5am – E Why the District of Columbia is the best and worst place to live. (Washington Examiner) – The District of Columbia’s residents reported average levels of happiness compared to the 50 states. But for its mediocre standing overall, those inside the Beltway saw extreme contrasts in their lifestyle details. A new study by Wallet Hub rated the levels of happiness in the 50 states and District of Columbia. The nation’s capital placed 18th from the top, but the poll’s other findings indicate Washingtonians have a severe mix of the good and bad. The District of Columbia has the lowest number of suicides: 7.8 per 100,000 residents, which is three times lower than in Montana, where the number is 24, the highest rate in the country. There may be a reason Washington residents are infamous for asking one another what they do instead of if they’re in a relationship. D.C. has the highest divorce and separation rate than any state, weighing in at 31 percent. Utah had the lowest with 16 percent. D.C. owned binge-drinking, where 25 percent of adults admitted to taking part in the activity, more than any other state.
6am – A/B/C Trump challenges Clinton to debate without a moderator. Complaining about being treated unfairly by the moderators before the presidential debates with Hillary Clinton even begin, Republican nominee Donald Trump told CNBC on Monday the system was being “rigged.” “I think we should have a debate with no moderator, just Hillary and I sitting there talking,” Trump offered on “Squawk Box,” predicting he’s going to be “treated very, very unfairly.” Making his case, Trump said debate moderators will try to be extra tough, because of the criticism that NBC’s Matt Lauer was too “easy on me,” during the network’s Commander-In-Chief Forum last week. “Well, [Lauer] wasn’t. I thought he was very professional. I have to be honest, I think he’s been treated very unfairly,” Trump added, in reference to the NBC forum, during which the candidates were interviewed separately on stage one right after the other.
6am – D/E Dems Worried About Hillary:
- Cokie Roberts Floats That Dems Are ‘Nervously Whispering’ About Clinton ‘Stepping Aside.’ On NPR’s Morning Edition, journalist and author Cokie Roberts indicated that many of the establishment Democrats may be getting antsy over the renewed speculation of Hillary Clinton‘s health. Roberts’ comments come just a day after the former Secretary of State was forced to leave a 9/11 remembrance ceremony early due to an illness, amid reports from her campaign that she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. “It’s taking her off of the campaign trail,” said Roberts Monday morning, indicating that the pneumonia has forced Clinton to cancel her upcoming trip to California. But as for members of the Democratic party, “It has them very nervously beginning to whisper about her stepping aside and finding another candidate.”
- Bill Clinton: Hillary Clinton has ‘rarely,’ but on occasion, had dehydration spells.
- Former DNC chairman calls for Clinton contingency plan. It’s extremely unlikely Democrats will have to change the ticket. But even some Clinton allies say there should be a clearer process. A former Democratic National Committee chairman says President Barack Obama and the party’s congressional leaders should immediately come up with a process to identify a potential successor candidate for Hillary Clinton for the off-chance a health emergency forces her out of the race. “Now is the time for all good political leaders to come to the aid of their party,” said Don Fowler, who helmed the DNC from 1995 to 1997, during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and has backed Hillary Clinton since her 2008 presidential bid. “I think the plan should be developed by 6 o’clock this afternoon.”

8am – B Trump Weighs In Deplorables Comment:
- Trump Brings Supporters On Stage To Smack Hillary: ‘My Wife And I Are Not Deplorable People’ [VIDEO] (Daily Caller) — At a rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump brought supporters up on stage and invited them to respond to Hillary Clinton’s assertion that his supporters are a “basket of deplorables.” One pair, a married African American couple who told the crowd they’ve spent a combined 85 years in public education, said, “My wife and I represent non-deplorable people.” “We are not racists at all,” he continued. “We don’t even fit on that list that she put out.” “As a black, female American, I say let’s get out and support Donald Trump,” his wife exclaimed. Trump then invited anyone else on stage who wanted to speak to say something. “I am, probably, a lot of things, deplorable is not one of them, I assure you,” the next woman said. “So, we are going to make America great again. And Hillary needs to take a nap.”
- Trump out with new ad hitting Clinton as ‘deplorable’ (USA Today) – Donald Trump’s campaign is attempting to use the fact that Hillary Clinton called “half” of his supporters “deplorable” to his advantage. On Monday, the Republican nominee released an ad saying that Clinton’s comments are the “deplorable” ones. “Speaking to wealthy donors, Hillary Clinton called tens of millions of Americans ‘deplorable,’ ” the narrator of the ad says as images of a diverse crowd of Trump supporters are shown on screen. Then a clip of Clinton speaking at a fundraiser Friday night appears: “You can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” “People like you, you and you — deplorable,” the narrator says. “You know what’s deplorable? Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hardworking people like you.”
8am – C The Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., had its soft opening Monday. (USA Today) — Donald Trump is making a bid to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January. But regardless of whether the Republican presidential nominee succeeds, he’ll be able to stay at his newest hotel just a few blocks away. The Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., opened on Monday. The 263-room hotel is located at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, in what was once the historic Postmaster General’s building. Trump’s company was given a 60 year lease by the federal government in a deal to restore the landmark building. The property features 35 suites. A 4,000 square-foot three-bedroom presidential suite that used to be the Postmaster General’s office has 16-foot ceilings. The hotel will have its official opening in late October, which the Trump family is expected to attend. In addition to the Presidential suite, the hotel has a 6,300 square foot “Trump Townhouse,” a bi-level apartment with a private entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue. It featured two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private office, workout room and dining room that can seat up to 24.
