The advice is contained in a memo – titled ” “Deplorable” Comment Talking Points” – sent out Saturday afternoon to Clinton surrogates preparing for television interviews or other appearances in support of the former secretary of state.

Addressing the issue head-on at a press conference on Thursday morning in NY – which Trump’s team have said is her first in 278 days – Ms Clinton suggested she was sanguine about it.
Throughout his White House campaign, Trump has repeatedly defied the conventional rules of politics, winning his party’s nomination despite a history of corporate bankruptcies and lawsuits that would have sunk a more traditional candidate.
Clinton had sharp words for Trump, describing him as “dead wrong” for saying that his tax returns were not the concern of everyday Americans, despite every major presidential nominee since Richard Nixon releasing their taxes before the election. “I don’t want them to feel as though they can be getting more recruits because of our politics”.
Asked to respond to a criticism from Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus that she was too serious and didn’t smile enough at Thursday night’s forum – a remark many liberals criticized as sexist – she said that these were “serious issues” that warranted serious responses, and said she would leave the questions about gender to journalists and campaign historians. Since Clinton claims that her experience is what makes her ready “on day one”, it’s not unreasonable to wonder why she still supposedly didn’t understand how classified documents worked; or why she engaged in actions that probably allowed foreign actors to access top secret information; or why she attempted to obstruct the investigation into those emails.
Clinton continues to do well in the Northeast and West but Trump remains competitive with her in the Midwest and South. It was about Donald Trump’s reaction.
“On paper, shouldn’t this race have been easier?” “She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody, with 20,000 people watching, right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldn’t be prosecuted”, Mr Trump said.
“And by the way, with Iran, when they circle our lovely destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people and that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water. OK?”
The Republican also renewed his praise for Putin and his disdain for President Barack Obama, arguing that “it’s a very different system and I don’t happen to like the system, but certainly, in that system, he’s been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”. “I find it frustrating, but it’s just part of the landscape that we live in and we just keep forging ahead”.
While Clinton is taking heat for her comment, Trump’s brand is controversy.
Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that President Barack Obama called her when negotiators had reached a deal on Iran’s nuclear program. “I don’t know anyone who hasn’t”. Speaking in Laos, Obama offered some optimism that in the end American voters would see through the Trump facade.
Graham dropped out of the presidential race in December and announced in May that he wouldn’t vote for either Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “How can she be President of our country when she has such contempt and disdain for so many great Americans?”

“No conversation about our national security would be complete unless we acknowledged that the nominee on the other side promises to do things that will make us less safe”, Clinton told reporters.
