Clinton releases health data, doctor says ‘fit to serve’

Obama, whose 50 percent job approval rating could help improve the climate for the Democratic ticket in the November 8 election, rallied party faithful against Trump, the 70-year-old NY real estate developer, at an outdoor event in Philadelphia.
But Trump’s approach leaves the impression that he’s not ready for prime time or particularly presidential.
“But I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail, and we’ll be seeing her at the debate”.
He has questioned Clinton’s stamina and ability to withstand the rigors of campaigning and of holding office.
Obama, meanwhile, insisted that Clinton had “been subjected to more scrutiny and. more unfair criticism than anybody out here”, while accusing the media of giving her Republican opponent a pass.
Her health took centre stage after footage emerged of her appearing to almost collapse at a 9/11 anniversary ceremony on Sunday.
Sixty-five percent of likely voters said Clinton is not honest, and 55 percent said she was not honest enough to be president.
While Clinton has been in the battleground state of North Carolina multiple times since essentially sealing the Democratic nomination in June, this was her first stop in the Triad since then.
Trump has also gotten a boost in Iowa, according to a Monmouth University poll released Thursday. The plan, he said, was aimed to bolster working-class and middle-class families.
Yet Trump repeatedly stoked the issue in the years since Obama released his birth certificate.
“Our campaign readily admits that running against a candidate as controversial as Donald Trump means it is harder to be heard on what you aspire for the country’s future and it is incumbent on us to work harder to make sure voters hear that vision”.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have each managed to muck up what would otherwise be a non-controversial, one-day story about their health disclosures in thoroughly telling ways.
“If you had told me two years ago that I would be voting for Hillary Clinton, I would have said, ‘No freaking way, ‘” said Michael Sheehan, chief operating officer of a Columbus-based apparel firm.
Sheehan is now leaning toward Clinton, the Democratic nominee, because he worries Trump would damage U.S. relations overseas. “I call people who aren’t supporting me American citizens who are entitled to the same respect as anyone else”.
When Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein were added into the mix, Clinton and Trump tied at 42% with likely voters.
Indeed, Trump himself has said that his aides shouldn’t be trusted to speak on his behalf.
Discontent with the major-party candidates persists. A man grabbed an anti-Trump protester’s neck and punched him during the rally, video from NBC and ABC showed.
