African-American women have been a supportive voting bloc for Clinton for decades and the former secretary of state said that she “would not be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States were it not for black women”.

But his strategy doesn’t require moving huge segments of the electorate.
At a campaign rally on Friday night, Trump said Clinton’s Secret Service detail should have their guns taken away to “see what happens to her”.
The former officials say Trump’s overseas ties could affect the foreign policy Trump might pursue as president and seem to have “already influenced the policy positions he has taken as a candidate”.
Chris Christie said: “after the president presented his birth certificate, Donald has said he was born in the United States, and that’s the end of the issue”.
But saying Trump’s admission of the error was behind him – as two sitting governors and several other Trump supporters did across the Sunday talks shows- doesn’t necessarily make it true.
In Kyrgyzstan (KEER’-gih-stan) on Saturday, Putin took note of all that talk and said: “I want to hope that this is connected with the growing influence and significance of Russian Federation”. He offered no apology for pushing the falsehood for years and instead said the rumors originated with Clinton, another inaccurate claim.
“What I admire most in vice presidents is when they’re able to take the vision of the president and champion that vision on Capitol Hill”, Pence said.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who’s heading up Trump’s transition team and has long said Obama was born in the US, insisted on CNN that “the birther issue is a done issue”.
Clinton’s strategy has echoes of the approach Obama used to define Mitt Romney in 2012.
It was the second time since last December that the Trump campaign had released public documentation about Trump’s health. The surrogates also insisted that a confidant of Hillary Clinton’s started peddling the theory that Obama was born in Kenya, that Trump has been a victim of unfair media coverage over the issue and that Americans don’t care about the issue, anyway.
Clinton doesn’t have that same reservoir of goodwill and her standing with voters is as shaky as Trump’s, though her chief weakness is trustworthiness. “While the Green Party believes in more government control and faster change, they look at the Libertarian Party’s effect on Republican voters and wonder, ‘Well, why can’t we do that?'”
“Knock the hell out of ’em”, Trump told “Fox and Friends” in a phone interview Monday morning. Earlier, the Democratic presidential candidate, 68- year-old Hillary Clinton released her updated medical record after a bout of pneumonia, with her doctor saying she is “fit to serve” as US President.

Whit Ayers, a Republican pollster who worked for Florida Sen. “We are pleased to disclose all of the test results which show that Trump is in excellent health and has the stamina to endure uninterrupted the rigours of a punishing and unprecedented campaign and more importantly, the singularly demanding job of President of the U.S.”, the campaign said.
