Donald Trump’s campaign is pouncing on Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark at a fundraising event over the weekend, launching a new ad blasting the Democratic nominee’s comment and accusing her of “viciously demonizing hard-working people”.

Clinton holds a 46 per cent to 41 per cent edge over Trump among likely voters, followed by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at nine per cent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at two per cent, The Washington Post-ABC News said in its latest poll.
“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of incredible, hard-working people”.
The new Trump ad will run throughout the week on broadcast and cable TV beginning Monday, backed by a $2 million ad buy in battleground states Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida, according to the campaign.
And the Washington Post tried to minimize the comment’s effect by saying that while Romney had alienated his “actual supporters”, including poor whites on welfare who might vote Republican, Clinton was just speaking a popular truth to power.
Any violation of the order could result in termination, CNN said, citing unnamed Trump campaign sources.
She is pledging to “fight alongside the LGBT community”, and says Trump will not support them.
Trump said that instead of having a moderator, “let Hillary and I sit there and just debate, because I think the system is being rigged”. There are untold numbers of Trump supporters who are racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, etcetera etcetera, ad infinitum, but you don’t go after them. She has since apologies for being “grossly generalistic”.
“But Hillary’s comments in full did make clear there are a lot of Trump supporters who have concerns about the economy and other issues that we will definitely need to be responsive to if we get the opportunity to govern”, Kaine said.
The Republican nominee told “Fox and Friends” that he had a physical examination last week.
“Some patients have very little difficulties with activities of daily living and are only mildly hampered by it while others may require hospitalization and have to reduce their activities”, he said, adding that pneumonia was the 8th leading cause of death in the United States.
“I would meet these shattered lives of people where they were broken, but I saw so many of them strengthen and show such resilience”. It’s pathetic and her supporters will cringe as they watch her drop in the polls from the fallout.
Clinton left after just 90 minutes of the ceremony at Ground Zero to mark the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. She later said she regretted using the word “half”.
Hillary Clinton at Westchester Country Airport unleashed a torrent of attacks against Donald Trump’s preparedness to be commander-in-chief Thursday morning, hours after an NBC forum exposed her opponent to criticism on multiple fronts.
But while it may be the biggest gaffe of her campaign, the mainstream media has spent most of the weekend arguing away Clinton’s apparent prejudice, as though they are her crisis communications team – a courtesy they didn’t extend to Mitt Romney in 2012, when he told a group of his own donors that “47 percent” of the population were a bunch of freeloaders.

A dramatic video recorded by a bystander showed the Democratic candidate’s knees buckling as she stepped off a kerb into a waiting van. If Clinton is facing something more serious than a spell of pneumonia, it will become obvious soon enough.
