Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign released a new television ad entitled, “Sacrifice”, showing military veterans watching some of the NY businessman’s more provocative statements. The New York billionaire has a 15-point lead over Clinton, a former USA secretary of state, with 52 percent of people over the age of 65 choosing Trump, compared to 37 percent choosing Clinton. If the GOP nominee loses the Keystone State (where he trails by almost 7 points), he could win Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada and Arizona and STILL lose 272-265 in the electoral college.
The conflicting messages come as the candidates prepare to court voters in Southern states with significant veteran populations.

Trump said that he leading in several key states.
Speaking to reporters at length – something she has avoided for months – Mrs Clinton also expressed alarm over reports of Russia’s suspected interference in the United States elections by hacking into voter registers. The emails, later revealed by WikiLeaks, showed some DNC officials favoring Clinton over her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders – who has since endorsed Clinton for president.
