As CNN writes, Trump’s only public medical record – a letter written by his physician – has been under scrutiny following a report the doctor took only five minutes to write it. Clinton recently said charges she is physically unfit for the White House are part of a “wacky strategy” by Trump.

Clinton, a former secretary of state, has led real estate developer Trump in the poll since Democrats and Republicans ended their national conventions and formally nominated their presidential candidates in July. The statement seemed to suggest that immigrants would be able to attain legal status without leaving the country, a position that conservatives call amnesty – and that Pence said was not an option.
Monmouth surveyed 802 registered voters by telephone between August 25 and 28.
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana, Trump’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket, would not affirm that their administration would expel the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the country illegally, a campaign-defining stance that helped Trump vanquish opponents in the primary race.
The immigration policy speech was initially set for last Thursday in Colorado, but it was pushed back as Trump and his team wrestled over the details of what he would propose.
Host Jake Tapper told Pence that “the one issue that you didn’t really address is whether or not the 11 or 12 million undocumented immigrants will be removed by a deportation force, as you heard Mr. Trump say in that clip from November of previous year”.
Burns on Monday also stirred the pot of racial politics when he tweeted a cartoon of Hillary Clinton in black face. Angelique Cannon-Harris is now Clinton’s deputy national finance director for the mid-Atlantic region, and will keep doing her job for the campaign. “It’s more of the same, but worse”, a narrator says.
Republican rivals scoffed at the sheer unfeasibility of his proposal – leading Trump to cite the model of the 1954 “Operation Wetback” under President Dwight Eisenhower, which rounded up thousands of undocumented immigrants from US fields and ranches, bused them to detention centers, and sent them back to Mexico, first by airlift, and then by cargo boat – a journey that was widely denounced as inhumane. But he made it clear on Sunday he thinks he can do much more. Speaking to “Fox News Sunday”, Johnson said: “You know how insane this election cycle is. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President”. “You know that, right?”

Now with less than three months before the election, Trump faces a hard path to the White House because of his narrow appeal, and his sky-high disapproval ratings among minorities. He is at 8% in the latest average of polls from RealClearPolitics.
