Thursday on Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect,” Republican political consultant Mary Matalin said she is “confident” Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will win. When asked about the odds of a Trump victory in November, Matalin said, “I think he has a 100 percent chance of winning.” She continued, “I’m confident he’s going to win. The race is closing despite Mrs. Clinton’s dumping hundreds of millions of dollars relative to his $4 million or whatever.” Backing off a little on the 100 percent prediction, she gave Hillary Clinton a “10 percent to 15 percent,” chance of winning, adding, “I just think he’s going to win.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Rand Paul: ‘Donald Trump Would Be a Better Commander-in-Chief’
Thursday on CNN’s “Wolf,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is more qualified than Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton be commander-in-chief of the United States. Partial transcript as follows: BLITZER: Very quickly, who’s more qualified to be commander in chief? Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? PAUL: Without question, I think Hillary Clinton would more likely get us involved in another war in the Middle East. She’s been for sending arms into Syria. From the very beginning, Donald Trump has said that he questioned the Iraq War. So that gives me some consolation that Donald Trump would be a better commander in chief because he at least had the foresight to see that the first—the Iraq War led to a destabilization of the area and Hillary Clinton was on the other side of that.
