Ahead of Trump’s visit, protesters conveyed a brief press conference outside of Flint’s water plant, where many expressed dismay at what they described as the nominee’s attempt to use the city’s public health crisis as a “campaign prop”.

“I’m totally afraid. Donald Trump definitely has the chance to win”.
Mr. Obama, whose 50 per cent job approval rating could help improve the climate for the Democratic ticket in the November 8 election, rallied party faithful against Mr. Trump at an outdoor event in Philadelphia. “When the numbers come in, I’ll be releasing very specific numbers”, he said.
Asheville’s Citizen-Times newspaper said four people were arrested at the rally.
On Sunday, September 11 at the 9/11 Memorial event, she became overheated and dehydrated and as a result felt dizzy.
The 68-year-old was then sidelined from the campaign trail by a bout of pneumonia that has raised broader questions about her health. Her staff has said it erred in not disclosing sooner her diagnosis, which came on Friday, two days before she abruptly left an event in NY and drew questions about her health. David Axelrod, a former top adviser to Obama, wrote on Twitter.
Clinton plans to return to the campaign trail on Thursday, her campaign said in an e-mail.
Other Obama alumni sounded less concerned that the incident would affect the outcome of the race.
Obama insisted that Clinton had “been subjected to more scrutiny and … more unfair criticism than anybody out here”, while accusing the media of giving her Republican opponent a pass. “I think that’s most of America, but otherwise he’s in incredibly good health”.
“An occasional gaffe or two is unavoidable in any campaign, no matter how disciplined or well-run”, he said. “The coverage of this has been remarkably stupid”.
Former subordinates who are fiercely loyal to Clinton said there are plenty of instances in which she drove herself remarkably hard as first lady from 1993-2001, as a USA senator from 2001-2009 and as U.S. secretary of state from 2009-2013.
The race there could come down to whether the coalition of voters that helped carry Obama to victory almost eight years ago-young people, Hispanics and African Americans-turns out in force.
“She’s got people that sit in cubicles writing policy all day”, Trump told Time magazine in June. “I don’t think so, I don’t think so”. She’s still taking all the same medications, Bardack said, with more specificity about the antihistamine the candidate is taking.
Mr Merrill said the Democratic nominee spent Tuesday reading briefing material, calling aides and watching President Barack Obama campaign on her behalf in Philadelphia. “I understand, we’re a young country, we are a restless country”. Over the next few days, Clinton’s congestion worsened and she developed a cough. He has said he’ll just step away from his company and let his kids run it while he’s president, which doesn’t even begin to address the conflicts of interest at work.
“He’d be killing Donald Trump right now”, he said.
In the meantime, her husband Bill takes over for her in California, attending a fundraiser in Los Angeles while his wife rests at their home in Chappaqua, New York per her doctor’s orders. “Other than that she’d be killing”. Those numbers were virtually unchanged from the letter that the Clinton campaign released last July.

In a fiery speech, Obama said Trump is not fit to be the president of the United States. “I just could not live with these kids crying about missing Elmo'”.
