After Pence chat, Cruz mum on supporting Trump
A war of words over Donald Trumps deplorables is intensifying as Republicans and Democrats fight to score political points over Hillary Clintons charge that millions of the NY billionaires supporters are racist, sexist and homophobic. In poll after poll, at least two-thirds of voters find Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to be dishonest and untrustworthy. Democrats and even some Republicans warned, however, that this debate could backfire on Trump, drawing new attention to white supremacists and hate groups attracted by his “America first” message. But not all Republicans were pleased.
“While my opponent slanders you as deplorable and irredeemable, I call you hard working American patriots who love your country and want a better future for all of our people”, Trump said.
She has said she was wrong to characterize half of Trump supporters in the manner she did.
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.
“I hope that regardless of what your political viewpoint is, this should be celebrated”, she added. Another wore a homemade shirt that read, “I’m with deplorable”. “So if you want to stop that trajectory, we know we need to make investments early and consistently throughout the education pipeline”, she said. However, we think her observation was partly correct.
We’re not reaching way back here: this is from just three months ago when he lashed out at Jewish members of the media who he claimed were “absolutely zeroing in now on Donald Trump”.
A man grabbed an anti-Trump protester’s neck and punched him during the rally, video from NBC and ABC showed. The incident was captured by assembled television networks.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) on Tuesday on CNN said he does not agree with what Duke has said and done, but also declined to label him or other racist, sexist, homophobic, and Islamophobic people as deplorable. The only reason David Duke even has a platform is because CNN keeps talking about it. Let me agree with something Tim Kaine said in that package there about if you ignore something it grows and gets worse.
A spokesman for Duke, who is running for Louisianas U.S. Senate seat, had no immediate comment Tuesday.
“I think the President of the United States has to be a cheerleader for the country, and you have to bring the black and the white and everything – you have to bring everyone together”, he said. And he’s accused Clinton of starting the “birther” movement, questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship when he was its most vocal proponent.
Clinton said on August 5, 2016, before a group of journalists that she “may have short-circuited” when saying days earlier that Comey labeled her answers about emails truthful when the Federal Bureau of Investigation chief testified before lawmakers. “I feel for Mrs. Clinton, for what they have to go through”.
In the last few days, Trump and his campaign have repeatedly criticized Clinton for failing to provide specific policy proposals, despite the fact that by any measure, Trump has offered less detail on far fewer issues over the course of his campaign than Clinton, who has released so many policy proposals, her campaign published a book of them.
“You actually can unpack those numbers”, he said.
