Matt Lauer’s rough night increases pressure on debate moderators

Trump’s campaign fired back at Clinton after her session with reporters, saying she was resorting to “unhinged and dishonest” attacks. “Barbisch, a Republican, was campaigning Wednesday for the Democratic Party and said she will vote for Clinton”. Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Clinton contrasting her experience with Trump’s unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans anxious about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect President Barack Obama’s former secretary of state.

“But broaden the lens to take in the almost two-thirds of poll respondents who say they are at least fairly certain of their vote and their likelihood of casting a ballot and the picture flips, with Clinton holding a 48 per cent-42 per cent lead”, the poll found. Four said they leaned toward Clinton.

Reflecting on her Christianity, Clinton said Jesus Christ’s greatest command was to love.

Hillary Clinton says every Republican holding or seeking office should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump’s comments about trusting and firing some US generals and his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On Thursday, Trump said he would have voted against the war if he had been serving in Congress at the time.

National Review columnist Tom Rogan told “Special Report with Bret Baier” Thursday that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton should be “disappointed” with their performances during Wednesday’s televised national security forum.

“One thing you didn’t hear from Donald Trump last night is any plan to take on ISIS, one of the biggest threats facing our country”, Clinton said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.

New polls by Quinnipiac show a tightening race in several critical states, with Donald Trump now up one point in OH and tied in Florida.

Donald Trump’s fundraising operation, which was in a precarious state just a few months ago, had its best month yet in August with $90 million.

“There’s been so much of the vitriol and hate speech from the other side”, she said.

“She’s a smart woman with a lot of experience but you can’t trust her”, said Beth Gramling, 50, a payroll analyst.

Clinton spoke of teaching the occasional Sunday school class and being married for more than 40 years to former President Bill Clinton, a Southern Baptist, despite being a lifelong Methodist herself.

He was asked Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” what he would do as president about the Syrian city at the center of the refugee crisis, Johnson replied, “And what is Aleppo?” “Well, he does have an 82 percent approval rating, according to the different pollsters, who, by the way, some of them are based right here”, Trump replied.

For most of the campaign, Clinton has largely kept her traveling press corps at a distance, choosing instead to sit for one-on-one interviews with local and national broadcasters, to call into cable TV shows, appear on podcasts and talk with new media websites. “This is what is so incredible and challenging for the Republicans”. The forum served as a test run for the first time for Clinton and Trump before the first presidential debate on September 26.

Asked to respond to a criticism from Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus that she was too serious and didn’t smile enough at Thursday night’s forum – a remark many liberals criticized as sexist – she said that these were “serious issues” that warranted serious responses, and said she would leave the questions about gender to journalists and campaign historians.
