Obamacare Woes Could Spell Trouble for Clinton

Early voting has already begun in Texas and Florida, and Donald Trump is hitting the Sunshine State hard. He's making political hay with the news that Obamacare premiums are about to rise sharply.

According to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services, Obamacare plans on HealthCare.gov will increase an average of 25 percent, leaving many people with just one insurer.

"It's over for Obamacare, and Hillary Clinton wants to double down and make it more expensive. It's not going to work," Trump told supporters at a campaign rally in Tampa, Florida.

He's also lashing out against polls that show Clinton ahead.

"Folks we're winning, we're winning. They are phony polls put out by phony media," Trump assured his supporters.

Meanwhile, Clinton is campaigning with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who is bashing Trump for calling Clinton a "nasty woman" in the last presidential debate.

"Get this, Donald. Nasty women are tough, nasty women are smart and nasty women vote," Warren declared.

The news comes as Clinton is facing a new revelation about the FBI probe into her emails that could raise more suspicions of political favors.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime friend of the Clintons, donated money to the political campaign of the wife of a top FBI official while the bureau was investigating her email scandal.

Nevertheless, the FBI says it's no big deal because the FBI official wasn't involved in the investigation into the Clinton emails until after his wife lost her race.

Critics, however, find it hard to believe that a top FBI official wasn't involved in the bureau's biggest case, and they call it another example of the questionable FBI investigation into the Clinton email scandal.

Trump wants an investigation.

"It's absolutely disgraceful. It's absolutely terrible and it's unbelievable how Hillary Clinton got away with the email lie, the email scam, the email corruption, but now at least we have a pretty good idea," Trump said. "She has to be held accountable because she knew that money, $675,000 plus, was being paid."

Clinton is also dealing with a new undercover video from James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. The footage shows a political consultant who allegedly worked with the Democratic Party saying that Clinton authorized the use of Donald Duck costumes at Trump rallies, a potential violation of federal campaign laws.

These issues may or may not spell trouble for Clinton, who appears to be enjoying a lead in the polls. She will also campaign in Florida Tuesday as both candidates fight to the finish.
