Donald Trump said Thursday in Manchester, N.H, that the Democratic leadership has “betrayed” black and Latino Americans over the past decades, portraying rival Hillary Clinton as the candidate who will bring down communities of color while he can lift them up.

Clinton needs to retain support from minority voters to defeat her Republican rival in the November 8 election and was delivering a speech in Nevada in which she blasted him as a divisive candidate stoking racist groups.
Clinton also warned that Trump has “built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia”, which is “taking hate groups mainstream”.
More than half of the likely voters, or 53 percent, said they had “strongly unfavorable” views of Republican presidentialnominee Donald Trump, while 46 percent said the same about his Democraticrival Hillary Clinton, according to a national poll released Thursday. You’re racist. You’re racist.’ They keep saying it, ‘you’re racist.’ It’s a exhausted and disgusting argument. “It’s a exhausted, disgusting argument”. “They are failing so badly”.
More recently, the Trump campaign hired the CEO of far-right publication Breitbart News, which Clinton accused of propagating “an emerging racist ideology known as the ‘alt-right.'” This “de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump Campaign represents a landmark achievement for the alt-right”, she said.
The position change of Trump seems to be too convenient while the allegations over the Clinton Foundation have dealt a new blow to the Democratic nominee, leaving small room for them to swiftly enhance their popularities among voters, local analysts say. But that doesn’t mean Coulter is done with Trump. The Republican candidate, who polls poorly among visible minorities, is trying to broaden his appeal ahead of the presidential election. “Except change his immigration policies”.
Thursday on Hannity, Ann Coulter weighed in on Donald Trump’s interview with Sean Hannity this week in which the candidate said he was open to “softening” immigration laws and would “work with” illegal immigrant families.
During his unprecedented rise during the primaries, immigration was Trump’s hallmark issue. He also met on Thursday morning with black and Hispanic Republicans at his NY headquarters.
Trump told reporters in Trump Tower Thursday that he would be making an immigration speech in a ‘week or so’. In the video, a Klu Klux Klan leader is quoted saying: “The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes in we believe in”. On Wednesday, Trump “polled” the audience by applause on whether an undocumented immigrant who had been in the USA for years should be allowed to go through some sort of process and stay in the country ― the broad strokes of immigration reform he criticized opponents including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. “It’s the last refuge of the discredited Democratic politician”.
The softening comes as Trump hopes to erode some of Clinton’s strong support with Hispanic and black voters, a central part of his campaign message for the past two weeks. “This is a moment of reckoning for every Republican dismayed that the Party of Lincoln has become the Party of Trump”, Clinton asserted.
“This type of rhetoric and repulsive advertising is revolting and completely beyond the pale”, Mark Burns, an African-American pastor who supports Trump, said in a statement.
“She is a bigot”, he said.
In Spanish, Puerto Rican Wilfredo Martinez says he not convinced by Trump.

Just “Seven percent of Americans say immigration is the most important problem facing the country today”, he added. “I’ve had people say it’s a hardening, actually”. There are, in the United States, more than three times as many foreign-born Americans (roughly 40 million) who are here legally as there are illegal immigrants (about 11 million). Marco Rubio must have fallen off his little chair, because what Trump now proposes looks much like what Rubio and seven other USA senators tried to push through Congress only to be thwarted by conservative Republicans. What is more, Mr Trump had made those claims “in front of largely white audiences”, she chided.
