“And Hillary Clinton is steady and she is true”.

Clinton’s first comments about her health condition came in a CNN interview late Monday, a day after a dizzy spell caught on video forced the Democratic nominee to disclose her illness and cancel a West Coast campaign trip.
The Republican nominee has gotten plenty of attention for his trash-talking and bare-knuckle style.
Pressure continued to mount on Mr Trump to disclose his tax returns, a prerequisite for a candidate running for the U.S. presidency in the modern era. It’s a strategy that muddies stark differences between Trump and his rivals, and helps neutralize political vulnerabilities.
The Clinton campaign last week blamed a pair of coughing fits on allergies.
She was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial event in NY on Sunday and was seen stumbling limp-legged into a Secret Service vehicle.
At a rally on Monday, he said he was “shocked and alarmed” to hear Mrs Clinton “attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, incredible people”. Her campaign argues that Trump will struggle to connect with such voters if he’s viewed as fostering white supremacists. “I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely”. Donald Trump has fueled some of those accusations, with the GOP nominee suggesting she “lacks the mental and physical stamina” to be president.
“I am 20 years younger than Hillary Clinton and there is no single day when I outpaced her ever in my life”, said Neera Tanden, a former Clinton policy aide and president of the liberal Center for American Progress. Pennsylvania’s working-class voters are seen as pivotal to winning there, a point Obama emphasized at his rally Tuesday as he pointedly criticized Trump.
“Hillary Clinton is steady and she is true”, Obama told a group of cheering Democrats at an outdoor rally.
“I still think that we are likely to win, but I think anyone who’s not concerned about a bigoted, KKK-endorsed sociopath being this close right now in the polls is not living in reality”, Regunberg said of Trump.
Obama reserved part of his speech to “vent” about the media, arguing that news organizations have treated Clinton unfairly and applied what he described as a false equivalence when covering the campaigns’ troubles. People who look just like regular people, you, me, your neighbour, your grandmother. Meanwhile, objective analyses of Trump’s campaign have documented its appeal to those Americans who feel most threatened by people who don’t look, talk, or worship like them.
Obama’s visit and the flurry of other high-profile campaigners “is very much part of a program to ensure that Pennsylvania stays in the Democratic column, because no matter whatever happens in those three other states, without Pennsylvania, Trump just has a very hard path to 270”.
He then flew to New York City for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser at the home of hedge-fund founder Jim Chanos.
November’s vote is also a high-stakes election for the 44th president, who could see much of his legacy, from climate deals to health care, eroded by a Republican-run White House.

But the NY real estate mogul has made inroads in the counties surrounding Philadelphia since Clinton posted a strong lead there earlier this summer, said G. Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin & Marshall College. The president said Republicans are so disorganized and fragmented they can’t even agree on the “cockamamie legislation” they want to pass.
