WSB poll: Donald Trump holds narrow lead over Hillary Clinton in Georgia
It won’t be as easy in a 90-minute, one-on-one debate, especially if moderator Lester Holt provides the necessary fact checks and follow-up questions to elicit detailed answers from both candidates.
Reines, whose garrulous and quirky personality is closer in some ways to Trump’s than Clinton’s, is the rare ally who would be willing to throw any number of embarrassing comments in her face during a mock debate.
Clinton, 68, enters the fray as a polished former secretary of State, who after nearly 40 years of public service is very well versed on the issues.
More also say their unfavourable opinion of Trump is a strong one than say the same of Clinton, 50 per cent to 44 per cent.
Of those polled, 63 percent responded that they think Trump should release his tax returns, while 24 percent said it wasn’t necessary.
“I’ve gotten to know Hillary and seen her work and seen her in tough times and in good times”.
Both campaigns expect a record-setting television audience for the high-stakes showdown, which could help tip the balance in a tight White House race.
Congressional leaders say they have the voters to override Obama’s veto.
With just six weeks before the November 8 election, Monday’s debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York will be the first of three between the White House rivals. However, unless you do something about it, you will only get more of the same. Moderators came under fire in the GOP primary debates for soft questioning and grandstanding, and “Today” show host Matt Lauer was criticized for going too easy on Trump in a presidential forum this month.
Trump has had more success staying on message following an August campaign shakeup and he’s given in to his new senior team’s insistence that he stick to a more scripted message during campaign rallies.
Trump has wavered in the language he’s used to describe the list.
Trump’s advertising plan costs more than his campaign has in the bank, meaning he needs to dip into his own pockets or continue raising major money.
Mrs. Clinton is eager to play offense and try to get under his skin, by doing things like calling him “Donald” and questioning his net worth. It’s the latest attempt by her campaign to use Trump’s words against him and is similar to ads aimed at voters in battleground states, including veterans and people with disabilities.
“I am going to do my very best to communicate as clearly and fearlessly as I can in the face of the insults and the attacks and the bullying and bigotry that we have seen coming from my opponent”, Clinton said. “First time voters”, Trump spokeswoman Jennifer Hazelton told Channel 2 political reporter Lori Geary.
David Kochel, a Republican strategist and former top adviser to Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, said a blustery Trump “maximizes base turnout and keeps his people fired up”, but “doesn’t grow his electorate”.
If Trump expresses admiration for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russian Federation, she is prepared to evoke the hero of the Republican Party: “What would Ronald Reagan say about a Republican nominee who attacks American generals and heaps praise on Russia’s president?” as she recently said. As a former first lady, senator and secretary of state, her resume is impressive, and most voters say she is best qualified for the job, but their reservations about her integrity could cost her the election.
Kaine said: “They name-call her because that’s all they got folks”.
In the wake of the bombings last weekend in New York City and New Jersey, Trump said police should be allowed to profile, though his son Donald Trump Jr. later took issue with it being called “racial profiling”. He frequently calls his Democratic rival “crooked Hillary”. Trump has appeared to learn for the first time in public such basic information as that the Trans-Pacific Partnership doesn’t include China and that Russian Federation has already invaded Ukraine. Trump said Perry would do well, though Trump said he didn’t know whether Perry would run. Those include her vote to authorize the 2003 invasion of Iraq, her shifting positions on trade and questions about her honesty.
Even the debate about the first presidential debate has been controversial and divisive.
Monday’s showcase could offer a chance for both to change some minds, though analysts are split on whether debates actually change any minds.
