Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump met with about two dozen Latino supporters in Nevada to discuss strategies for boosting Hispanic turnout in the swing state, part of his effort to make the case that his economic policies would be better for small minority-owned businesses than those of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump is criticizing rival Hillary Clinton for referring to black youth as “super predators” decades ago and calls the remark an insult. Clinton has since apologized.
Amid his ongoing appeal to black voters, Trump drew an online backlash Saturday for a tweet he sent in response to the shooting death of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade’s cousin, who was gunned down near the Chicago school where she had planned to register her children.
One year ago, he issued an immigration reform plan calling for an end to automatic citizenship for those born in the U.S., a right which some say is abused by undocumented migrants seeking American birthright for their children.
“Hillary Clinton has given us so much to talk about really in the email scandal and her policies overseas”. Ernst told reporters the day before the event.
He continued, “We are going to get rid of the criminals and it’s going to happen within one hour after I take office, we start. OK”. And Kaine says that Trump hasn’t done enough to distance himself from supporters with ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
But Trump was saddled with another inflammatory revelation Friday when court papers surfaced showing that an ex-wife of Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school almost a decade ago.
But rather than press Clinton on her fitness to endure the rigors of the presidency, the media and political pundits have chose to pounce on Trump and explore questions concerning his own physical fitness.
Pence defended Trump’s tweet about the Chicago shooting death of basketball star Dwyane Wade’s cousin, immediately linking that death to electoral concerns.
Joe Macaron, a policy analyst at Arab Center Washington DC, warns that “the Syrian opposition’s bet on a Hillary presidency might be a rerun of weighing its options in 2011 and 2012 on the expectation of a USA intervention under Obama”. And they did not bother to defend his initial response Saturday to the killing of a mother as she walked her baby on a Chicago street. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!’ he wrote.
Trump later followed up with a second tweet sending the family his condolences. “They are in my thoughts and prayers”. I’d say to both of them, back down.
Unnamed sources told The Washington Post that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were also present at the meeting, as were newly-hired campaign CEO Steve Bannon and former Fox News boss Roger Ailes. “I think that’s deeply offensive”, Pence said. Since clinching her party’s nomination in early June, Clinton has spent more than $77 million on television and radio advertising, largely targeting voters in battleground states, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker.
Clinton met Saturday for more than two hours with intelligence officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation office in White Plains, New York, for her first overview of the major threats facing the nation around the globe since becoming the Democratic nominee.

President Obama was expected to campaign for Hillary Clinton, but what no one expected was for the President to devote almost the entire month of October to campaigning for the Democratic nominee.
