When he finally spoke out, it might have had some of you thinking, “Oh here we go, Trump is finally going to tell us about his unbelievable plans for better and more accessible education”.
Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she was wrong to put half of Donald Trump’s supporters in a “basket of deplorables”, but she didn’t back down from describing his campaign as largely built on prejudice and paranoia. As Trump was again dismissing the tax return matter, The Washington Post that afternoon published an extensive report laying out what USA intelligence officials believe is “a broad covert Russian operation in the United States to sow public distrust in the upcoming presidential election and in US political institutions”.
CLINTON: She would seek to make preschool universal for all 4-year-old children within 10 years of her election by providing new federal dollars to states. She said it was a mistake to call one in two Trumpsters bigoted but didn’t back down from blasting the odious nature of so much of his campaign. While some polls show Trump trailing Clinton in many battleground states where the election will likely be decided, he has drawn close to even with her in some national polls and even inched ahead in others.
Donald Trump told mourners at a funeral service for conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly that she promoted the idea that the “little person” can beat “the rigged system”.
Some of those people were irredeemable, she said, but they did not represent America.
Trump is expected to speak at the Catholic service for Schlafly, who died Monday at the age of 92.
“I will also support merit pay for teachers”, he said.
Trump, who has never held elected office, has criticized Clinton’s judgment, attacking her vote in favor of the 2003 Iraq war and her support for the USA intervention in Libya in 2011.
“I would never comment on any aspect of an intelligence briefing I received”, Clinton, a former secretary of state, said before boarding her campaign plane.
She said she regrets only half of her statement, emphasizing that it is “really deplorable” that Trump is affiliated with people from the right-winged “alt-right movement”, and that “David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values”.
“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of awesome, hard-working people”.
In her statement, Clinton said of Trump: “it’s deplorable that he’s attacked a federal judge for his ‘Mexican heritage, ‘ bullied a Gold Star family due to their Muslim faith, and promoted the lie that our first black president is not a true American”.
Democrat Hillary Clinton repeated just such an attack on Trump’s ability to command America’s military.
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.
The comment was reminiscent of Trump’s January description of the loyalty of his supporters.
Meanwhile, Trump late Friday said that if Iranians circle USA boats and “make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water”.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has taken aim at supporters of Republican rival Donald Trump, saying half of them belong in a “basket of deplorables” as people who are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, or Islamophobic.

Asked whether he’d be comfortable with Trump as president, Ryan demurred, “I’ll leave it at that”.
