As Clinton was leaving the stage, she was asked, “Senator Clinton, do you have a response to Donald Trump appearing on Russian-funded television?”

Sen. Marco Rubio Friday strongly disagreed with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s leadership capabilities over President Barack Obama’s, saying Putin is a dictator, not a strong leader.
He also suggested that the allegation was politically motivated.
Trump repeated: “I think this will be the last election if I don’t win. Because that would not be appropriate at all”.
The New York businessman made the comments in an interview with former CNN broadcaster Larry King, whose podcast was aired on Thursday night on RT network, a 24-hour, Russian-language news channel.
Trump, meanwhile, contended that the United States should’ve never gone to war in Iraq or gotten out the way it did – something which he said helped spark the so-called Islamic State.
“If you’re going to be president, you have to say the same thing at home and overseas”, he said.
Trump sought on Friday to blame Clinton after reports that North Korea had tested a nuclear weapon, arguing it was the fourth such test since the Democrat became secretary of state in 2009 and that she should have ended the nation’s nuclear program before her tenure ended in early 2013. Up until the final day, there were concerns that Trump might back out, one of the organizers said on condition of anonymity.
Before that, Trump was widely condemned in July when, in an off-handed remark, Trump called on the Russian government to intervene in the election by releasing thousands of Clinton’s private emails.
“Just when Hillary Clinton said she was going to start running a positive campaign, she ripped off her mask and revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans”, Mr. Miller said.
“RT if you agree: We need a President who is fighting for all Americans, not one who writes off almost half the country”, Obama’s tweet from September 18, 2012 said.
Before this week comes to an end, I wanted to take just a moment to share how proud I am of all the work our teams produced together this week.
For several moments Clinton stood still, shaking her head – then returned to the podium.
Trump went on to praise Putin’s leadership and pooh-pooh concerns about Putin’s authoritarianism: “I mean, you can say, oh, isn’t that a bad thing-the man has very strong control over a country”.

When King asked about reports that USA intelligence agencies are investigating whether Russian Federation is trying to disrupt the election, Trump said that he’s skeptical.
