In her Friday evening remarks, Clinton said they should “empathize” with the other half of Trump’s supporters. “Trump admitted to supporting the Iraq war in 2002 before the war began though he did progressively change his decision publicly within the next year”, it says.
The Republican candidate was widely criticized recently when he called her a “co-founder”, along with Obama, of Islamic State.

“Republicans are just in a awful dilemma trying to support a totally unqualified nominee, I have no sympathy for them, it’s their nominee”, she said.
However, it is still short of $140 million raised by his rival Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the same month.
