Trump and his allies spent Sunday – repeatedly and falsely – accusing Clinton of pushing the idea that President Obama was not born in the USA – a conspiracy theory long championed by Trump himself.

Suppose the unthinkable took place, and Hillary Clinton was forced for health reasons to step down as the Democratic presidential nominee. He said if polls still look like this a week from now, right ahead of the candidates’ first debate at Hofstra University, it’ll be time time for Clinton supporters to panic.
If the election were held today, the project estimates that Clinton has a 60 percent chance of winning by 18 electoral votes. OH is a tough state, and the Clinton campaign will try to motivate every last potential voter to turn out, no matter who they support for the Senate.
And Kaine deflected questions about whether Hillary Clinton’s friend Sidney Blumenthal pushed birtherism quietly on the 2008 campaign trail.
At a minimum, an energized Pennsylvania campaign is a balm for Clinton as she weathers a dip in national polls and dips in the swing states of Florida and Ohio.
“It is like so much else he says: It is not grounded in fact, it is meant to make some kind of demagogic point”, Clinton said. Trump has an advantage with whites, men, avid churchgoers, and people who are nearing retirement age. Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans! One out of every five likely voters said they do not support Clinton or Trump for president.
And that followed a series of incidents during the Republican presidential primaries in which Trump seemed to encourage violence against protestors at his campaign rallies. “The only thing we can expect from a Hillary Clinton presidency is more attacks on our homeland and more innocent Americans being hurt and killed”, Miller said. Her campaign later said she had a non-contagious, bacterial form of pneumonia.
Both candidates get security briefings from the intelligence services. Trump, 70, would be the oldest president to take office, while Clinton, 68, would be the second oldest.
Clinton’s well-known aversion to media – and tendency to keep information private – led to fellow Democrats taking shots at her in recent days.
Trump had called for the president to release his birth certificate in March 2011, saying “there’s something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like”.
More than half of respondents said the US economy was in bad shape, and “many voters do not feel the gains are going to them, specifically, nor that opportunity is available for all”, CBS News said.
“This is so painful to so many Americans because they remember our history”, Kaine said.
“No one will work harder to make your life better”, Clinton told a crowd of about 200 at Temple University, asking for their support at the polls on November 8.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English in all 50 states. The question on the candidates’ health surveyed 1,179 American adults from September 12-16. Polls there showed him up 3, 4, and 5 points this week. While Trump has refused to “soften” his image as thoroughly as some GOP operatives might like, he did back away from his “Muslim ban”, suggesting the United States discriminate on the basis of region, not religion, when it comes to immigration.
