Republican Donald Trump is condemning Hillary Clinton’s remark that half of his supporters could be put in a “basket of deplorables” and dismissing her admission she was wrong, saying the Democrat had committed “the worst mistake of the political season”.

“During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment [in New York], and is feeling much better”, he said. Clinton was diagnosed Friday with pneumonia, according to her doctor, who ascribed her illness on Sunday to that ailment.
In response to the original statement, Trump tweeted, “While many of her supporters will never vote for me, I still respect them all!”
Her trip has been canceled, but Politico reports her husband, former President Bill Clinton, could take her place on the fundraising swing. All three Republicans were sitting in the same row, just a few chairs away from Clinton and her team.
“Speaking to wealthy donors, Hillary Clinton called tens of millions Americans ‘deplorable”, the ad says. “Unfortunately there are people like that”.
Trump’s gastroenterologist, Dr. Harold Bornstein, wrote a four-paragraph letter claiming Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Trump predicted his physical would show “large numbers” and “hopefully very good statistics”. “We shouldn’t be judging people based on their age, but based on their ideas”.
Clinton’s health has been a lingering source of speculation among her critics, dating to well before she announced her second White House campaign.
“He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million”, she continued, referencing Trump’s campaign hire of Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon. Dr. Lisa R. Barback said Clinton was examined at her home in suburban NY and “is now rehydrated and recovering nicely”. She added that those people are “irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America”.
Trump said Monday on CNBC that he fears he won’t be treated fairly. On Friday night, he told supporters in Pensacola, Florida, that Clinton could shoot someone and not be prosecuted.
On Saturday, Clinton’s staff said she attended another fundraiser at the Armonk, New York, home of attorney David Boies.
The latest poll bucks the trend of analyses showing that the presidential race has gotten tighter in the past month. “But let’s be clear, what’s really “deplorable” is that Donald Trump hired a major advocate for the so-called “alt-right” movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values”. I would think it would’ve been. Neither Clinton or Trump have released anything approaching that level of detail.
A top Trump adviser, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, fueled this stuff, and with this was before Sunday, by suggesting in interviews and on Twitter – with no evidence – that Clinton had health issues.
Clinton then listed a number of “deplorable” things about the Republican presidential candidate.

While Mrs Clinton has consistently led the race, the unpredictable contest is far from over.
