Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by double digits in new national poll
Her admission that there’s a lot of smoke but no fire is a complete lie, and the American public’s response will be to do exactly as her campaign suggests: “don’t vote for her”, Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement.

Hillary Clinton on Thursday delivered a blistering denunciation of Donald Trump, saying he had embraced the “alt-right” political philosophy and presenting his choice as an especially ominous turn in a presidential election full of them. “But it’s never had the nominee of a major party stoking it, encouraging it and giving it a national megaphone until now”. It’s the last refuge of the discredited Democrat politician.
Clinton called out Trump for retweeting white supremacists, for posting online an attack of her widely perceived as anti-Semitic – it included a Star of David imposed over piles of dollar bills – and for initially selecting a white-nationalist leader as a convention delegate from California. The Republican nominee flatly labeled her a “bigot” on Wednesday, prompting Clinton to tell CNN he was “taking a hate movement mainstream” and was outside the norm of American politics. Gamergate’s organizing hubs have been quickly eclipsed by Reddit’s Trump forum /r/The_Donald, where the alt-right piles in by the tens of thousands each day to circulate racist memes and baseless conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s mental capacities. “It’s the oldest play in the Democratic playbook”, Trump said at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, decrying the former secretary of state’s attempts to “smear” as racists “millions of decent Americans”.
A number of news outlets have reported on and explained the alt-right. But as Trump gained support, his opponents were forced to modulate their stances, as even those like Rubio who had supported a path to citizenship for people in the country illegally put the focus on border security first. Numerous commenters on the pro-Trump page prepared for the big moment by ironically professing their love for Clinton and posting swastikas beside her image.
The upside, for Trump, is that it gives him a fervent base of supporters who evangelize on his behalf in every medium they can access.
In a video published on Thursday, the Clinton campaign links clips of KKK members, including Duke, backing Trump. She added: “And now Trump is trying to rebrand himself as well”.
Former President Bill Clinton, who helped establish the global charity after serving two terms in the White House, would resign from the board if his wife wins the November 8 election, the foundation announced last week. We need good debates.
For its part, in an article Thursday, two writers at Breitbart, Allum Bokhari and Milo Yiannopoulos, denied that the publication supports the alt-right, which they called a “complex and fascinating movement”. “Nothing more nothing less”, another tweet said.
“Mika, I am sure”, Clinton said. The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump campaign represents a landmark achievement for the alt-right. It’s about who we are as a nation. If you watch broadcast and cable news, if you read newspapers and magazines, if you listen to political radio and podcasts, there’s a strong chance you haven’t heard the term either. “He’s brought it into his campaign”. The Alt-Right holds, in essence, that all men are not created equal, and that as racial equality has displaced white dominance, America has declined and no longer merits the allegiance of its white citizens.
Clinton added that “someone who’s questioned the citizenship of the first African-American President, who has courted white supremacists, who’s been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color, who’s attacked a judge for his Mexican heritage and promised a mass deportation force, is someone who is very much peddling bigotry and prejudice and paranoia”. She said former Republican nominees, such as Bob Dole, John McCain and former president George W. Bush, rejected their support and worldview.
