“She’s got problems”, Trump said, seizing on Clinton’s explanation that she “short-circuited” a recent answer about her truthfulness in discussing her email server. Still, few said they’d support Trump.

Trump has returned to New Hampshire on two other occasions, but both times he held small, private events rather than the gymnasium rallies that have become a staple of his campaign.
They were rare concessions in a Trump speech, coming only days after the NY real estate mogul, because of various campaign spats, said he “wasn’t quite there” as far as backing the trio of powerful Republicans – all of them from states increasingly in play – in their reelection bids.
Trump seized on Clinton’s comments on Friday that she had “short-circuited” when she said a week ago that FBI Director James Comey had said she had been truthful to the American people in her use of a private email server while USA secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
While Trump in the last week escalated a feud with the parents of a fallen USA soldier and opened a party rift by saying he was not yet ready to endorse the Republican speaker of the House, Trump on Friday launched into a lengthy and focused attack on Clinton during his rallies, and built on those attacks on Saturday. Clinton was blasted by reporters for recently mischaracterizing FBI Director James Comey’s comments about whether her public statements about the emails were truthful. It was a stirring scene that has been seared into the public consciousness not only due to the power of his words, but by the fact that Trump has attacked the Khan family in the days since.
One week after the end of their national convention, Democrats have gotten much of what they sought: a more unified party and new confidence about Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the presidential election in November. That claim has been repeatedly proved false. “What I told the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what I have said publicly”. Clinton had the support of 48% of those surveyed, and Trump had 33%. The video eventually cuts to a clip of Clinton’s “I may have short-circuited” quote from Friday.
In addition to Morell, a group of former senior United States government officials and military officers, including several who served in top posts under Republican presidents, denounced Trump in a recent letter and called Trump’s recent comments wavering on the strength of the US’s commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation military alliance “reckless, dangerous, and extremely unwise”.
“Now you tell me she looks presidential, folks. How great is this”.
Eager to change their minds, Trump unleashed a torrent of insults at Clinton throughout the day. Republicans have denounced Trump’s attacks, as have nonpartisan Veterans organizations such as the VFW.
“The character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even risky, commander in chief”, Morell wrote, pointing to Trump’s “obvious need for self-aggrandizement, his overreaction to perceived slights” and “his routine carelessness with the facts”.
“In the old steel towns around Pittsburgh, a lot of people are going to vote for Trump who haven’t voted before”.
Trump knows this and it is why he continues to attack his own Republican party establishment. “Can we trust him?”

Q: My question is, you’ve accused Donald Trump of using racist and sexist language. “They’ll spend a billion dollars on this but the people aren’t buying it”.
