Trump is to lay out a major military rebuilding proposal at an 11 a.m. “They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS”, he told North Carolina voters.

“They have, as Matt Olsen pointed out, said they hoped that Allah delivers America to Trump”.

“That is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as our commander in chief”, said Clinton.

Clinton suggested she agreed with Democrats who say she is being held to a different standard in the White House race.

Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communications director, shot back at Trump in a statement that likened him to a “schoolyard bully who can’t rely on facts or issues”.

The event brought together the meticulously prepared Clinton and Trump, a NY businessman whose brash, freewheeling style has allowed him to dominate the headlines for months.

Clinton did not directly state that the Russians are trying to tip the election toward Trump, but instead invoked an old saying from Arkansas to answer the question. She reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator. In July, Trump encouraging Russian Federation to find and release the deleted emails from the private server Clinton maintained at the State Department.

Still, Clinton indicated later in the day that she does not want the final weeks to be exclusively focused on Trump, unveiling plans for a series of policy speeches aimed at promoting a positive message.

It would be paid for by lifting congressionally mandated spending caps and launching a new round of budget reforms to save money.

As a newcomer to politics, Trump has used colorful language in the past to describe fervent support for him.

The two candidates have almost identical unfavorable ratings, with 59 percent of registered voters seeing Clinton unfavorably versus 60 percent for Trump.

Even before promising a huge boost in military spending, Trump’s plans to cut taxes, expand infrastructure spending and leave untouched entitlement programs such as Social Security already threaten to add trillions of dollars to the federal deficit.
