The Takeaway: As Clinton and Trump face off in the final presidential debate, voter support remains strong for Clinton and her chances of victory remain high.

As Trump has fallen behind Clinton in battleground state polling, he has openly suggested that the media, Clinton campaign and Democratic Party are colluding to “rig” the election. In addition to Sanders, First Lady Michelle Obama will speak in Phoenix as well as Chelsea Clinton.

Jonathan Duncan said he isn’t thinking of himself as a white male, but instead of minorities, oppressed peoples and women in his choice for president.

During his roughly half-hour long speech, anti-Clinton proponents grouped closer to the SUB – many of them former Sanders supporters – rebuked some of his comments as embracing the political leanings that he spent his candidacy denouncing.

Although Sanders is now acting as a surrogate for Clinton, it appears this hasn’t been enough to sway many of his ardent supporters.

Despite that message, the man who ran against Clinton in the Democratic primary this spring highlighted his belief that Trump is not fit for office.

Speaking to Now This producer Armand Aviram, Sanders pointed to the fact that the short term goal is to defeat Donald Trump, “who, in my view, would be a disaster for this country”.

Sanders referred to past visits to Arizona and conversations he had with young people in Phoenix of fears their parents would be deported.

Linda Webb, a former Sanders volunteer, said she admires Sanders for sticking by his promise to support the party’s nominee. “We all understand that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of us”.

Trump says all of the allegations are “lies”.

“At the end of the day, I don’t want to waste my vote”, Hassel said.

“I just talked to the Gov and his Political Dir. And I am going to do everything I can to make that happen”.

“Always, think big not small”, Sanders shouted to the uproar of the crowd before leaving the stage.

“Bernie Sanders he said you have bad judgment”.

Sanders congratulated the 13 million Americans who voted for him in the primaries and helped him build the most progressive democratic platform in history that included a fifteen dollar minimum wage in order to fight income inequality.

As per RealClearPolitics, which keeps track of all major polls, Clinton leads Trump by 5.5 percentage points in an average of these polls. This was noteworthy, she said, because in the past, she’s only ever seen one student vote absentee in East Lansing. When Bernie said in a debate that he was against fracking period, Clinton said “by the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place”. Sanders (I-Vt.) take the primary in Michigan, Wicks said. “I’ve never been a fan of Hillary”, he said. In addition to the radical scholarly articles she had put out at this time, she also began to expand medical facilities to make healthcare more accessible to Arkansas’s poorest people without raising the fees of doctors.
