Clinton says controversies behind her; Trump begs to differ
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a campaign event at Truckee Meadows Community College, in Reno, Nev., Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016.
Clinton is also targeting moderate voters – and especially Republicans – by depicting Trump and his supporters as extremists, and casting the race as “not a normal choice between a Republican and a Democrat”. Flake has been critical of Trump in the past, but has admitted that he is actually trying to persuade his colleagues to “distance themselves” from the GOP nominee. While he has not wavered on his desire to build an impenetrable wall along the border with Mexico, he exhibited indecisiveness in recent days about his plan to deport 11 million immigrants living in the US illegally.
She said the private Clinton Foundation’s charitable programs would continue if she’s elected, even as Trump and other critics argue they would present a conflict of interest. Clinton has since apologized for using the term. She replied, “I am sure”, and mentioned her strong understanding about the foundation’s work.
This week, the State Department said it is reviewing almost 15,000 previously undisclosed emails recovered as part of an Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry that did not result in charges concerning Clintons use of a private server. The messages could become public in mid-October, just weeks before Election Day.
Clinton may not be having any press conferences anytime soon (it’s been 266 days since the last one, according to the Republican National Committee’s count) but she is interacting with the press – to tell them to eat chocolate. The department did not immediately respond.
Clinton, who is leading in the polls, has come under withering scrutiny over whether Clinton Foundation donors received favored access at the State Department while she was secretary of state during President Barack Obama’s first term. The analysis focused on people with private interests and excluded her meetings or calls with federal employees or foreign government representatives. He also said he would step down from its board and would no longer raise money for the organization.
This, while Trump tries to clarify his policy on how to handle the 11 million undocumented workers living in the country.
But the only way to eliminate the odor surrounding the foundation is to wind it down and put it in mothballs, starting today, and transfer its important charitable work to another large American charity such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“We’re going to secure the border like it’s never been secured before”, Trump told Fox News.
The State Department now says it doesn’t expect to publicly produce all the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Clinton covering her time as secretary of state before Election Day.
It’s why Clinton isn’t reassured by the notion that intelligent advisors would rein in a President Trump’s worst impulses.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump met with about two dozen Latino supporters in Nevada to discuss strategies for boosting Hispanic turnout in the swing state, part of his effort to make the case that his economic policies would be better for small minority-owned businesses than those of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
