbole? It's like a real scandal could get lost.
