A stiff-sounding Donald Trump expressed regret Thursday in an attempt to save his flagging presidential campaign. “I have done that, and believe it or not I regret it”, the candidate dutifully read as per his new campaign staff’s instructions. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.

He did not provide specific incidents for regret, but insisted that it was…
The remarks came a day after Trump announced that he was overhauling his campaign operation, bringing in a new chief executive and appointing a new campaign manager.
Mr Trump previously rejected notions that he should apologise for controversial remarks.
Most recently, even many of his fellow Republicans rebuked him for his prolonged feud with the family of a Muslim U.S. Army captain who was killed in the Iraq war.
The man who declared “I alone can fix it” at the Republican National Convention is now echoing another acceptance speech, from 2008, in which Senator Barack Obama declared, “What the naysayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me; it’s about you”.
The campaign will be putting two new ads on the air in five states this week, the first campaign ads Trump has aired in the general election, Conway said. “Most Clinton supporters take the opposite view: 59 %say life for people like them has gotten better over the past half-century, while 19 %think it has gotten worse and 18% see little change”, the polls said.
It’s an issue unlikely to go away: At hearings planned for next month, Republicans in Congress say they’ll ask Federal Bureau of Investigation officials whether those notes indicate she may have lied to lawmakers in response to questions about her handling of classified material. Trump has yet to purchase time in Virginia, though a campaign adviser said earlier this week that he planned to do so.
According to polls conducted by Gallup, her favorability ratings have fallen from a high of around 65 percent during her tenure as secretary of state to just over 40 percent after the Democratic convention, a historic low for a presidential candidate, surpassed only by Trump.
In North Carolina, Trump trails Clinton by 9 percentage points, according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll. “I have done that”, the GOP nominee, reading from prepared text, said at a rally in Charlotte, N.C. Thursday night.
Manafort and business associate Rick Gates, another top strategist in Trump’s campaign, were working in 2012 on behalf of the political party of Ukraine’s then-president, Viktor Yanukovych.
With outside groups supporting the campaigns factored in, Team Clinton is outspending Team Trump $104 million to $12 million. “I don’t think they follow the statistics and I think that Donald Trump is going to make America great again”.
Leshchenko also said that the ledgers contained the name of US television personality Larry King, listed as having received an advance payment of $225,000 via Geller, a Party of Regions deputy. Hamid told CBS News that she came to the rally to “try to build bridges” with Trump’s base and that Trump’s supporters asked “great questions”.
“While sometimes I can be too honest, Hillary Clinton is the exact opposite: She never tells the truth”. I don’t want to pivot.
Trump’s campaign has promised to focus on more “themes”.

Debate preparation is also scheduled to begin in the coming days, though the campaign has been reluctant to share details.
