Hillary Clinton expressed “regret” Saturday for comments in which she said “half” of Donald Trump’s supporters are “deplorables”, meaning people who are racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic, APA reports quoting CNN.

Clinton’s lead over Trump in national opinion polls has weakened in recent days. When it was Trump’s turn, Lauer has been raked over the coals for treating the NY billionaire with kid gloves and not challenging the Republican nominee when he lied about opposing the Iraq war in 2002.
She reiterated that point in her statement Saturday, saying many of Trump’s supporters are “hard-working Americans” who feel marginalized.
Trump’s remark was reminiscent of a comment he made in January, when he said he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” but still not lose any support.
A Donald Trump supporter upset with the vandals who’ve been stealing his campaign signs has rigged up a shocking surprise for future thieves. It is not clear whether the two will cross paths, and neither candidate is expected to make public remarks.
And Clinton said she would not discuss until after the election any further changes in the structure of the Clinton Foundation, including whether her daughter, Chelsea, should remain on the board if Clinton wins the White House.
Clinton, meanwhile, demonstrated her fluency on foreign policy at Wednesday night’s forum, but still found herself defending her record. Clinton was repeatedly challenged on her controversial email use at the State Department and her vote as a senator for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Clinton has not let the media attend many fundraisers, but a group of journalists was given access to Friday night’s event to hear her. He also said that the USA military leadership (presumably under the command of the generals he appoints, which he can’t do) would come up with a plan to defeat ISIS under his presidency. “Under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble, reduced to a point where it is embarrassing for our country”.
At the fundraiser, Clinton bemoaned the people she described as “deplorables”, saying “unfortunately there are people like that. I find it frustrating, but it is just part of the landscape that we live in and we just keep forging ahead”.
Trump has blasted Obama’s policy toward China as weak and said the president was humiliated by the Chinese during his visit to Asia this week.
However, it is still short of United States dollars 140 million raised by his rival Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the same month.
She said that she believed the “decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake”, as was “my voting to give President Bush that authority”. But she defended her support for US military intervention to help oust a dictator in Libya, despite the chaotic aftermath.
Trump contributed Dollars 60 million to his campaign in August, which then turned out to be his best fund-raising month with USD 90 million as the total amount raised.
Clinton fired back Thursday, saying, “That’s how he talks about distinguished men and women who served country”. And for the first time, he opened the door to granting legal status to people living in the USA illegally who join the military.
Trump was interviewed by Larry King for RT, Russia Today, but his campaign manager said this morning that the Republican presidential nominee “didn’t know it would be on Russian TV”. He replied, “Yeah, I guess so”.

Obama reacted to Trump on Thursday from Laos. “I’ve got other things to do in this job”, Ryan said. “And I opposed the reckless way Hillary Clinton took us out”.
