Bill Clinton: Hillary ‘Worked Like a Demon’ and Gets ‘Severely Dehydrated’:
Former President Bill Clinton explained that Hillary Clinton has fainted before, as a result of dehydration, not any serious medical issue. Clinton said that “on more than one occasion” over the years of her career ”the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.”
“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors,” Clinton said. “Rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years the same sort of thing has happened to her when she just got severely dehydrated.”
Clinton suggested that her fatigue was the result of her busy career and time spent on the trail, but suggested that his wife was merely “dizzy.”
“She’s worked like a demon as you know as Secretary of State and as a Senator and in the years since,” he said. “She had two and a half hard days before the day she got dizzy.”

Chelsea's Apt. Has Same Address as a Medical Facility!--Hillary's Secret Hospital?
A Presidential candidate collapses at a ceremony in NYC...and is shoved, unconscious, by SS into a van like a side of beef and rushed off...not to one of the many world-class hospitals and clinics nearby...but to her daughter's $11M apartment.
Sound odd? It did to me.
So I looked up a bit about Chelsea's new apt.: THE WHITMAN, 21 EAST 26TH STREET, 4 - FLATIRON DISTRICT, NEW YORK [link to www.elliman.com]
I discovered that it exactly shares an address with:
METROCARE HOME SERVICES, INC. 21 East 26th Street, 4th Fl New York, NY 10010 [link to profiles.health.ny.gov (secure)]
SAME address..SAME Floor...only One Apt. per floor.
For a woman very secretive about her ambiguous medical conditions...whom avoids hospitals like the plague, it occurred to me that when the Clinton's bought this incredibly expensive apt. for their daughter in 2013...they may have also purchased it with the intent of using it as a secret private medical treatment facility for Hillary to use during her anticipated campaign.
To the press...it would only appear Hillary was just dropping in for a visit with her daughter...when, in reality, she is receiving medical treatment and controlled substances from private physicians and private pharmacists...on private property (no need for disclosure).
If so, Chelsea's apt. served it's secret purpose flawlessly this Sunday.
It makes sense that to establish a clandestine medical treatment facility in a residential apartment--one which is legally compliant with the controlled substances dispensing/stocking/delivery & shipping requirements...and one which is able to legally supply and treat a private patient with the drugs needed, one would also have to register the address as a medical treatment facility.
In this case, I would assume the Clinton Foundation would be the controlling entity.
A staff (and private) doctor or pharmacist would then be employed (Hillary has two) to legally treat the patient, practice medicine within the confines of the private residence...and dispense drugs to that private patient without any disclosure.
This sham medical facility, while legally registered as a public care facility...would also have to be closed to the public in order to operate without any disclosure.

"Their honorable service to our country is an inspiration to every one of us and is a reminder that America has been the world's most indispensable nation because of the great character of our people.

Ivanka, Donald Trump To Roll Out New Childcare, Maternity Leave Policy For Moms In Pennsylvania
Republican nominee Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump plan to roll out a detailed childcare policy plan outside Philadelphia on Tuesday.
“This does underscore a major contrast between our campaign and Hillary Clinton’s—you heard Mr. Trump talk about it last night at his rally in North Carolina: Mrs. Clinton doesn’t have a single original idea or a fresh concept about anything,” a senior Trump aide tells reporters. “Nobody knows why she’s running except that she feels like she’s entitled to be president and beyond that I guess she owes a lot of people a lot of favors. But in terms of helping the American people, you couldn’t name one reason.”
Trump, on the other hand, has laid out a series of detailed policy platforms he says are designed to help all Americans. In recent weeks, the GOP nominee for president has presented ideas on foreign policy, trade policy, immigration policy, education policy, tax policy and military policy. In suburban Philadelphia, Trump will roll out a policy plan designed to help middle and working class mothers better afford childcare.
Childcare policy is an area politicians in Washington often ignore, especially when it comes to children from birth to 4 years old—a very expensive timeframe for new parents.
“Zero through 4 aged children there has been a real dearth of policy work in Washington, D.C., and in general—that’s one of the first things we found when started on the policy work,” a Trump aide said. “There’s been some work at the pre-K level and obviously K-12, but very little for zero through 4.”
Trump’s plan focuses on using the tax code to help new parents to allow them to deduct both childcare expenses and elderly dependent expenses for up to four total dependents from their income taxes. Trump aides say the tax deduction is available for taxpayers who take the standard deduction and is capped at the average cost of care for the state of residence, but those in the upper echelon, making more than $250,000—or $500,000 if filing jointly—per year will not be eligible for it. It will also offer as much as $1,200 per year per eligible family in child care spending rebates through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Stay-at-home parents and working parents will both be eligible for the same tax deductions.
In addition, as the policy team for Trump laid out for reporters on Tuesday morning, Trump’s plan would create Dependent Care Savings Accounts (DCSAs)—as opposed to Dependent Care Flexible Savings Accounts (FSAs) in current law—that would be available to everyone. FSAs in current law are only available to people if offered by an employer, and they do not allow balances to accumulate or roll over. Trump’s DCSAs would offer both tax-deductible contributions and tax-free year-to-year appreciation, while also being available to everyone. The accounts allow for people to set aside extra money to pay for both childcare and for care of elderly dependents.
When helping children, the Trump team notes, it can be applied to traditional childcare, after-school programs and help with school tuition—in addition to Trump’s school choice program. For lower-income parents, Trump’s team notes, the government will match half of the first $1,000 deposited in the account per year. When used for helping elderly dependents, Trump’s team notes that the DSCA accounts can be used for covering a variety of services including in-home nursing and long-term care.
The Trump plan would also offer six weeks of government-guaranteed paid maternity leave to all working women when their companies don’t offer paid maternity leave. The money would come through amending the existing unemployment insurance (UI) that companies are required to carry, and would be paid for by offsetting reductions in the program so taxes don’t get raised.
Ivanka Trump, Donald’s daughter, was intricately involved in crafting the policy and will be appearing with Donald Trump in Aston, Pennsylvania. Ivanka Trump mentioned that she was working on this policy in her speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.
BREAKING: Obama to Increase Refugee Flow to U.S. by 30 Percent
Administration says it 'aims to admit a significantly higher number' of Syrians in 2017
The Obama administration is set to dramatically expand the number of refugees coming to the U.S. in the next fiscal year, including the number of potentially dangerous Muslim migrants.
In a private briefing with senators on Tuesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry announced a plan to increase the annual total flow of refugees to the United States from 85,000 in fiscal year 2016 to 110,000 in 2017.
“Today’s announcement is nothing short of reckless and indefensible.” “Despite opposition by the American people, a documented link between terrorism and individuals admitted to the United States as refugees, and over $19 trillion in debt, the Obama Administration has committed the United States to admitting 110,000 refugees during Fiscal Year 2017 — a roughly 57 percent increase in the number of refugees the United States admitted as recently as FY 2015, and a roughly 29 percent increase from the Administration’s target for FY 2016,” Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who chairs the Immigration and the National Interest subcommittee, said in a statement.
The last time the U.S. took in over 100,000 refugees in a single year was 1995.

This is what you have got? Finally, Trump provided something that might have a chance to win some female votes over, you want to bury it right away just like that? Again, the Trump supporters I see here are so rigid in thinking and leave little to no room for discussion.
A policy like this is definitely going to require support from both parties in Congress, as GOP traditionally won't like the idea of government interfering with child care much.
To me, this policy would be a great step towards quality child care in the US, which is desperately needed by tech workers. In general, this is in line with building a prosperous society, as demanded by Constitution. Please don't confuse it with something that's purely self-interest driven.

President Barack Obama plans to admit 110,000 refugees from around the world to the United States over the next year — a figure that is 10,000 above his original goal and which immediately set off howls of protest from some Republicans.
The 110,000 figure is expected to include a substantial number of Syrian refugees, whose admission to the U.S. has sparked debate in the presidential race. Republican nominee Donald Trump wants to bar Syrian refugees completely, alleging that terrorists could be hiding among them.
At the same time, the 110,000 figure, which covers the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, is likely to disappoint many supporters of the refugee program, who have been urging the administration to take in as many as 200,000 displaced people from around the world.
A senior Obama administration official confirmed late Tuesday that Secretary of State John Kerry had briefed Congress earlier in the day about the administration's new plan. He noted that Kerry had said several months ago that the U.S. wanted to admit at least 100,000 refugees worldwide but that it would take more if it could.

ZT: 特朗普风暴（十二) 彭斯之完美家庭
王尚一
彭斯的家庭可以说是美国完美家庭的样板。
彭斯的外祖父年轻时从爱尔兰的一个小乡村来到美国，在芝加哥开了40年公交车并以此为荣，正像母亲告诉他的一样，美国不仅有生活，还有梦想，而他实现了自己的美国梦。彭斯继承了外祖父的名字和美国精神。
彭斯的父亲参加过朝鲜战争，被授予铜星勋章，但他从来不讲自己在战场上的英雄事迹，战后经营一个连锁加油站。父亲勇敢、爱家和富冒险精神等基因，无保留的遗传给了彭斯，父亲是他心底永远的感动。
彭斯的父亲1980年代去世，彭斯的母亲独自养育6个孩子，努力支撑整个家庭。她还回到大学，拿到毕业证。所有关于母亲的美好词汇，用于这位英雄般的母亲，都不为过。2015年1月，共和党内积极准备总统竞选，很多人支持彭斯参选，面对电视采访，彭斯说，妈妈认为还不到时候。
彭斯的妻子Karen，是彭斯的灵魂伴侣，也是事业伙伴。他们在教会的一次弥撒时认识，彼此一见钟情，1985年结婚。此后至今的三十多年里，他们携手同甘共苦，爱如初见。
Karen陪伴和鼓励彭斯走过漫长的创业期。Karen是教育学硕士，毕业后一直从事教师工作。期间，彭斯在1988年和1990年两次竞选国会议员，未果。1990年起彭斯开始长达10年的从政准备，先后开办智库和电台，逐步扩大影响力。2000年彭斯再度竞选国会议员，这次既有捐款赞助，又有民众基础，如愿以偿顺利获选。
Karen全身心支持彭斯的事业。彭斯离开国会回印第安纳做州长后，在三个项目上取得瞩目成就，推动降税和就业、推动教育改革以及推动全民医保。除降税和就业属于宏观决策外，Karen在教育和医疗项目上深度参与，并起到重要作用。Karen不仅支持彭斯的教育法案，还做为教育界资深人士身体力行，领导实施多个教育项目。Karen还和彭斯一道推动更全面的保障计划，彭斯巧妙周旋，使印第安纳州少花钱多办事，保障计划一一落实，尤其是老兵医疗。
Karen还参与丈夫的一些重大决策。特朗普打电话给彭斯，问他是否愿意做自己的竞选伙伴时，彭斯说要和妻子商量，Karen接过电话，特朗普重述一遍自己的想法，最后彭斯和Karen决定接受特朗普的邀请。民主党代会结束后，战斗正式打响，特朗普和彭斯兵分两路集会演讲，而彭斯几乎每场演讲都带Karen出席，并且先给大家介绍Karen。
Karen对彭斯没有物质要求。彭斯做国会议员期间，在高调的和隐形的各色富豪云集的华盛顿政商圈，浸侵在腐败堕落的华盛顿文化里，彭斯就是一股清流。他才华卓越能力出众，坚守基督教保守派的信仰，也就是坚持美国建国和发展时所依靠的基督教价值观，因此一次次被边缘化为少数派，他依然固守清贫拒绝同流合污。直到特朗普邀请他做竞选伙伴，身为印第安纳州州长，他的家庭资产仅40万美元，跟中国的很多村长都无法相提并论，更别说中国的省长了。但Karen从无怨言，精打细算过日子，尽心尽力养育子女。
彭斯和Karen育有一子二女。儿子进入普渡大学后，模仿做国会议员的彭斯竞选学生会主席。Karen的父亲是名飞行员，儿子从小对航空感兴趣，大学期间就打算毕业后到美国海军陆战队做飞行员。2015年儿子大学毕业，目前是美国海军陆战队的一名军官。两个女儿和彭斯夫妇关系也很亲密。
彭斯是具有天主教传统的爱尔兰后裔，把家庭传统和家庭关系看做人生很重要的一部分。家庭塑造了彭斯，也深刻影响了彭斯的政治生涯。现在彭斯做为特朗普的竞选伙伴，与特朗普纽约大富豪的身份迥异，他是美国普通中产阶级的一员，他的完美家庭是搭建特朗普与保守派/中间派家庭的重要心理桥梁，帮助特朗普竞选更亲民更全面。
备注：这部分内容搜集众多相关资料，反复过滤压缩到最后，就剩这么个篇幅。我想，政经领域是公开的，可以也必须面对各方评论和分析，但婚姻和家庭生活应给予最大限度的尊重和保护。上帝也会祝福这个幸福的家庭。
2016年8月30日
王尚一
在二十多年的政治生涯里，彭斯的政治表现堪称完美。
在竞选社会中，政治家/政客要内外双修，长中短期结合发展。有内在思想不擅外在表现，无法吸引民众，一般做学者或智囊；没内涵但会表现，能吸引关注表面的民众，有更多机会走上前台。凭内在能力和稳定风格长期吸引固定民众的是实力派政治家，短期能吸引民众而长期受到民众反对和唾弃的算是演员派政客。以此鉴定，彭斯是实力派政治家，奥巴马是演员型政客。
奥巴马短期曾受到万众瞩目的追捧。2008年，奥巴马做为的政治明星崛起。党内选举时，奥巴马重创希拉里，获得民主党总统提名。奥巴马进入大选后，以黑色皮肤、充满活力的表现和“希望与改变”的口号，吸引包括共和党在内的大量选民。
奥巴马长期内缺乏内在底蕴把美国带上歧途。竞选过程中，民主党操控主流媒体和各类学校，大肆宣传社会进步理论，舆论被顺利引导，认为美国在解放黑奴150年后，进步到应该出现黑人总统的高尚阶段。实际上，奥巴马的父系黑人祖先是奴隶主和奴隶贩子，奥巴马不是美国黑奴翻身把歌儿唱，而是做完非洲的奴隶主后，再飘洋过海到美国做奴隶主。在美国，奥巴马做完社区组织者后，直接摇身变成议员，过着没有一天工作经验养尊处优的日子。奥巴马在竞选中提出“希望和改变”，但没有任何具体措施，民众不知道改变什么、怎么改变、往哪里变。奥巴马从父系家庭继承了穆斯林传统，又从母系家庭和教育中获得共产主义理念，在奥巴马按照自己的“希望”实施“改变”后，将穆斯林模式和共产主义思想贯彻到美国社会的方方面面。8年过去，越来越多美国民众发现，跟着奥巴马的“希望”走，结果是陷入绝境。今天的美国，在奥巴马的“改变”下，社会矛盾尖锐到不可调和的地步，濒临新一场内战边缘。
彭斯则长期做准备。1986年，27岁的彭斯在印第安纳大学法学院获法学博士学位，毕业后从事法律工作，奠定进入政界的初步基础。1988年和1990年两次竞选国会议员失败，彭斯脚踏实地开始长期备战。首先开办保守派智库，工作获得很大成功，奠定彭斯坚实的政治理论基础。接着又开办电台，强化锻炼口才，同时建立地区影响力。内外兼修10年后，2000年彭斯再次竞选国会议员，顺利当选。彭斯最初活跃在国会，积累人气与声望，2008年彭斯在反大政府行动中崭露头角，2009年茶党兴起，彭斯做为茶党的重要领袖进入社会视野。在华盛顿的12年里，彭斯连任6届国会议员，成众议院中共和党的第三把手。
彭斯帮助共和党夺回国会阵地。次贷危机爆发后，奥巴马通过大规模经济刺激，扩大民主党政府对社会的统治。彭斯迅速行动，组织和发动政治上的冲锋，反对奥巴马的政策。彭斯的政治理论和表现起到重大领导作用，推动茶党再度兴起。奥巴马不顾共和党全力反对，一意孤行推动奥巴马医疗方案，彭斯再次组织和领导冲锋，共和党空前团结，同时获得大量社会民众支持。由于民主党在国会两院中占绝对优势，奥巴马强行通过医疗方案，而共和党由始至终都坚持反对，没有一个人投赞成票或者弃权票。接下来奥巴马医疗引发美国民众极度反感，共和党在中期选举中夺回众议院，重新站稳脚跟，此战彭斯功不可没。
彭斯在共和党内部竞争中却失利，国会对总统的制衡有名无实。竞争共和党第一把手时，彭斯输给约翰·博纳（John Andrew Boehner），由博纳出任美国众议院议长，这是仅次于美国总统和副总统的美国第三号人物，对总统有一定制衡。博纳的当选说明共和党建制派已经与社会脱节，与两党竞争脱节。如果彭斯担任议长，随着奥巴马医疗造成巨额赤字、大量企业裁员或倒闭、民众医保保险缴费年年暴涨，彭斯可以再次对奥巴马发起强势冲锋，以年轻对年轻、活力对活力、脱稿演讲对电子提示器、进攻对进攻，让国会充分发挥对总统的制衡作用，阻止奥巴马昏招频出，矫正美国往邪路上走的脚步，也顺便扩大共和党的战果。现实是，老迈的博纳不思进取，只想四平八稳维持现状，民众越来越不喜欢博纳，进而反感共和党和议会。在奥巴马政府和众议院共和党的斗争中，双方的民众支持率持续下降，而众议院的支持率下降更快。
共和党逐渐衰落，终至溃不成军。2012年的总统大选完全是搏傻式表演，第一场总统辩论中，米特·罗姆尼（Mitt Romney）政策思路阐述清晰，奥巴马则稀里糊涂，罗姆尼占上风。而在副总统辩论中，拜登完全不管具体政策，针对保罗·瑞安（Paul Ryan）的国家政策思路予以各种攻击，竟然获得高度认可。接下来的总统辩论中，奥巴马立刻如法炮制，不顾及政策面，纯粹攻击，罗姆尼在占优形势下竟出现致命的怯场失语，民意遂急转，奥巴马二度当选。再次上台后，奥巴马更加肆无忌惮，绕过国会颁布各种总统法令，鼓励各种犯罪。2014年，茶党运动中竞选成功的议员特雷·高迪（Trey Gowdy）一度发表“We Make Law”的演讲，要求国会明确自身的做为和权利，不允许奥巴马随意篡改法律和选择性执法，这反映出国会对国家法律和政策已经失控。而老博纳面对奥巴马越来越弱势，党内外民心尽失，2014年底辞任议长。随后瑞安出任议长，对奥巴马更无约束力，国会沦为橡皮图章。
共和党再度衰落的过程，也是彭斯被边缘化的过程，他有劲儿没地使，2012年愤然离开华盛顿回到印第安纳州，以攻守兼备的政治表现迅速成为地方主义的代表。彭斯利用自己在国会时的威望，在地方上组织局部反击。彭斯最具政治实力的表现，是在教育、医疗和信仰自由等社会基础领域。在教育上，彭斯很大程度废除公立学校的垄断，推动公立学校和私立学校竞争，既得到联邦政府的教育拨款，又实施自主的地方化教育机制，大幅提高印第安纳州的基础教育质量。在医疗上，彭斯采取类似的措施，从联邦政府争取更多医疗经费，自行制定州政策，扩大医疗保障覆盖范围，尤其政策性倾斜照顾老兵。在信仰上，联邦政府和联邦法院都支持同性恋，增加对基督教的压制和迫害，彭斯则支持印第安纳州的信仰自由法案，最大程度保护基督教会和基督徒的权利。
彭斯凭借自己在国会期间积累的政治资本，建立起印第安纳州小独立王国。奥巴马政府批给印第安纳洲更多的资金，还允许印第安纳州有自行制定政策权，一定程度上不受奥巴马政府管束。为什么印第安纳州享有如此殊荣？原因很简单，奥巴马花钱买和平。只要彭斯不带头折腾他，保持中立的立场，奥巴马不在乎多出钱。彭斯对此心知肚明，借机为印第安纳州争取最大利益。2015年，彭斯趁选举日益激烈，在本州签署保护信仰自由的法案，该事件在全国引起巨大反响，但奥巴马充耳不闻毫无反应，默许印第安纳州的特立独行。
特朗普选择彭斯做竞选伙伴，是对彭斯政治表现的最大肯定。特朗普宣布副总统竞选人的决定后，彭斯回应说，很荣幸加入特朗普团队并致力于让美国重新伟大。不少人担心，彭斯会不会像希拉里的副手蒂姆·凯恩（Tim Kaine）一样只能做谄媚恭维啦啦队长，不过人们很快放下心，特朗普真是选对人。彭斯的演讲，都以特朗普和特朗普政策为核心，重点突出，层次分明，充满力量，令人振奋。与特朗普的热情洋溢相比，彭斯相对内敛，更适合保守派听众，这对扩大和巩固保守派阵营很重要。很多原本不了解彭斯的人，在看过彭斯的演讲和问答后，现场高呼“彭斯2024”。
彭斯最具政治表现力的地方是现场问答互动。彭斯演讲结束后，安排有与集会民众问答互动环节。很多民众带着疑问而来，问题很实际，甚至很尖锐，彭斯即时作答，不仅单纯回答具体问题，还随时归纳和强调，既明确特朗普政策将针对这类问题有所行动，又强调特朗普或本人有能力和经验，将整体解决相关系列问题。有时候，即使涉及到基础信仰和理念，他也深入浅出的解答，让民众很容易理解和接受。无论什么样的问题，都能回答的滴水不漏，还兼顾加强现场互动气氛，这种成熟政治家的优异表现，是彭斯多年从政经历的精华结晶。
对想深刻理解政治或者想提高个人表现力的人来说，彭斯是现代政治表现中的一个最佳模板。与人们想当然的以为保守派就是偏激极端的代名词完全不同，彭斯的身体语言低调沉稳又充满活力，口头语言积极乐观格局开阔。路易斯安那州水灾后，特朗普和彭斯到现场慰问，奥巴马那时在打高尔夫球。媒体采访时彭斯说，特朗普和他到灾区，主要是希望能给灾区民众以心理支持，也希望奥巴马总统尽快访问灾区，给灾区民众更强有力的支持，籍此引起政府和全国民众对灾区的更多关注和重视。访谈过程中，没有任何指责，一切从灾区救援和重建出发。诸多细节不再一一展开，有兴趣的读者可以自行搜索彭斯的相关演讲视频。总之，彭斯在即时问答中的完美表现，可以做为经典案例写入《政治家是怎么炼成的》之类的教科书。
特朗普选择在美国社会貌似默默无闻的彭斯做为竞选伙伴后，主流媒体一直避谈彭斯，这是故意忽略彭斯举足轻重的政治地位，淡化彭斯无懈可击的政治表现，也顺便掩盖特朗普识人用人的精准眼光和豁达心胸。

ZT: 特朗普风暴（十四) 彭斯之完美伙伴
王尚一
特朗普选择彭斯做副总统后，两个人迅速进入完美匹配的双头领导模式。其中，领导者和副手都必须具有卓越领导力，同时两个人真诚而紧密合作。特朗普作为领导者，特点是身先士卒、率队冲锋、战斗在一线，以实现赢赢赢的目标。彭斯做副手，调动内外两方面的资源，支持特朗普的决策，巩固特朗普的战斗成果。
双头领导模式在美国政治中极为罕见，也在特朗普竞选中发挥巨大威力。在竞争激烈的商业环境中，有一些企业通过这样的领导模式获得巨大的成功。美国的政治体制属于三权分立下的总统负责制，整个系统立法、执法和司法运作，一般情况下并不需要副总统的深度参与。 而在当下美国大崩溃前夕，国会成为橡皮图章，联邦最高法院面临全面危机的情况下，特朗普采取的双头领导模式，成为至关重要的选择。
8月初，特朗普陷入外部和内部的全面危机。特朗普的外部对手并不是希拉里，而是民主党控制的强大政治机器，包括奥巴马领导的政府、金融机构和科技公司、主流媒体的宣传机器。这个强大机器一方面完全保护希拉里，另一方面对特朗普全方位攻击。在Khans事件中，民主党对特朗普狂轰滥炸、穷追猛打，让特朗普失去大量民众的信任。在共和党内部，特朗普面对试图将他赶下台的强大力量。尤其在Khans事件中，各派对特朗普全面不满，很多人公开反对特朗普。
在危机关头，彭斯展现出强大的战斗力。彭斯拥有强大的政治资源和业绩、政治理论能力、实际问题解决能力、政治表现力、政治家的长期口碑，并且拥有与民主党/奥巴马/希拉里的丰富斗争经验。彭斯在与特朗普并肩作战过程中，以特朗普为主，全力支持和配合特朗普，为特朗普解决各种问题，表现出忠诚信实的伙伴精神。
一个月时间内，特朗普/彭斯团队扭转战局。8月初，很多人认为特朗普的竞选将很快崩盘，特朗普也将被打垮。即使特朗普的忠实支持者，也担心特朗普在各种压力下，会出现一步错、步步错的危机。但是形势发展超出人们的预料，特朗普很快重新站立起来，奇迹般地反败为胜。在这个过程中，不仅有特朗普顽强的斗志和不断进攻的精神，也有特朗普团队其他成员的努力和贡献，而彭斯的完美操作起到关键作用。
在反败为胜的过程中，彭斯作为特朗普的支持者，每一步行动都可以说无懈可击。按照时间进程，彭斯的行动包括，稳固特朗普阵营，整合政治资源，化解外部危机，支持特朗普的每个行动，打击奥巴马和希拉里，进而支持特朗普的积极进攻。
7月中旬，彭斯成为副总统候选人后，迅速成为特朗普的支持平台。特朗普作为政治圈外人，在共和党内多达17人的竞选中杀出重围。特朗普在选举中多次出口伤人，得罪了以杰布·布什为代表的温和派/建制派，也得罪了以克鲁兹和卢比奥为代表的保守派。特朗普赢得胜利的手段和方式，在君子竞争的共和党选举中，被相当一部分人反感。在共和党全国大会上，布什家族没有参加，克鲁兹拒绝支持特朗普。人们纷纷传言，党内的建制派和保守派均对特朗普表示不满，将在共和党全国大会上操控议程，取消特朗普的提名。不过，由于彭斯在党内的重要地位，并且以副总统候选人的身份强烈支持特朗普，稳定共和党内的情绪，任何想改变局势的想法都无法实施。
共和党大会结束，问题才真正开始暴露。政治资源整合的难题是特朗普/彭斯团队的基础问题。特朗普拥有跨越党派的广泛号召力，希望特朗普上台解决各种现实的社会问题，但是特朗普缺乏政治基础，甚至在共和党内部竞选过程中，伤害了自己的基础。彭斯拥有共和党内的重要地位和广泛联系，而且彭斯理论与实践兼顾，拥有理念优先的保守派民众的坚实基础。在特朗普和彭斯的政治资源中，既有一部分重合，又有更多分歧。特朗普和彭斯面对的是无孔不入的民主党强大政治机器，需要在面对攻击的情况下，随时整合政治资源。考虑到内外的问题，两人政治资源整合极为艰难。一般来说，在外部的强大压力下，临时拼凑的团队很容易四分五裂，政治上尤其如此。纵观历史，这种政治资源整合基本不可能成功。
不过，特朗普和彭斯根本没有磨合，直接切入完美合作模式。
8月初，特朗普陷入内外交困。由于特朗普缺乏政治经验，在金星烈士（金星一般颁发给英勇而具有突出事迹的烈士，极少给活着的士兵）的父母Khans为了个人利益，在民主党全国大会上发言，针对特朗普予以打击。特朗普为自己辩解，与Khan发生口角，触犯了政治中的大忌。在主流媒体的大肆报道下，引发轩然大波，全国一片反对声中，特朗普陷入严重困境。共和党建制派和保守派，也都等着特朗普出错，因此共和党内部也趁机反对特朗普，想将特朗普赶下台。在Khans事件后的短时间内，特朗普众叛亲离，简直看不到赢的希望。
彭斯针对Khans事件迅速投入修复。面对大量民众对特朗普的不信任，彭斯积极行动。彭斯在每次演讲中，都要请军人、老兵和警察举手，表达对这些人贡献的感谢。彭斯每次都强调，自己是老兵的儿子，还是现役海军陆战队军官的父亲，和大家拥有共同的情感。而且，彭斯的一贯政策，都很照顾退伍老兵，包括支持老兵就业、提升老兵医疗、为退伍老兵子女提供福利等。彭斯的身份和过往业绩，都是安抚老兵情绪的重要砝码。更重要的是，彭斯还反复强调，特朗普本人非常好，非常真诚，非常关心老兵，并不是主流媒体描述的那样。特朗普一直都对现在的老兵政策不满，在特朗普当总统后，将优先支持老兵。
彭斯作为优秀的政治家，完美处理突发难题，防止出现新的危机。在一次彭斯集会演讲的问答环节中，一位金星烈属发言，对特朗普不尊重烈属的态度极为愤慨，强烈谴责特朗普，其他听众对他一片嘘声。这时候，如果彭斯处置不当，又会引发媒体新一轮攻击，特朗普的竞选局势将彻底无法挽回。彭斯及时制止观众的嘘声，并以很温暖的方式与烈属对话，对烈属表达感谢、尊敬和理解。随后彭斯从军人家属的角度，谈到自己对特朗普本人的理解和认识，肯定特朗普并没有否定英雄的任何企图，望烈属消除误解。彭斯自己的特殊身份，军人和警察的热忱态度，以及对特朗普的强烈支持，终于使特朗普与军队和老兵之间的关系得以修复。
Khans事件发生后，共和党内对特朗普的反对表面化，不少人准备实施分裂行动。彭斯应用自己在党内的影响力，不动声色地稳固特朗普在共和党内的基础。彭斯虽然是极端的党内保守派，但是因为个人正直诚实和冷静稳定，与其他大多数人保持着良好关系，包括建制派的众议院议长保罗·瑞恩。瑞恩竞选议员，希望得到特朗普支持。彭斯先以个人名义支持瑞恩，后来推动特朗普以总统竞选人身份支持瑞恩和麦凯恩等人。特朗普通过支持三人，稳固建制派的支持，共同对付民主党和希拉里。彭斯是共和党保守派代表，也是茶党运动的重要领袖，具有很强的党内号召力。无论克鲁兹和卢比奥，还是仍然在国会中战斗的高迪，都是茶党运动中出现的新星，他们都比彭斯资历浅。彭斯利用自己的资深地位，在保守派中不动声色地做了大量工作。
彭斯在接受媒体公开采访时，表达对特朗普的十足信心，并借机孤立分裂派。一些资深共和党成员看到机会，明确反对特朗普转而支持希拉里。主流媒体利用此事件，大肆报道，试图造成特朗普正在被孤立的假象。当主流媒体采访彭斯，指出特朗普正在遭遇越来越多的共和党人抛弃，彭斯则信心十足地说，虽然媒体大肆宣扬多数人反对特朗普，但与真实情况不符，他跟着特朗普到各地集会演讲，往往只提前两三天通知，但每次都能看到上万民众热烈支持特朗普。在党内，不支持特朗普的共和党人非常少，而且都是个人行为。彭斯的媒体采访从外部舆论隔离反叛者，很快关于共和党成员叛离的新闻快速降温，进而基本销声匿迹。
特朗普阵营的本身稳固，反过来削弱主流媒体。特朗普曾经说，自己不是在跟希拉里竞争，而是与主流媒体作战。Khans危机是主流媒体炒作而成的危机，企图打垮特朗普，然而特朗普不仅没被打垮，阵营反而更加稳固，而且彭斯开始公开露面讲话。人们可以认为特朗普说话不着边际，但没人质疑彭斯的政治实力和信誉度。不久之后，Khan（金星烈士的父亲）的真实身份曝光，对主流媒体的可信度造成重大打击。Khan作为穆斯林移民律师，帮助具有恐怖分子嫌疑的穆斯林移民到美国，特朗普提出的政策将摧垮其利益链条令其失去收入，Khans夫妇在民主党大会上发言，是收了希拉里的钱。随着真相曝光，主流媒体片面扭曲报道的问题，被越来越多的人重视。主流媒体的收视率和观众评分快速下滑，抵制主流媒体的力量也越来越强。
彭斯稳固后方的同时，特朗普开始对奥巴马/希拉里的政府发动新攻势。在Khans事件被媒体热炒时，特朗普接受朱利亚尼等人的建议，专注宏观，集中精力面对奥巴马和希拉里。发布经济大纲时，特朗普批评克林顿夫妇和奥巴马的政策给美国经济造成的灾难，将把他们的政策全部推倒重来，以挽救美国经济。发布反恐大纲时，特朗普更加凌厉，痛斥奥巴马和希拉里的政策，指出两个人必须为恐怖猖獗付全责，进而提出新的反恐战略方针。密尔沃基骚乱后，特朗普在密尔沃基发表演讲，痛斥民主党的长期政策，尤其痛斥奥巴马在过去8年对黑人社区造成的危害，以及压制执法机构和鼓励暴力犯罪。特朗普提出，民主党/奥巴马/希拉里不是将黑人当人对待，而只是当选票。特朗普对黑人喊话，将全面解决内城中黑人面临的绝望处境，真正将黑人解救出来。
攻击过程中，特朗普遭受主流媒体的围攻，面临新的形象危机。在特朗普和希拉里的竞争中，为了打击特朗普，奥巴马打破总统中立的基本竞选规则，在公开场合说特朗普“不适合（unfit）当总统”。特朗普立即反击，说奥巴马是无能的总统。在集会演讲中，特朗普说，奥巴马和希拉里是恐怖组织ISIS的共同创办人，也是MVP（最有价值成员）。演讲获得听众的热烈响应，很快传播。不过特朗普随后又说，他是讽刺口吻。主流媒体再次抓住机会，说特朗普语言随意出尔反尔，质疑特朗普的稳定性和可靠性。媒体长期攻击特朗普，对观众灌输特朗普脾气秉性不稳定，如果做美国总统，将给美国带来巨大的危险。特朗普面临新的形象危机。
彭斯迅速跟进，稳固特朗普的形象。从工作关系上，州长彭斯是总统奥巴马的下属，不适合直接帮助特朗普直接攻击奥巴马个人。随后彭斯接受福克斯新闻节目的采访，以最强有力的方式，就此事支持特朗普。主持人问彭斯，对于特朗普的讲话，有什么看法。彭斯坚定地说，特朗普说的很正确，从奥巴马和希拉里的所作所为，和ISIS的崛起过程来看，完全印证特朗普的说法。主持人又问，既然特朗普说的是正确的，为什么特朗普后来收回自己的话，转而说是讽刺。彭斯强调，是否讽刺只是表达方法，主要看特朗普说话的内容，特朗普的说法基于事实，本身内容正确，如何表达并不是主要问题。主持人进一步拷问，以前特朗普也曾经瞎说，后来以讽刺做托辞，这次是同样的方式，与上次有什么不同？彭斯再次确认，这次说话有理有据，有充分的基础证明其说话的正确性。
在彭斯讲话后，主流媒体对特朗普的攻势减弱，奥巴马也不再出声。彭斯依据事实，就事论事。对于政治攻防，彭斯的表达极为有力。如果主流媒体和奥巴马敢于继续针对此事纠缠，特朗普和彭斯可以共同出击，利用此事件形成民众的广泛关注，进而揭露奥巴马和希拉里的各种行为。考虑到后续影响，主流媒体偃旗息鼓。奥巴马遭此打击后，也不再在公众场合表态支持希拉里，减弱了希拉里阵营的攻击能力。
彭斯的策略支持，让特朗普处于更有利的进攻位置。在本轮攻防战中，彭斯作为出色的政治家，与奥巴马和希拉里的斗争经验丰富，起到了关键的定调作用。在共和党国会与奥巴马的相互攻击中，由于国会缺乏合理的策略，双方经常陷入口水战，损害各自在民众心目中的形象。特朗普和奥巴马的相互攻击，同样也削弱特朗普的形象，而即将卸任的奥巴马则无所谓形象。彭斯则将双方的攻击，转换为奥巴马对特朗普的个人攻击，而特朗普则是以事实为根据的合理反击。彭斯受访后，特朗普的攻击更积极更大胆，特朗普不再担心被媒体攻击炒作，言辞坚定，迅速向总统形象靠拢。
特朗普和希拉里的口水战，进一步打击希拉里。在邮件门事件进一步曝光后，特朗普痛斥希拉里拿外国人的钱，给外国人办事的腐败卖国劣迹，并且要在就任总统后专门调查。彭斯随即跟上，在电视采访中发表同样态度坚决的讲话。接着希拉里在集会演讲中，临时取消准备发布的政策要点，改成攻击特朗普和支持者是种族主义和bigotry（无知狂妄独断等贬义）。特朗普则在同一天的演讲中针锋相对，希拉里是bigot。双方互叫bigot，口水战再度被媒体爆炒。主流媒体爆炒的原因在于，过去向来都是民主党对共和党人身攻击，而特朗普作为共和党候选人，头一次对民主党人身攻击。在特朗普和希拉里的相互骂战像女人骂街，特朗普作为男人，更容易在民众眼中形象失分。主流媒体仍伺机找特朗普破绽，因此采访彭斯和克里斯蒂。
彭斯再次以事实为根据，力挺特朗普，增强特朗普的总统形象。CNN作为希拉里的主要支持者之一，围绕口水战对彭斯破天荒采访，时长达12分钟。CNN 主持人首先问彭斯，两人口水战合适吗。彭斯回答，希拉里说特朗普和支持者是bigotry和alt-right（英语的文字游戏，贬义的极右翼），这种说法本身完全错误，因为特朗普的支持者大多数是勤奋的人民，希望特朗普实施各种经济政策，让美国变得更好，希拉里对支持者的攻击，是对希望美国变得更好的人民的攻击。特朗普为了维护这些拥护者，称希拉里个人为bigot是有理有据，正义正确的。主持人又从各个角度提问，特朗普这样做是否符合总统身份。彭斯则反复让主持人从宏观和全景角度，整体上看这个事情，认真耐心的从不同角度解释，为什么特朗普的口水战非常符合总统身份。面对彭斯战略高度的解释，主持人既得不到自己想要的答案，又无力反驳。
竞选战以极快的节奏发展。特朗普团队在内部整固的同时，打退主流媒体、奥巴马和希拉里的攻势，取得显著的竞选主动权。不过民主党不会坐视失败，主流媒体积极寻找新的目标，发现特朗普的新问题。特朗普在集会演讲中，除了继续阐述其他内容外，开始积极宣传移民问题重点。在整个竞选中，移民问题是民众关注的核心问题，主要是非法移民和叙利亚难民问题。最初特朗普以强硬姿态，宣称解决非法移民和难民问题，8月特朗普在德州接受电视台公开节目时，询问现场人员对于没有犯罪记录的非法移民的态度，让很多人认为他的立场软化。主流媒体又开始大肆报道，特朗普为迎合民意随意转换立场。
特朗普团队中，彭斯对外发言的分量越来越重。面对主流媒体的反复纠缠，特朗普决定不再回答相关问题，改由团队发声。 彭斯在媒体公开采访中，反复强调特朗普的立场从未改变，所谓特朗普软化只是媒体扑风捉影，过度解读和扭曲特朗普的发言，真正问题不在特朗普，而是主流媒体。8月底，特朗普针对非法移民的演讲，姿态很强硬，终于打消大多数支持者的疑虑，受到广泛欢迎。
8月竞选的进程，是特朗普/彭斯团队以极快节奏攻防转换，实现奇迹般转败为胜的过程。8月上旬，特朗普陷入危机中，各种不利消息不断，多种力量都在反对特朗普，民众感觉特朗普即将失败甚至已经失败，但是特朗普开始反攻。8月中旬，民主党机器对特朗普的攻势显著减弱，特朗普的攻势快速加强。
8月下旬，特朗普展开全面进攻，胜势明显，民主党陷入恐慌绝望中。特朗普视察路易斯安那州水灾，承担起总统职责，与打高尔夫的奥巴马形成鲜明对比。另外，希拉里除了主流媒体的一边倒的大规模免费宣传支持外，还投放数千万美元的巨额广告。特朗普面对主流媒体的口诛笔伐，投放广告很少。但是，在主流媒体的民调上，头两周特朗普还大幅落后，后两周急起直追，明显缩小了与希拉里的差距，甚至在一些民调中领先。而且美国民意日益反对主流媒体，CNN的收视率和观众评分惨不忍睹。8月底，特朗普在出访墨西哥后，当晚移民问题的演讲一锤定音，以大胜的姿态结束8月竞选。
特朗普/团队在最短时间内花最少的钱，战胜势力强大经济实力雄厚的对手，展现出强大的内在能力。在转败为胜的过程中，彭斯显现出成熟政治家的卓越素质和能力，更表现出完美伙伴的特点。完美伙伴体现在彭斯的行动中，增强特朗普的优势、弥补特朗普的短板，实现最佳的团队作战效果。大致上，彭斯的特点表现在以下方面：
首先，处处强调特朗普，体现出卓越的团队精神，促进政治资源的整合。在过去的政治生涯中，彭斯独立决策，以独立身份或者领导身份，推动事情发展。做副总统候选人后，彭斯立即转换身份，处处突出特朗普。彭斯在各地集会演讲，主要作用是稳固保守派阵营。本来彭斯可以强调自己，以自己在保守派阵营中的号召力和影响力支持特朗普，但彭斯没这么做，而是处处以特朗普为主，积极宣传特朗普的人品、能力和政策。彭斯对的全力支持态度，影响保守派阵营的心态，对保守派阵营支持特朗普起到重要的推动作用。
其次，彭斯不动声色的整合资源，帮助特朗普整固政治基础。彭斯拥有强大的政治关系和资源，这个政治资源需要共同的基础思想理念，以及经过长期共同战斗才能稳固。彭斯冷静理性地整合政治资源，联合建制派、整合保守派，将共和党的两大反对力量转变成对特朗普的支持。
第三，患难见真情。进入大选后，特朗普缺乏政治经验的问题，导致很多弱点被主流媒体放大和利用，变成特朗普的问题集中爆发。在逆境中，共和党内对特朗普的否定或者疑虑急剧增加。彭斯采取更积极的态度，在共和党内部打气。在彭斯各地的集会演讲中，彭斯一次次地说，特朗普在遭受一次次打击后，人们都觉得他不行了，第二天他重新站起来，昂首挺胸更坚强。彭斯给予特朗普完全的信任和完全的支持。
第四，彭斯的冷静理性可以强有力支持特朗普。彭斯作为老练的政治家，低调冷静，这种姿态既与特朗普热情洋溢的性格互补，也避免喧宾夺主。 在关键斗争中，彭斯冷静理性的模式，不仅让自己无懈可击，也直接打中对手的要害。在特朗普与奥巴马和希拉里的直接相互攻击中，彭斯的冷静理性都给特朗普强大的支持，增强特朗普的可信感。与此同时，奥巴马和希拉里都缺乏冷静理性，形象显著失分。
第五，彭斯的强大理论功底，在战斗中变成强有力的支持力量。彭斯从创办智库开始，就表现出很高的理论水平，彭斯将理论贯彻到实践中，变成不可辩驳的推理和总结，加上彭斯对奥巴马和希拉里的斗争经验丰富，随时能找出两个人的漏洞，所以彭斯每次都能证明，特朗普对奥巴马和希拉里的攻击完全正确。与此同时，民主党内没有人能在理论上与彭斯抗衡。所以，民主党只能避免与彭斯辩论，只要彭斯加入战斗，主流媒体和民主党就退缩。
第六，在彭斯的积极支持下，特朗普更聚焦于发动进攻，战绩显著。在彭斯发挥作用后，特朗普不再担心防守问题，而是聚焦进攻，对奥巴马和希拉里展开全方位的冲击。进攻遇到问题时，彭斯迅速支援。两人的攻防组合双头领导模式具有强大的攻势。
特朗普和彭斯不仅是斗士组合，更是卓越团队的典范。彭斯做为完美伙伴，其内在优秀品质，通过外在行动表现出来，支持特朗普快速反败为胜。特朗普风暴正在席卷世界。

JUST IN: John Kerry’s State Dept. Secretly Funneled $9 Million to Daughter’s Nonprofit
More than $9 million of Department of State money has been funneled through the Peace Corps to a nonprofit foundation started and run by Secretary of State John Kerry’s daughter, documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.

Administration says it 'aims to admit a significantly higher number' of Syrians in 2017
The Obama administration is set to dramatically expand the number of refugees coming to the U.S. in the next fiscal year, including the number of potentially dangerous Muslim migrants.
In a private briefing with senators on Tuesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry announced a plan to increase the annual total flow of refugees to the United States from 85,000 in fiscal year 2016 to 110,000 in 2017.
“Today’s announcement is nothing short of reckless and indefensible.”
“Despite opposition by the American people, a documented link between terrorism and individuals admitted to the United States as refugees, and over $19 trillion in debt, the Obama Administration has committed the United States to admitting 110,000 refugees during Fiscal Year 2017 — a roughly 57 percent increase in the number of refugees the United States admitted as recently as FY 2015, and a roughly 29 percent increase from the Administration’s target for FY 2016,” Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who chairs the Immigration and the National Interest subcommittee, said in a statement.
The last time the U.S. took in over 100,000 refugees in a single year was 1995.

听说今天奥巴马去费城给希拉里助选。Tweeter的 Trending #ThanksObama排第二，以为粉丝在刷屏。点开一看，唉马，太欢乐了：有的感谢他带给我们President Trump; 有的感谢他endorse美国历史上最corrupted的总统候选人希拉里; 有的感谢他支持暴力袭击警察；有的感谢他治理下美国终于破产；有的感谢他让自己从民主党变成共和党(DemExit)；有的感谢他连任让大家看见了他的真面目；有的感谢他对穆斯林的兄弟情让我们见识了如此和平的宗教。。。
不知奥巴马看了，会不会感叹这届美国人民不行。
你可以在家工作赚钱。为啥你养4个孩子还要别人养，我们生孩子也是双职工，最多一人工作牺牲点考虑孩子的照顾问题，为啥还要特别照顾。这条跟民主党没啥区别。失望。
不是别人养啊，只是免税而已，省下20%的样子。现在是黑墨生一堆政府直接全额养，中产自己掏钱养娃连税都不能抵
是啊，我觉得挺合理的，不可能完全不交税吧 像FSA 不都有个上限么, 只是存入的那部分钱免税，省下的税也都是他们自己挣的，总比交了养墨黑穆孩子好~
mark levin是cruz的粉，极右一派。川普本来就是中间派。
奥巴马什么时候发布过这样的政策? 他的奥巴care就是剥削中产补贴穷人，民主党什么时候给中产好处过？
是啊，给中产这点甜头真的不算啥，省的本来就是他们自己挣的钱，其实也不会有多少，不交税吃福利那些才是拿别人的钱养自己的孩子~我也只有一娃还上小学了肯定享受不了这政策也无所谓，我希望中产能多生孩子 不然以后都被墨黑穆占领了~
here is a comparison between the two nominees of policies on child care:

这个是很大的问题，必须要有生育率，人口老龄化会影响经济，如果没有足够的年轻人就要搞非法和难民，人口素质不如美国本土的传统价值观的白人好。能纳税的家庭养的孩子素质比那些吃福利的要好的多。
This is what you have got? Finally, Trump provided something that might have a chance to win some female votes over, you want to bury it right away just like that? Again, the Trump supporters I see here are so rigid in thinking and leave little to no room for discussion.
A policy like this is definitely going to require support from both parties in Congress, as GOP traditionally won't like the idea of government interfering with child care much.
To me, this policy would be a great step towards quality child care in the US, which is desperately needed by tech workers. In general, this is in line with building a prosperous society, as demanded by Constitution. Please don't confuse it with something that's purely self-interest driven.
A lot of forward thinking tech companies have paternity leaves also
稀拉拉的穆斯林难民政策，非法移民政策就没法选她。美国人现在要CHANGE，不要另一个奥巴马
请原谅我对你这么不客气，之前看了几次你和福神树大妈的互动实在把我恶心坏了，你们的风格我也早就领教，也不会再在乎你们的看法~你管我想怎样呢，我怎么样你也不会弃暗投明啊，你还是和树大妈继续互相吹捧吧，我都很久不点进去看你们俩的贴了，难道非要凑过来恶心人~
更别说什么大开国门，难民非移无限收的自杀行为了，我看连男克时期的民主党都做不出这样的事，现在的民主党真是中了邪了，为了票仓不惜一切，中产被剪羊毛然后连基本的人身安全都得不到保障，还连说都不能说，不然一顶deplorable的大帽子就扣过来。惨就一个字
sorry I wasn't trying to work on you...
I hope every one can make an informed decision. nothing I said here was meant to feel personal to you.
here's another report on the comparison between the two nominees' policies on child care: https://www.care.com/c/stories/1427/candidates-on-care-what-donald-trump-and-hil/
note Hillary's policy does pertain to everyone, not just women
again, ungrounded accusations are disgraceful, like claiming Hillary lacks a plan for childcare, or that she has one that hurts women.
What Trump did today seems like a new start, plz don't ruin it for him.
President Barack Obama plans to admit 110,000 refugees from around the world to the United States over the next year — a figure that is 10,000 above his original goal and which immediately set off howls of protest from some Republicans.
The 110,000 figure is expected to include a substantial number of Syrian refugees, whose admission to the U.S. has sparked debate in the presidential race. Republican nominee Donald Trump wants to bar Syrian refugees completely, alleging that terrorists could be hiding among them.
At the same time, the 110,000 figure, which covers the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, is likely to disappoint many supporters of the refugee program, who have been urging the administration to take in as many as 200,000 displaced people from around the world.
A senior Obama administration official confirmed late Tuesday that Secretary of State John Kerry had briefed Congress earlier in the day about the administration's new plan. He noted that Kerry had said several months ago that the U.S. wanted to admit at least 100,000 refugees worldwide but that it would take more if it could.
