Trump tries to clarify stance on immigration – again

He made a foreign policy address last week during an invitation-only event at Youngstown State University, where he proposed his plans to halt immigration from risky areas around the world.

But Trump’s campaign has pushed back on the notion that he’s reversing course.

At a rally Monday night in Akron, Ohio, Trump struggled to stick to a script prepared by campaign staff, repeatedly veering from the words on his teleprompter. She leads him in national polls by an average of 5.5 percentage points, according to RealClearPolitics.

A battleground map released by NBC News last week reflects the current of state of play in this year’s election based on past results, public polling and analysis. It showed Clinton with 288 electoral votes-18 more than the required 270 needed to win the oval office.

Ohio, with its 18 electoral votes, is among the five battleground states on the map fitting into the “tossup” category. “And I want to take this opportunity to thank the law enforcement and police officials that are here tonight and all across the country for their sacrifice in these unsafe times”. “We have existing laws that allow you to do that”. “We’ll get rid of the crime. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot”.

He said the U.S. Justice Department under President Obama can’t be trusted to investigate her so a special prosecutor should be appointed.

The GOP has sought to characterize the charity as a pay-to-play scheme that allowed wealthy donors and foreign governments to influence Clinton when she was the top USA diplomat from 2009-2013.

“What the hell do you have to lose?”

“We’re going to build a wall”, he said. “That wall will go up so fast, your head will spin”.

A Monmouth University Poll conducted July 30 to August 21 found Mrs. Clinton leading Mr. Trump among likely OH voters by 43 percent to 39 percent, but with a margin of error of 4.9 percent. Among those supporters is Bob Kunst, a 74-year-old native of Miami Beach, Florida.

Trump first posed this question to African American voters during a rally in North Carolina on Thursday, then repeated it at a rally in MI on Friday and Virginia on Saturday.

Trump’s comments come amid reports over the weekend that during a roundtable meeting with Hispanic leaders, he expressed an openness to changing his hard-line stance on undocumented immigration. “The media is a bunch of liars”, she said. I’m rubber, you’re glue.

“I don’t see any future with Hillary”, Kunst said. “It’s a gambling thing”. And you’ll say, ‘You know, he meant it.’ And you know what else I mean? “We cannot afford this out of touch and divisive thinking in the White House, which is why we must take nothing for granted and work as hard as we can to make sure Hillary Clinton is our next president”, Marshall said.

“I will straighten it out”, Trump told roughly 4,000 supporters, criticizing the inner cities, which he says have been run by Democrats. “And at the end of the day, she’s the Democratic candidate. But we’ll stop them”, Trump said, promising to renegotiate trade deals long backed by Republicans.

A capacity crowd filled the 5,000-seat James A. Rhodes arena – but not until Mr. Trump was almost to the end of his speech because the rally started more than a half hour before the 7 p.m. scheduled starting time.

Trump, meanwhile, has sought to undermine that advantage, accusing Clinton of “using the woman card” to boost her appeal. “He’s his own man”.

The desire to convince whites he is not a flaming bigot may also be why one of the pillars of Trump’s campaign – the promise to round up and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants – has suddenly gone wobbly. “I’m not going to put them in a detention center. No”.

“Trump’s a businessman, so he’s had to think for himself”.

Brock, a charter member of that “ragtag bunch” before having a political conversion, added, “Today’s equivalent is more a conglomerate than a conspiracy”. And Trump’s not a politician, which is why he’s got my vote.
