Meanwhile, Clinton broadcast an advert showing veterans cringing at Trump’s statements on national security. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, is not a hero because he had been captured by the enemy. It also features Trump’s claim that he sacrificed a lot compared to families who have lost loved ones in conflict. Trump’s address comes hours before his national security acumen is tested at a “commander in chief” forum on NBC.

But Oren Cass, domestic policy director of Mitt Romney’s Republican presidential campaign in 2011 and 2012, said it’s important not to look at any single poll. “You need energy, man”, Trump told reporters.
The Republican presidential nominee attacked Hillary Clinton as he courted veterans Tuesday in Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, pollsters say Clinton still remains in the lead among all registered voters at 44 percent to Trump’s 41 percent.
Earlier, she told ABC News that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, should not have to step down before the election from his position at the Clinton Foundation.
Hillary Clinton is unveiling a new ad appealing to military veterans, aiming to undercut Donald Trump’s message on defense.
The CNN poll showing Trump edging ahead seems to indicate that he had weathered a hard August, when he for a second time shuffled his top campaign aides, feuded with a Muslim couple whose son, a US military officer, was killed in fighting in Iraq more than a decade ago, and offered voters conflicting versions of how he would change USA immigration policies.
In a new twist to his immigration proposals, Trump held out the possibility of legal status for millions of illegal immigrants, but only after many other border enforcement steps are taken. “And she didn’t have the energy to go to Mexico”.
In a rare news conference aboard her new campaign plane, Clinton said she is concerned about “credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections”. “But she came up with this Madison Avenue line, ‘Oh, let’s talk about his temperament.’ It’s the single greatest asset I have, my temperament”. “That’s going to change so fast”, Trump said. “He says whatever he feels like at any given time because you can do that when you’re a TV star, but you can’t do that when you’re the president of the United States”.

A late-August Franklin and Marshall poll found Clinton ahead by 15 points in Southeastern Pennsylvania – largely Philadelphia’s suburbs – even as the Republican incumbent senator leads his Democratic challenger by 9 points in the same region. Kaine said that while it seems obvious why Russia is seeking to influence the USA election for its own interests, “the bigger question is why Trump seems to support Russian interests against American ones”. Some traditional Republican states give her a clear edge heading into the final 62 days of the campaign.
