While a mudslinging match is not what I hope to see – I think that if the debate does devolve to such levels that Trump could emerge the victor with stronger support out of that. In August, he had said that those who supported gun rights should rise up against Clinton, if she became president, to stop her from selecting judges in favour of her policies. “Take their guns away“, he said. “Okay? It’d be very risky”.

Clinton’s campaign is relying on the Obamas to help persuade the coalition of minorities, young people and women who propelled them to the White House to cast ballots for this year’s Democratic candidate.
Mook added, “This kind of talk should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate”.
Clinton’s campaign responded quickly, denouncing the comment as reckless and unsafe.
While Miller explained the whole “power of unification’ angle, some pundits pointed out that Trump was discussing the possibility of Second Amendment activists “taking care” of Clinton after she was elected”. She did not mention Trump by name but showered the president with praise and said the upcoming election would be a pivotal choice for the country.
“She wants to destroy your Second Amendment”, he said.
The Clinton campaign had field offices earlier this year in SC, but those offices closed after the February primary. Mook said then, “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way”.
“There is no other surrogate with the reach, credibility and respect she has”, Palmieri said.
First of all, as the Republican nominee, Trump is also protected by the Secret Service, so he has just as many “armed bodyguards” as she does. “We are seeing a likely voter model that’s benefitting Trump”. If anything he’s appeared to condone it.
Speaking at the National Press Club, Trump says he doesn’t regret questioning President Obama’s citizenship, and there’s a “chance” he was born in the United States.
“We have some protesters who are bad dudes, they have done bad things”. He later clarified that he meant the action they could take is voting.
When asked about the renewed controversy, Mr Obama said: “I was pretty confident about where I was born”.
President Obama made a strong sell for a candidate to succeed his legacy at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner Saturday night.
On Friday, Donald Trump attempted to put the “birther” movement to rest by acknowledging that President Obama was born in the United States and pinning the blame on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Trump decides not to run for president, but continues to use media appearances and social media to question the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate.
