“I think journalists have a special responsibility to our democracy in a time like this”, Clinton said. In part, those folks are less enthusiastic about the Republican presidential candidate than they once were.

More than seven months since her last formal press conference, the former secretary of State addressed a room full of journalists and took a few questions.
President Barack Obama helped widen the perception of the office as the first president who was not a white male. In every other year, loyalty from the two parties’ voters has been within a percentage point or the party with more support from its voters for its candidate prevailed.
“I was pointing out. that Director Comey had said that my answers in my Federal Bureau of Investigation interview were truthful that’s really the bottom line here and I have said during the interview and in many other occasions in the past months that what I have told the Federal Bureau of Investigation – which he said was truthful – is consistent with what I have said publicly”, Clinton said.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump may be behind in the polls right now, but the Republican presidential nominee is already starting to think about putting together his cabinet if he wins. In contrast, Donald Trump opposed the war in Iraq, so theoretically, if Trump was President, instead of George W. Bush, the Khan’s son may have never been killed.
More than 7 in 10 young Americans don’t see Trump or Clinton alike as honest and trustworthy.
AFP adds: a former top Central Intelligence Agency official emphatically endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Friday, calling Donald Trump an “unwitting agent” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Compared to her 2008 presidential bid, during which she played down her gender, Clinton has been far more comfortable this time embracing her history-making campaign.
Sometimes the split came over policy. “That really is the bottom line here”, she said.
“There’s more hope, I think, for the Democratic Party, but we’re going to have to force them”, MI resident, Rachel Mace, 20, told Associated Press.

The director of the Marist College polling group, Lee Miringoff, said Friday that the rapid switch in voters’ preferences shows “a Trump candidacy in jeopardy”.
Ms. Perry at the Miller Center says that while Obama’s attacks are unprecedented for contemporary times, so too is Trump’s candidacy – as a candidate with no government experience and “a genuine demagogue”.
“There’s nothing like winning to change minds”, she said. “She is the one that is (saying), ‘I am the steady hand'”.
With her jewel-toned jackets, supportive first gentleman and campaign trail chitchat about grandkids and yoga, Hillary Clinton gives leadership a different look.

Hence, Clinton was able to provide a sharp, contrasting and relatively unchallenged picture of what her administration would do on a number of key concerns for Black and Latino voters. These are the same voters who are highly skeptical of Obama’s free trade agreements. Miringoff said “a long list of unforced errors by Trump” – including the controversy generated by his criticism of a Muslim couple who spoke at the final session of the Democratic convention on July 28 – and a “post-convention bounce” in support for Clinton accounted for the poll results. “Large majorities of young adults across all racial and ethnic groups said they did know enough about Gary Johnson and Jill Stein to say whether they held favorable or unfavorable views of them”, stated the GenForward poll.
