“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of wonderful, hardworking people”. “I don’t choke. She chokes”.

While Trump has often complained that US forces are not large enough or well-equipped, he’s also said that he’d save money by cutting waste and ensuring that contractors aren’t getting sweetheart deals due to their connections or lobbying efforts.
Her remarks Friday night at a fundraising event in NY drew sharp criticism from the Republican nominee and his running mate, Mike Pence, who said it revealed her disdain for the American people.
“Let me just tell you about choking”, Trump fumed to ABC. “So I am proud of the people who are supporting me”.
“And he has lifted them up”, Clinton continued.
Trump plans to use $20 billion of existing federal dollars to establish a block grant for the 11 million school age kids living in poverty.
And asked Thursday whether she believes she is being held to a different standard than Trump, Clinton – who on Wednesday asked that she be “judged on the totality of my record” – responded that it was a “fair question”.
While Labor Day has traditionally been the kickoff to the fall campaign, both Clinton and Trump have been locked in an intense back-and-forth throughout the summer.
The other basket of Mr Trump’s supporters constituted individuals desperate for change who felt let down by the government and the economy, Mrs Clinton added. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end.
“Those are people we have to understand and empathise with, as well”.
Clinton and Trump are tied with 47 percent support each among likely voters in the state of Florida, according to the Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released Thursday.
And while Clinton’s super PACs have steadily raised checks of unlimited size and deployed their substantial resources on swing-state television, Trump’s are still sputtering, failing to reel in large checks and ceding television airwaves for much of the summer to Clinton allies. Some followers sometimes refer to themselves as “Europeanists” or “white nationalists”, rejecting the labels of racist and white supremacist.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are making competing Labor Day pitches in OH, setting the stage for a critical month in their testy presidential campaign. Whites who do not hold college degrees support Trump by an nearly 3-to-1 margin (68% to 24%) while whites who do have college degrees split 49% for Clinton to 36% for Trump and 11% for Johnson.
Both Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump had declined to get a plane big enough to fit traveling reporters for much of the campaign, instead opting to fly private and on their own.
Speaking to reporters on her new campaign plane, she took credit for Trump’s overture to the news media.
Comments about voters – especially at private fundraisers – have tripped up presidential hopefuls in the past.
Among Trump’s comments was his extensive praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin – Trump even went as far as to say he was a better leader than Barack Obama. But in Iowa, Democratic hopes to unseat popular Republican Sen. Obama said that small-town voters “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations”.
Trump and his supporters quickly pounced on the remark, arguing that it revealed Clinton as disconnected from struggling Americans.
