Welcome to the Trump-Clinton conspiracy election

“There’s no other Donald Trump”, Clinton concluded. “His supporters can be pretty vocal. But what’s scarier is the prospect of a Trump presidency, and what that would do to our future”.

His supporters were out in force, too. The Republican nominee, who donated to the Clinton Foundation, has repeatedly charged that his opponent, while secretary of state, provided access to foundation contributors in exchange for donations to the charity at the heart of Bill Clinton’s post-presidential legacy. “But we have to do it in a way where no one loses their job, no one loses their income, no one loses their life”. “Maybe I’d be building buildings or something”.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its global programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press.

-He hired a campaign manager who headed the Breitbart news site, which celebrated the Confederate flag amid the controversy following last year’s Charleston massacre: “Just imagine”, Clinton said, “Donald Trump reading that and thinking, ‘This is what I need more of in my campaign'”.

“Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists”, Trump predicted.

Bill Clinton said changes at the foundation are needed if Hillary Clinton becomes president that weren’t necessary when she led the State Department. “I want you to hear these words, and remember these words: Shame on you”.

Clinton’s lead over Trump swells without the third-party candidates included, Quinnipiac found.

“He promoted the racist lie that President Obama isn’t really an American citizen – part of a sustained effort to delegitimize America’s first black president”.

“He says he wants to ‘make America great again, ‘ but his real message remains ‘Make America hate again'”.

During a major speech on the alternative-right movement in Nevada, the Democratic presidential nominee took aim at media like the website Breitbart and Alex Jones, a talk-show host famous for pedaling conspiracy theories. “Nothing more nothing less”, another tweet said.

Trump did not directly attack Clinton’s claims, laid out in a video earlier on Thursday, that Trump has attracted and at-times refused – or been slow – to disavow the support of white nationalists, including the former KKK leader David Duke.

Trump has taken a newfound interest in courting the support of minorities, telling black and Latino voters that Democratic politicians use them for their votes. ‘Premedication, ‘ that’s a very – premedication, I think I like it.

A recent NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll showed Clinton leading Trump nationally by 8 points – 50 to 42 percent.
