Asked how she relaxed while recuperating at home in Chappaqua, New York, Clinton said that, no, she hadn’t binge-watched The Good Wife (she said she was “so sad” that the legal drama had ended).

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton arrives at a rally at University of North Carolina, in Greensboro, N.C., Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016.

Experts said that such comments may hurt Clinton, especially in the upcoming presidential debates that will start later September, when Trump will have a chance to paint her as an elitist who is way out of touch with the country’ s working class – the bulk of Trump’ s supporters.

“I’ll confess, I’ll never be the showman that my opponent is, and that’s okay with me. Just look at the show he put on Dr. Oz today”, she said.

Matched against only Trump, 48 per cent said they would vote for Clinton, with 43 per cent choosing the Republican nominee. “A plan that will make a real difference in people’s lives, not prejudice and paranoia”.
