Hillary Clinton will paint her White House rival Donald Trump as the candidate of the far right today, claiming “a radical fringe” has taken over the Republican Party.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Thursday criticized his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, for falsely accusing him and GOP voters of racism.
If you are Donald Trump – or any Republican – trying to sell the idea that the Clintons are and always have operated on a “pay to play” model, you just got a gift more wonderful than you could have ever hoped to get.
Trump has in the past described Mexicans as rapists and drug dealers, and vowed to round up illegal immigrants and build a wall on the southern border – for which he would make Mexico pay.
Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young – and largely minority – volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments and has been claiming that the Democrats have taken minority voters’ support for granted.
A Donald Trump surrogate on Thursday blasted a new Hillary Clinton campaign ad that tied Trump’s campaign to racist groups and white nationalists.
That’s exactly the argument that Clinton is making when it comes to the 30,000-plus emails that were permanently deleted from her private email server because her team of lawyers deemed them entirely personal in nature.
The movement has come under new scrutiny in the wake of a leadership shake-up in the Trump campaign that included the installation of Breitbart News head Steve Bannon as the campaign’s chief executive.
Despite less political correctness – which Trump himself prides himself on – and more profanity, both Trump and Clinton supporters used excellent grammar in their posts.
Spokesmen for Clinton did not respond to requests for comment. Clinton is seen as favorable by 34 percent and unfavorable by 45 percent while 20 percent are neutral on her. Trump is seen as favorable by 29 percent and unfavorable by 52 percent while 19 percent are neutral on him.
The conversation wasn’t very productive at that point, so Cooper informed Trump that the B-word “does imply that she has antipathy, that she has hatred toward, I guess in this case you’re talking about African-Americans, but I don’t want to put words in your mouth”.
Clinton’s campaign has narrowed in on a candidate to play Trump in practice sessions, though aides are keeping tightlipped about the identity.
Many African-American leaders and voters have dismissed Trump’s message – delivered to predominantly white rally audiences – as condescending and intended more to reassure undecided white voters that he’s not racist, than to actually help minority communities.
Who cares, right? Just a photo-op among people who have better things to do than entertain a presidential candidate or even a president.

The goal of this pitch is not only to reach out to minority voters but to soften Trump’s image among white moderates, notably women, who have been taken aback by Trump’s rhetoric. “I believe my aides also acted appropriately”, she said on MSNBC. She also took the opportunity to attack Nigel Farage – the man behind Britain’s historic Brexit campaign – who recently endorsed Trump at a rally. Ben Carson is seated next to Trump at center.
