In the must-win states of Florida and Ohio, Trump and Clinton are deadlocked in this week’s CNN/ORC poll, as well as several other surveys. “The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008”, Politico wrote, “At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama”.

The Republican nominee has appeared with the group before and has made its cause part of his platform.
Clinton and her allies brushed off the week’s new numbers as an expected development in what the Democratic candidate said was always going to be “a tight race”. Obama won 85 percent of the vote in Philadelphia in 2012, and Clinton has her sights set on coming as close as she can to his performance there while also outperforming Obama in the four suburban counties bordering the city.
Clinton has an advantage among minorities, women, people who make more than $75,000 a year, and those with moderate political leanings.
The effort marks an unusual moment of introspection for Clinton, who has long refused to engage in the kind of public self-examination that can help transform would-be heads of state into relatable figures.
Her vote for the Iraq war and decision to set up a private email server in her suburban NY home were both “a mistake”, she said at a national security forum hosted by NBC.
After Trump concluded his speech, his campaign sent out a news release with his remarks, highlighting his comments about Cuba and Venezuela – but misspelling the latter “Venezuala”.
“She won’t take responsibility for her central role in unleashing ISIS [Daesh] all over the world”, he added.
She also lamented that some voters view her as aloof.
“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons”, he said. “And neither do my friends”.
When respondents were asked their opinion of what they thought when they hear the economy has improved, 42 percent responded that maybe that’s the case for some, but ‘it’s not for people like me’.
Bernie Sanders is urging people turned off by their choices in the presidential election to turn out anyway, even if they think “everybody’s disgusting”. “I’ve said it’s a done issue for a long time, and Donald Trump has said it’s a done issue now”, Christie, a top Trump supporter and the chairman of his transition team, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union”.
Clinton gave a shorter address.
Ratings of her honesty have remained stubbornly low in polling – even among Democrats. Trump ranked only slightly lower at 31 percent. “Weird.” Those are just a number of examples, when he was running for president, where he was bringing up this issue. “She has not articulated a positive vision”.
As a presidential candidate, Trump has continued to say in interviews that he didn’t know whether Obama was born in the United States.
Donald Trump, who has made a hardline stance on immigration a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, asserted Saturday that “not one more American life should be given up in the name of open borders”. The Republican nominee and his backers only spent about $38 million in the same period.
“But there’s just been decades of dishonesty flowing out from the Clintons”.

It’s not every day you hear Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker talk like a Democrat. “Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again”, he said. And if I were in your shoes, I understand why you’re deflecting. Clinton’s doctors said her physical exam was normal, apart from the pneumonia, and that she was in excellent mental condition.
