Is Trump tired of winning already? He seems to be raising the specter of losing quite a bit lately, whether it's based on unfair media coverage, election fraud, flawed polling or poorly aligned chakras. He still has lots of time to turn things around, but he probably shouldn't count on Millennials to turn things around for him.

Trump starts the week by talking about his ISIS plan today in Ohio. He needs a good showing to kick off the week ... only 12 full weeks of campaigning remain.

'I'm not Trump Lite,' says Trump Lite

Mike Pence: He's a lot like Donald Trump; they just replaced the Trumpian braggadocio with aspartame. Pence appeared on Fox News Sunday yesterday and refused to accept the label of Trump's "cleanup crew." Host Chris Wallace played a clip of an 11-year-old at a rally in North Carolina asking the Republican vice presidential nominee if his role was to "soften" Trump's image.

"Well, look. we have different styles, but as I told that little boy, we have exactly the same convictions," said Pence in the interview, just the latest incident of Trump's running mate taking a softer tone than the guy at the top of the ticket.

In another significant contrast between the running mates, Pence said he would release his tax returns soon, telling WABC that "The Pences have not become more wealthy as a result of 16 years in public service. There’s been a lot of sacrifices. We’re a middle-class family.” Meanwhile, Trump continues not to release his tax returns, something every presidential candidate has done since the days of eight tracks. Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson appeared on Fox News to dismiss tax return releases as a "novelty."

Trump to reveal ISIS plan

1) Defeat ISIS.

2) Don't make more enemies in the Middle East.

3) My opponent is alienating our friends and actively recruiting for ISIS.

Looks like both sides are in agreement on the ISIS game plan, everyone! Donald Trump will unveil his plan to defeat ISIS this afternoon in a speech at Youngstown State University in Ohio. Trump surrogates Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions both alluded to the speech's content on talk shows yesterday, with Sessions saying Trump would "talk about how you target your enemies and work with your friends. You don't overreach and destabilize countries like the Obama/Clinton administration has done." Clinton and her allies say Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric is to blame for alienating moderates in the Middle East, with Clinton herself calling Trump's words "a recruiting tool for ISIS to help them increase its ranks of people willing to do what we saw in Orlando."

Speaking of Trump-Clinton agreement ...

At least some aspects of the economic plans for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in agreement, according to the strategies laid out last week by both candidates. Both have come out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, both want to spend more on infrastructure, and both want to offer childcare tax credits, though the degrees and mechanisms differ. Cracking down on trade violations is a key component of both plans -- Trump wants to put a 45% tariff on Chinese imports if trade violations continue; Clinton wants tariffs, but not quite as extreme. And while Trump wants to lower the corporate tax rate to 15%, Hillary hasn't said a word on the subject (but may follow Barack Obama's suggestion to drop it to 28%).

After that, things diverge. Clinton wants to raise personal income taxes, make state and community colleges tuition-free for middle-income families and provide family and medical leave for American workers. Man, so close! It seemed like we had some common ground there for a second.
