Three-quarters of voters in the poll said their pick for president is motivated by a desire to cast their ballot against either Clinton or Trump.

“Let’s admit it”, Clinton said.
Clinton told the House Benghazi committee past year that “some” people had wanted to use the offensive, anti-Muslim video to “justify” the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. She has said Clinton, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, lied to her by blaming the assaults on an anti-Muslim video, instead of labeling it a calculated terrorist attack.
Clinton’s campaign is launching a major voter mobilization drive during the Republican National Convention, with a goal of getting more than 3 million to register and commit to vote in the 2016 election.
He dubbed her a “piece of garbage” and suggested a punishment for alleged inaction during the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attacks that left four Americans dead. “It’s time to hold Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton accountable for the cover-up”.
The next morning, it seemed, the ante was raised, when news broke that Al Baldasaro, a prominent Trump supporter who advises the campaign on veterans’ issues, had said on a radio show that Clinton deserves to “be put in the firing line and shot for treason”.
Melania struck a softer note, promising that Trump would care for every American, regardless of race or religion, and praising him as a husband, father and person. It’s probably why Baldasaro’s case has caught the attention of the Secret Service.
An audience member yelled, of Clinton: “She’s a liar!”
It’s those independents that Trump’s campaign hopes it can peel off – if it can keep up a steady drumbeat of negativity about Clinton. Conventions are a boon for the hosting party, in part because of the blanket coverage they get by the press.

Donald Trump turned to both political allies, reality TV stars, one-time Hollywood actors for his first night at the Republican National Convention. “If we don’t get an economy that produces results for an increasing number of Americans, then we’re gonna see more of this demagoguery and this kind of rhetorical fear-mongering. So all we can go on is what he has said and done in the past”. “So I stand by what I said”. She is also pushing for new gun control laws.
