Donald Trump gave the public a peek into how he plans to take on Hillary Clinton when they face off in the first presidential debate next week, promising to treat his opponent with respect – if she does the same. What does that mean? It is possible for a candidate to win the national popular vote, but not win the Electoral College. Sometimes that involved direct kinetic action, sometimes that involved working with allies and partners, sometimes that involved capture. “I have sat at that table in the Situation Room”. “When I ran against John McCain, we had deep differences, but I couldn’t say that he was not qualified to be President”, he said.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have continued with a campaign-long tradition of responding to acts of terror in drastically different ways, following attacks this weekend in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota.

Clinton has called for an increase in the number of refugees the Obama administration now allows to seek asylum in the United States from war-torn countries like Syria.

“Politics can be discouraging”, she said.

Trump told a crowd at a rally in Colorado Springs Saturday night that “a bomb went off in New York” immediately following the explosion, before law enforcement commented officially on what had happened.

Clinton had seen a drop in national polls this week.

His surrogates spent precious time trying to move past Trump’s brazen media stunt Friday about where President Obama was born.

The GOP presidential nominee has proposed a temporary ban on non-U.S. Muslims, a proposal that’s gotten less attention recently amid the lull between attacks in the U.S. On Monday, Trump called for profiling individuals in a manner similar to Israel’s approach. “But what I said was exactly correct”.

The Democratic candidate accused Trump on Monday of aiding the Islamic State militant group in its recruiting process, citing comments from former U.S. intelligence director Michael Hayden that militants were using Trump’s rhetoric to attract potential fighters.

Trump said he believes there’s a foreign connection to the attack, though it was unclear how the Republican obtained that information.

The poll also showed 68 percent of voters had an unfavorable view of Trump in Tuesday’s poll. That would be the first time a Republican presidential candidate has won NY since Ronald Reagan carried the state in his 1984 landslide victory.

Mrs Clinton urged voters not to “get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear from the other side”. “We should work with our allies to keep us safe”, Clinton said.

The Clinton campaign is also going after Trump for suggesting she might be in danger if she wasn’t protected by armed Secret Service agents.
