Clinton cites her Methodist faith after Trump remark

Clinton outlined her plans for the USA economy, hours after Donald Trump questioned her credentials to be president. “In fact, he doubled down on being the king of debt, so all he can do is try to distract us”. When asked how they should vote, Sanders replied, “My supporters are smart enough to know that we do not want a bigot to become president of the United States”, prompting raucous applause.

Wednesday’s address came at a pivotal moment for Trump’s presidential campaign. A recent Politico story reported that Trump is especially hopeful about Pennsylvania.

For more than a week, the press has focused on Trump’s anemic fund-raising, the ousting of his campaign manager, and the increasing discomfort of Republican leaders in the aftermath of his disastrous response to Orlando.

Clinton supporters hurled their own salvos hours before Trump’s speech with memos attacking the NY businessman as unethical and challenging the accuracy of many of his assertions. He railed against professional politicians and urged Americans to seize an opportunity to shake up a “rigged” system. Trump sought to ease concerns among his allies by saying that he could tap his “unlimited” personal wealth if needed, and also by bolstering efforts to raise money through fundraising events and online donations.

Clinton also promoted comprehensive immigration reform, arguing it will “bring millions of workers into the formal economy so we don’t have an unlevel playing field”.

Clinton may be “the most corrupt” candidate ever to seek the presidency of the United States, Trump said, going through incident after incident and listing Clinton’s alleged “corrupt dealings” in a almost one-hour speech. “In this election, I will cast my ballot for Secretary Clinton”. Scowcroft directly rebutted Trump’s claim that Clinton does not have the temperament to lead, citing her experience working on high-pressure issues such as Iran and Israel.

Trump frequently referenced sources of information that have been widely questioned, including the book “Clinton Cash” by Peter Schweizer.

Even by the standards of modern presidential races, the sparring between Clinton, a former secretary of state and USA senator, and brash businessman Trump has made for unusually acidic rhetoric. Thirty-four percent said he would get along better with Clinton, the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party. The AP found no evidence of legal or ethical conflicts in Clinton’s meetings.
