“I think the Clinton campaign recognizes that they might have a little bit of a problem”, Paduchik said. Donald Trump tweeted about it Saturday morning.
During her remarks, she talked about the year’s “volatile political environment” and said that to be “grossly generalistic”, Trump’s supporters could be put into two categories.
“She was blaming Matt Lauer”, Trump said of Clinton. So is the press going to cover this story in the right [context], or are they going to hold Hillary to a different standard again?
He added that millions of Americans support the Republican nominee because, “they are sick of corrupt career politicians like Hillary Clinton”.
Probably not the critiques – or hashtag – NBC’s Matt Lauer was expecting after moderating Wednesday night’s Commander-in-Chief forum with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. He repeatedly criticized the decision not to prosecute her over her email scandal, and also her record as secretary of state.
When North Korea performed its fifth nuclear test, taunting the global community, Trump blamed Clinton’s policies as secretary of state.
Less than 24 hours after she made the comments at a private New York City fundraiser, Clinton said in a statement, “last night I was “grossly generalistic” and that’s never a good idea. It’s like incredible”, he said. ‘Unfortunately there are people like that. “And he has lifted them up”, Clinton said. Trump has, of course, called for the deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US.
Clinton said Trump had given voice to hateful rhetoric through his behaviour as a candidate for the White House in the November 8 election.
Ms. Harrison is among the more than 2,000 attendees that turned out for the 11th annual Values Voters Summit here in Washington, where there is a mix of voters who have been supporting Mr. Trump since early on in the GOP presidential race and some that are still torn over his candidacy.
Trump went on to praise Putin’s leadership and pooh-pooh concerns about Putin’s authoritarianism: “I mean, you can say, oh, isn’t that a bad thing-the man has very strong control over a country”. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end.
“We’re moving to the part of the election process where there’s a lot less persuasion of new voters and more persuasion of the people who like you to turn out and work to elect you”, he added.
It could prove a stumble for a seasoned – and polarizing – politician who wants to lead a country that includes many who have embraced Trump’s exhortations to “lock her up”. Some followers sometimes refer to themselves as “Europeanists” or “white nationalists”, rejecting the labels of racist and white supremacist.
Both vice presidential candidates, Democratic Sen. Clinton’s remark just shows that the smug nature of American liberalism hasn’t changed.
Clinton, who at the time was a USA senator representing NY, will attend the ceremony Sunday at Ground Zero “to pay her respects”, a campaign aide said. As FactCheck.org noted at the time, many people who don’t pay federal income tax are retirees, who tend to tilt Republican. In a nod to the LGBT-focused event, Clinton also made a tongue-and-cheek reference to ” conversion therapy” – but not in the context of “converting” LGBT individuals to heterosexuality, which has been slammed as nonsense by the country’s leading professional medical and psychological organizations. “At the very least, if you know anybody who’s even thinking of voting for Trump, stage an intervention”.

Trump concluded his brief remarks speaking to Schlafly, saying, “we will never, ever let you down”.
