Communications director Jennifer Palmieri said Wednesday that her top concern before Monday’s debate at Hofstra University is whether the two are held to the same standards.
“My heart aches watching Donald Trump day after day pouring his heart out telling the American people what he wants to do to save the nation”. “As of right now, we haven’t seen real specifics”.
The comments came after he praised Clinton for her laundry list of political experience – and blasted Donald Trump as temperamentally unfit to execute the highest office of the land.
However, the latest poll shows that she now has a five-point lead nationally, gaining the support of 50% of likely voters, compared with 45% for Trump.
“I’m the only candidate in this race who’s been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield”, Clinton, a former secretary of state, told reporters.
“I know how to do this”, said Clinton.
Clinton, who has participated in more debates than any presidential candidate in recent history, faces a new challenge with Trump.
Clinton and Trump maintain large advantages in North Carolina with key constituencies – Clinton receives the support of 98% of black voters, while Trump is backed by 65% of white voters.
That’s what 33% say about the press’ handling of Hillary Clinton now, and what 31% said about coverage of Barack Obama in 2008, according to nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Obama and his aides believed that concentrating on the final months would be most helpful for bolstering voter turnout while keeping the president clear of party primaries. “When I hear her talking about what she is planning to do, why hasn’t she done it for the last 30 years?” Additionally, just under half said that both Clinton and Trump had not provided enough medical information.
