Hillary Clinton’s aides wanted their candidate to start talking more about policy and less about Trump. However, her polling numbers have suffered this month amid a bout with pneumonia and relatively restrained behavior on the trail for Trump’s standards.

“Maybe I can, by speaking directly to white people, say, look, this is not who we are”, she continued.
Both Clinton and Trump are focusing their time and money elsewhere with the election less than seven weeks away.
Trump (76 percent) and Clinton (75 percent) earn comparable support from voters in their own party. But Clinton entirely ignored the Republican nominee during the event, never using his name in the roughly 30-minute speech.
Trump was campaigning in OH on Wednesday.
Overall, the Siena poll shows Clinton has a significant lead, especially among the African and Latino communities, where she has over 80 percent in favor of her. Clinton also has a lead amongst Protestants in NY, with 57 percent to 30 percent in favor for Clinton to Trump. Trump has the support of 81 percent of Republicans.
The investigations cast a long shadow over the presidential race, diverting both candidates’ plans for the day.
On the campaign’s website, senior advisor for the Stein campaign, Kevin Zeese, let protestors know they may be asked to “escort our candidates into the debates”.
“Donald Trump has made a career out of taking advantage of small businesses, refusing to pay them the agreed amount after they had done work for his larger companies”, said Slone. When Clinton spoke before the “Black Women’s Group” she jokingly responded, “The good news is my pneumonia finally got some Republicans interested in women’s health”.
Citing the names of the African-American men killed in police shootings, Clinton tweeted: “Keith Lamont Scott”. She declined to say who was portraying Trump in any mock debates, but she said the campaign was preparing for the idea that “different Trumps” could show up. Campaigning in Orlando, she pledged to provide more job opportunities to people with disabilities and get rid of the sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities. “I mean, this is just unbearable, and it needs to be intolerable”. In fact, Hillary Clinton talks tougher about my supporters than she does about Islamic terrorists.

The New York magnate had no trouble mixing basically unrelated concepts like terrorism, Barack Obama’s freeing “undocumented criminals”, most of whom had committed minor traffic infractions, and the acceptance of refugees, most of whom are victims and not supporters of the Islamic State.
