Trump softens tone, appeals to Afro-American voters

Advisers to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump pledged to US agricultural groups that he will give growers and states a say on national farm policy should he be elected, two association leaders said on Friday.

And whether Trump’s message is really aimed at black voters raises skepticism from Jamal Simmons, who said this rhetoric might be an attempt at softening the racial overtones of Trump’s campaign to draw more support from suburban white women.

Polls now mostly show Trump lagging Clinton by 5 percentage points or more nationally, but Priebus predicted they will tighten up and Trump will be “ahead as we move through September”.

The campaign has also begun reaching out to black and Hispanic voters, with whom Trump is unpopular, according to opinion polls.

Trump-speaking to an overwhelmingly white audience that featured only a smattering of African-Americans and other minorities-also promised that were he to run for re-election at the end of his first term, he would win 95% of the black vote. That type of one-on-one interaction with voters is a staple of most political campaigning, yet something Trump had mostly avoided in favor of large rallies.

Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party will coordinate more closely going forward, with the GOP’s top communicator and chief strategist, Sean Spicer, increasingly working out of Trump campaign headquarters, the campaign confirmed Sunday.

Last Monday, the Republican nominee suggested that Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS, and all the many adversaries we face”.

And that map may be a conservative estimate of Clinton’s head start over the Republican nominee. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that someone is shying away from tough questions when they have taken over 300 interviews from reporters, we tried to have the interns look how many questions she took, which is much bigger number, and we haven’t even finished tallying that.

“The Hillary people want this to all be about tone and temperament”. She brought in approximately $52.3 million in July, far more than the $26.4 million raised in May or the $36.4 million in June. “And there are real questions being raised about whether Donald Trump himself is just a puppet for the Kremlin in this race?” he alleged.

“He has said that he wants to regret anytime he has caused somebody personal pain by saying something that he didn’t intend to cause personal pain”.

Mook also argued that Trump should publicly account for his financial ties to Russia and his repeated praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Clinton wrote Thursday on Facebook that she spoke with Edwards and that while her “heart breaks for Louisiana”, the relief effort “can’t afford any distractions”. On CNN on Thursday, Trump national spokesperson Katrina Pierson claimed that Clinton suffered from dysphasia, a dysfunction in the brain that hampers the ability to both understand and communicate.

Mook defended the foundation’s work, insisting it is saving lives around the globe through vaccine work.

At the same time, Clinton has solidified her lead in the electoral count.
