Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young – and largely minority – volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments.

“I am going to build a great border wall, institute nationwide e-verify, stop illegal immigrants from accessing welfare and entitlements and develop an exit-entry tracking system to ensure those who overstay their visas are quickly removed”, Trump warned.
Clinton attacks came during a hard week for her campaign, as the release of new emails from her time as secretary of state revived criticism of her decision to use a private address and server rather than a government one.
That’s led to Utah being seen nationally as no longer a sure thing for the GOP.
Donald Trump’s campaign manager said Sunday he will soon be courting black voters more directly, scheduling events in front of predominantly African-American audiences.
“This is a new situation for Utah to be in”, said Chris Karpowitz, co-director of BYU’s Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy.
Bottom line: Your guess is as good as ours.
Trump has recently been trying to win over the Hispanic and African-American vote, but polls show he’s not doing well with minorities.
“General cluelessness about racial dynamics will diminish any possible black support that comes from Trump’s emphasis on job creation”, Hochschild said in an email. “It’s gonna remain very strong”, he said. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has gone after Trump’s statements against Muslims. Trump wouldn’t say later in the week, in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Lee called members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “a people who were ordered exterminated by the governor of Missouri in 1838”. However, a Pew survey previous year found 50 percent of Americans believe immigrants make the economy worse compared to 28 percent who believe they make it better. Among Clinton voters, 92 percent said Donald Trump is risky, 85 percent said he is insane, and 77 percent said he is corrupt.
Finally, YouGov found that the voters who said both candidates are evil were more likely to be between the ages of 18 and 34 or undecided/third party voters. According to a new, national poll released August 28th by “Morning Consult”, Clinton leads Trump 43% to 40%. They insisted that Trump has been “consistent” on his immigration policy.
We bet there’s something else they think they deserve, too … it starts with a “press” and ends with a “conference”.
On Thursday afternoon, Clinton gave a forceful speech in Nevada lacing together Trump’s controversial remarks on race and all but calling him an unrepentant racist (though she stopped short of using the “r” word): “Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters”.

Clinton, meanwhile, kept up her verbal assault on Trump’s campaign, asserting in an MSNBC interview Friday that it is built on “prejudice and paranoia” and caters to a radical fringe of the Republican Party.
