“Actually it’s 22. It’s nearly impossible to conceive that this is happening in this country”, he said. The RNC has been sending out emails every day noting the number of days since Hillary’s last formal press conference.

A recent CNN/ORC poll released this month found that 51% of likely voters believe Trump is best to specifically combat terrorism, compared to 45% for Clinton.
Guy Cecil, co-chair and chief strategist of Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting Clinton, criticized Lauer for spending too much time talking about the email scandal during a forum meant to address the military and foreign policy.
One day after announcing he would expand every aspect of our military, Trump took on another important issue – education – in OH, a state vital for Republicans hoping to call the White House home.
Clinton reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator. Instead, it was just the latest example of Matt Lauer’s ineptitude as a television journalist.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Clinton over her support for the war, saying it showed poor judgment. “He trash talked American generals”, she said.
Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Clinton suggested she agreed with Democrats who say she is being held to a different standard in the White House race.
Clinton said she has said “many, many times” that she has “always thought this was going to be a close election”. “That’s not only unsafe but it should be disqualifying”, Clinton said.
The format of the NBC forum, in which the two candidates were separated by only a commercial break, put that contrast into higher relief than ever before.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway met Trump supporters in Congress on Thursday morning, and Trump spoke with the group by phone to thank them for their support.
Lauer interjected and said: “You said you think they’re going to cheat”.
“In fact, I think it would fulfill one of [the Islamic State group’s] dearest wishes to drag us back into a ground war”, she said, while promising to “do whatever is necessary” to support troops from the region and continue on a path that “intensifies what we are already doing”.
