“This is Donald Trump saying, ‘Hey, there’s another way to deal here.’ Again, this goes back to this question of what kind of a human being are we talking about?”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016, in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Trump has eschewed the kind of mock debate setups candidates traditionally use to get ready for the high-pressure events and hasn’t tapped anyone to play Clinton in his prep sessions. On Friday, he said that Obama was born in the United States and falsely blamed Hillary Clinton for starting the “birther” conspiracy he clung to for years. Trump said 40-year-old Terence Crutcher, who was killed in Friday’s Tulsa, Oklahoma, shooting, “looked like he did everything you’re supposed to do”. “Even if you are totally opposed to Donald Trump, you may still have some questions about me”.
Even as she referred to the deaths as “two very upsetting incidents”, Clinton also urged the public against channeling their anger by targeting police officers as she pointed to the protests that unfolded Tuesday night. “You should be held to the same standard on knowledge, what kind of plans you have, your ability to explain your plans”, Palmieri said to reporters on Clinton’s campaign plane traveling to Orlando.
Donald Trump’s support isn’t growing.
The Democratic nominee is also slightly more trusted to handle immigration, 42 percent to 38 percent.
Americans are more likely to trust Clinton than Trump as the candidate who can unite the country, 35 percent to 24 percent. This could complicate Trump’s ongoing efforts to win the support of African-American voters.
“I’m sure there will be these kinds of volleys, we’ll hear more about, but the fact of the matter is Trump’s Foundation made donations to not-for-profit, 501 (c) 3s – that’s what foundations do”.
Trump, meanwhile, is attempting to chip into Clinton’s commanding lead among African-American voters overall while also appealing to white voters who tend to support the GOP but have been turned off by his rhetoric.
“If you are intelligent, intellectual, you are an intellectual negro, if you are a dancing and sliding and gliding n****er, I mean negro”, King said.
But when talking about his former primary opponent, the Vermont senator primarily compared Clinton to Trump or listed ways in which she agrees with his own signature policy proposals on college affordability and health care.
King, who is black, said the word as he talked about black people trying to achieve success by emulating white people, but still remaining “negros”.
Clinton has a big edge over Trump on who would do a better job handling the US image overseas, 47 percent to 27 percent.

Clinton’s campaign said she would “make the case for building an inclusive economy that welcomes people with disabilities, values their work, rewards them fairly, and treats them with respect”. But if you’re rich, you are a rich negro.
