About two-thirds of Trump voters said they were mainly voting anti-Clinton and about half of Clinton voters said they were mainly voting anti-Trump.

Aides said Clinton will link Trump’s statements about immigration and religion to the rise of a political fringe movement in the US known as the “alternative right”, which opposes multiculturalism and immigration.
Clinton plans to hammer Trump in a speech later Thursday and tie him to the so-called alt-right movement. “Last night, in an address to a crowd in Jackson, Miss., the Republican presidential nominee said of Hillary Clinton: “[She’s] a bigot who sees people of color only as votes”, pausing to let the crowd cheer, “not as human beings worthy of a better future”.
Hillary Clinton is due to give a speech on Thursday about the dangers posed by Donald Trump’s “alt-right” supporters – and now it seems one top alt-right leader is helping her make her case. Breitbart has become a hub for the alt-right community during the 2016 race.
His poll numbers falling behind Hillary Clinton’s with less than three months until Election Day, Trump has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in an effort to broaden his appeal.
Many African-American leaders and voters have dismissed Trump’s message – delivered to predominantly white rally audiences – as condescending and intended more to reassure undecided white voters that he’s not racist, than to actually help minority communities.
Thursday’s poll of likely voters shows Clinton leading Trump 51-41 percent. Instead, she offered a strident denouncement of Trump’s campaign, charging him with fostering hate and pushing discriminatory policies, like his proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
She also has come under scrutiny for allegedly breaching a firewall between her family charity and her role as secretary of state, sparking Republican complaints of special favors granted to donors to the Clinton Foundation.
“Twenty years ago, when Bob Dole accepted the Republican nomination, he pointed to the exits and told any racists in the party to get out”.
Bill Clinton previously said that if Hillary Clinton is elected, the Foundation will not accept donations from foreign government and corporations.
Calling it “a exhausted, disgusting argument”, he said it was Mrs Clinton who was being a “racist” by viewing minorities merely as a source of votes while doing nothing for them.
Clinton herself has called out Trump for “bigotry.” Clinton said she was impressed to hear that the volunteers had registered 10 people so far on Thursday. The spokesperson said Chelsea Clinton was staying on the board to “steward the implementation of changes”, including “new fundraising policies”. ‘He has brought it into his campaign’. “I will have more to say about this tomorrow”. The video also attacked Trump’s new campaign chief executive, Steve Bannon, who previously ran Breitbart News, considered by many to be a hub for alt-right views.

Besides the speech she is scheduled to deliver here, Clinton has also sought to make news in recent days by rolling out a package of initiatives created to bolster small businesses.
