Paul Ryan splits with Donald Trump on Russian leader Vladimir Putin

Trump has dismissed Clinton’s endorsements from military officials, saying U.S. brass had been “reduced to rubble” under Obama, and added that the briefings “shocked” him: “Our leadership, Barack Obama, did not follow what our experts … said to do”. The word “leader” was used at least 26 times; the word “decision” was uttered exactly as many, according to a transcript by The Post, and both White House hopefuls used “judgment” to describe a key trait for being commander-in-chief.

Obama has previously suggested Trump is not prepared or fit for the US presidency – last month saying Trump was not qualified to succeed him as commander in chief. I don’t think it’s right to say that. Until recently, Trump’s campaign was run by Paul Manafort, who previously worked in Ukraine on behalf of a pro-Russia candidate.

Separately, US officials have blamed Russian-government backed hackers for breaching the Democratic National Committee’s e-mail system.

Quinnipiac calls North Carolina “a garden of gender harmony” because the numbers are not as sharply divided with men voting for Trump and women voting for Clinton as they are in other states. Trump contributed $2 million to the campaign, CNN reported, and the Washington Post added that million came from small donations.

Donald Trump has never kept his admiration for Vladimir Putin a secret. “That is an adversarial stance, and he is acting like an adversary”.

Ryan, who has endorsed Trump, grew frustrated by questions about the Republican nominee’s remarks.

Trump responded Thursday during an event in Cleveland.

Clinton also said that Trump has no plan to defeat ISIS.

Clinton, clinging to just over a one point lead over Trump in North Carolina, is looking to become only the second Democrat to win the battleground state since President Jimmy Carter, back in 1976. When given the choice between Trump and Clinton, he said that he would like to work with a USA president “who can be accountable for decisions made and implement any agreements that we reach” but that “surnames don’t matter at all”.

Clinton characterized these comments as “unpatriotic” Thursday morning.

Clinton said US policies under her leadership at the State Department had helped promote security.

On Thursday, Clinton denounced this approach.

In one instance, she had said: “Our decision was to put together an worldwide coalition, including Russian Federation and China to exert the kind of pressure that the United States alone could not do”.

“We made the world safer”, she said.
