“Some people didn’t like it, but I say it proudly”, Trump said. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published in June found almost half of Trump supporters describe black people as more “violent” than white people.

Trump said that when you’re running for president, “you have an obligation to be healthy” because the job requires it. Trump has declared Flint’s water problems “a horror show” and said “this is a situation that would have never happened if I were president”.
The health records of the presidential candidates and their running mates have become a central issue in the race after Democrat Hillary Clinton announced she had pneumonia.
The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, the president of the North Carolina NAACP and a Clinton supporter, said that if Trump really wanted to appeal to blacks, he would be embracing policies like strengthening the Voting Rights Act and supporting criminal justice reform, not attacking Clinton.
The Democratic vice presidential candidate said Trump’s plan, by contrast, offers six weeks of maternity leave just to women, which Kaine claimed could make women less desirable to potential employers.
Her campaign said she canceled a California trip set for Monday and Tuesday and belatedly disclosed the pneumonia diagnosis.
Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark, the subject of TV ads in OH and other battlegrounds this week, also was evident at the Wednesday rally in the form of T-shirts that were for sale by enterprising vendors outside the event. Meyers also said that due to double standards, the rules are different for Clinton and Donald Trump. “I call people who aren’t supporting me American citizens who are entitled to the same respect as anyone else, and I will not stop campaigning for every last American vote in every last American city right up until November 8”. I’m not in the name-calling business, Wolf. “To every kid in America tonight, I want you to know that your parents are working so hard to make your life better, and to make your country better”.
“The bigger question is why isn’t Trump being called out for all the high-profile deplorable people he’s aligned with?” Pence said Ryun told him he would always “run through the tape” and not slow down at the finish line. An open mike at a Trump rally is a crash course in racial, sexist and homophobic slurs. I find that deplorable as well.
Clinton made her remarks in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she was speaking about her commitment to helping children and families.
“Everything she touches didn’t work out – nothing”, he said.
“As we get closer and closer to the election, more people are solidifying their existing opinions rather than potentially changing their mind”, Casey said.
Pence allowed that the white nationalist is a “bad man” whose support “we do not want”.

For many, the comment reinforces the notion that Clinton is a wealthy elitist who can’t relate to the lower- and middle-class families who make up much of the electorate in Pennsylvania, Ohio and MI. “Perhaps more importantly, comments like this tend to get pushed aside once the next controversy comes along – which we’re already seeing with questions about Clinton’s health”.
