The Democratic nominee, who was recently diagnosed with pneumonia, spent Tuesday at her home in Chappaqua, New York, where she watched President Barack Obama’s stump speech in Philadelphia on her behalf, Merrill said. Obama said. “He saw America as a shining city on a hill, Donald Trump calls it a divided crime scene”.

Clinton has said she regretted her remark.
Video of her staggering and stumbling at a 9/11 ceremony on Sunday and her controversial comments about Trump’s supporters at a Friday fundraiser both occurred while she suffered from lingering pneumonia.
The 68-year-old former First Lady was forced to abruptly leave a 9/11 memorial in NY on Sunday due to a medical episode, stirring speculation about her well-being.
“And the other who isn’t fit in any way shape or form to represent this country overseas or to be its commander in chief”, Mr Obama said at campaign rally in Philadelphia. “How can you be president for so many people?”
“I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”. Clinton’s campaign has charged that Putin’s government may be trying to sway the US election in Trump’s favor, a claim Putin denied in an interview with Bloomberg News. You’ve got one candidate in this race who’s released decades’ worth of her tax returns. “Guys in the back, I’m just telling you the truth about how I feel about this”, he said. As he did Tuesday, Obama then said that there had never been a man or woman seeking the presidency more qualified than his rival in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. The latest poll by Quinnipiac University found her with a 5 percentage point edge over Republican Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. “I think the president’s belief that she’d be an excellent president of the United States is something that you’ve heard him say many times”. Trump and his aides were apparently so outraged, they launched a new television ad highlighting Clinton’s criticisms, followed by Trump complaining bitterly yesterday about the Democrat’s rhetoric and her reference to the “basket of deplorables” that makes up so much of Trump’s right-wing base.
“Obviously I was supposed to rest five days”, she said.
Tanden recalled a time when Clinton, then a NY senator, refused to cancel a public service announcement she was scheduled to tape with Sesame Street even though she was sick.
“If you’re chumming around with the head of the Ku Klux Klan or people that have that type, that’s deplorable”, he said, referring to David Duke, a white supremacist and vocal Trump supporter.

The president added: “They just – ‘I was opposed to the war in Iraq.’ Well, actually he wasn’t”.
