ABC News’ David Muir asked Clinton on Monday if she would accept Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s invitation to visit, as Republican rival Donald Trump did last week.

Clinton was arriving in OH and IL aboard a new blue-and-white Boeing 737 campaign plane emblazoned with her slogan, “Stronger Together”.
A look at the many topics discussed by both the nominees on their Labor Day jaunts around OH and IL. The issue has caused a lot of anger among Wallace’s fellow colleagues and journalists as it’s been reported that Trump made 71 incorrect, misleading or questionable statements in a speech back in March of this year.
Trump told the group that the country, in terms of jobs, is “going to hell”. “To return home and apply for re-entry”. As he told reporters later: “They are taking our jobs like Grant took Richmond”.
She told reporters, “We are going to have to take those threats and attacks seriously”. She expressed alarm “about the credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections” through hacking, saying, “We’ve never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process”. 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.
“The candidates are well-defined, the ads have been running for months, and TVs have been saturated with talking heads”, she added.
Her visit came as polls showed the race was tightening, an average done by Real Clear Politics had her leading Donald Trump by 4 points, down from 7 just a month ago. He later said he was being sarcastic.
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton today said his Republican rival Donald Trump has created an “embarrassing worldwide incident” by visiting Mexico and this proves that he is temperamentally unfit to be America’s commander-in-chief.
Clinton moved on several fronts Monday to confront nagging doubts about her candidacy, despite her comfortable lead in many swing-state polls.
The Republican nominee was rumored to be considering skipping at least one of the debates, as he complained about the events running up against the National Football League and said certain moderators would be “unacceptable”.
On the plane, Trump also told reporters that, “as of this moment”, he planned to attend all three debates, and that only a “natural disaster” could make him change his mind.
Meeting with reporters, Trump appeared to pivot away from his hard-line position on immigration, saying, “I’m all about jobs now”.
“In a two-person debate; it’s not going to work to say, ‘I’ll take care of this; I know more than the generals, believe me, ‘” said former Pennsylvania governor and longtime Clinton friend Ed Rendell. He even got into a Twitter war with the President of Mexico and then he delivered his most hate-filled hard lined speech yet, doubling down on his absurd plans to send a deportation force to round up 16 million people to deport them. The former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump confidante, told CNN he had left “a very big opening for what will happen with the people that remain here in the United States after the criminals are removed and after the border is secure”.
While speaking to the American Legion, a veterans’ organization, last month, Clinton said she would treat cyber attacks “just like any other attack” and would “be ready with serious political, economic and military responses”. “She doesn’t have a clue”.

“She doesn’t have the energy to bring ’em back”. “You need energy, man. And she didn’t have the energy to go to Mexico”.
