“From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia”.

Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young – and largely minority – volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments and has been claiming that the Democrats have taken minority voters’ support for granted. “He may have new people to put new words in his mouth, but we know where he stands”. But look at the policies Trump has proposed.
At a rally in Reno, Nevada, Democrat Clinton took aim at Trump and what is called the “alt-right”.
In a video published on Thursday, the Clinton campaign attempt to link Trump to the KKK. Trump holds an 11-point advantage among white voters, while Clinton holds a 62-point lead lead among non-white voters, the poll suggests. “They only dropped him under pressure”. Some 39 percent of likely voters supported Clinton in the four-way poll, compared with 36 percent for Trump, 7 percent for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 3 percent for Green Party nominee Jill Stein. “He’s brought it into his campaign”.
Executive Producer Stephen Bannon poses at the premiere of “Sweetwater” during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. “Don’t be fooled” by Trumps efforts to rebrand, she told voters at a speech in Reno, saying the country faced a “moment of reckoning”.
But not everyone outside Trump Tower was buying his message.
The schedules took on new importance this week after the AP analyzed the ones released so far and found that more than half the people outside the government who met or spoke by telephone with Clinton during the first half of her time as secretary of state had given money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation. It was a reference to the selection in May of William Johnson, head of the American Freedom Party, as a delegate for the Republican presidential primary in the state. “Hoist it high and proud: The confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage”. Trump’s presidential run – and his choice for a new campaign CEO, and now Clinton’s speech – are shining a spotlight on an underbelly of US politics. “The latest shake-up was created to – quote – ‘Let Trump be Trump.’ To do that, he hired Stephen Bannon”.
Clinton also vigorously defended her family’s foundation and declared she’s confident there will be no further major accusations involving the foundation, her emails or anything else that could undermine her chances of defeating Trump in November.
“When asked in a nationally televised interview whether he would disavow the support of David Duke …”
“Through it all, he has continued pushing discredited conspiracy theories with racist undertones”, she said.
The speech, in Reno, Nev., used Trump’s connections to outlets like Breitbart, InfoWars and the National Enquirer to portray him as a unsafe man living in a “paranoid fever dream”.
“Donald Trump has shown us who he is, and we ought to believe him”. She added that Bannon has a great relationship with his ex-wife and kids. “‘There’s still more work to do, ‘ he said”. She’s praised former Republican presidential candidates John McCain and Bob Dole, and former President George W. Bush, for taking decisive steps to counter racism and anti-Muslim sentiment.
She described Rubio as a leader of the bipartisan Senate “Gang of Eight” that favored a pathway to citizenship for some immigrants now in the country illegally.

In a speech largely aimed at moderate Republicans, Hillary Clinton declared that the “alt-right” running through Donald Trump’s campaign “is not conservatism as we have known it” and “is not Republicanism as we have known it”.
