Geer said when Vanderbilt performed its poll during the 2012 presidential race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the former MA governor had a 7-point lead on the Democrat. “I’m not going to be responding”, Clinton said.

In between, Trump said he could negotiate with North Korea’s leader.

“I am not afraid of Donald Trump”, she wrote. “It was just dumb, and stupid, and insensitive, and if I offended anyone, I apologize”.

It follows days of Democratic Party upheaval at a time when Mr Trump is moving to consolidate Republicans around him by naming prospective Supreme Court nominees embraced by conservatives, and as new polls suggest that if the general election were held today, Mr Trump could edge out Mrs Clinton.

Voters trust Trump to do a better job on the top two. Clinton can match Trump’s high profile, having spent almost three decades in national politics, and is unlikely to be totally drowned out by the real estate mogul.

After a newspaper article detailing his behavior with women, Trump kept the story alive by repeatedly bashing the reporters and defending his actions. He has attacked Clinton, accusing her of playing the “women card” and being an “enabler” of her husband’s infidelities. “I know that’s exactly what he’s fishing for, and I’m not going to be responding”, she said.

Appearing Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity”, Trump and host Sean Hannity discussed alleged sexual misconduct by Bill Clinton against Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey.

“In one case, it’s about exposure”.

Clinton explained that she will get different results because the rest of the GOP field “didn’t fundamentally disagree” with the mogul on issues like keeping the minimum wage low or abortion, and she’s not trying to curry favor with the same pool of voters.

Clinton called what transpired at the Nevada convention “disturbing” but said she was confident that the party would find a way to unite.
