Clinton seeks more support from young voters

I was part of the national security team that worked with President Obama, developed strategies to fight the terrorists.

“I think it’s always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions because we are just in the beginning stages of trying to determine what happened”, she said.

Secretary Clinton’s citation of her experience fighting terrorism, then, appears to be a challenge to the idea that a terrorist attack naturally favors Donald Trump, an assumption that the media is all too happy to make.

An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said.

“We must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people”, he said. Authorities are also investigating the stabbings of nine people at a Minnesota mall as a possible act of terrorism. Stressing the race is close, Clinton asked for more support, adding that “not voting is not an option”.

Trump, on his Twitter account, said, “Under the leadership of [President Barack] Obama & Clinton, Americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories overseas”.

Trump claimed credit for accurately calling the weekend explosion in NY a bombing on Saturday even before full details were disclosed by police.

Clinton briefly turned her focus from national security on Monday, wooing younger voters at a midday rally at a Philadelphia university.

Clinton urged voters not to “get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear from the other side”.

The letter was signed by Hillary Clinton supporters and prominent Republicans, all of whom say the next president will take office at a complex moment in world affairs. She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with ISIS, are rooting for Trump to win the White House.

Both met with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, while Clinton also met with the leaders of Ukraine and Japan. Her campaign acknowledges they need to do more to get millennials on board.

Trump, a real estate mogul running for elected office for the first time, said USA police know who “a lot of these people are” but “are afraid to do anything” to stop attacks because they do not want to be accused of racial profiling.

The newest poll numbers are a dramatic shift from Clinton’s commanding 15-point lead in aggregated polls in early August, when she was enjoying a strong push from the Democratic National Convention and avoiding the spotlight while Trump stumbled through several controversies.

The events came as both candidates were dealing with missteps. Trump and his allies spent Sunday – repeatedly and falsely – accusing Clinton of pushing the idea that President Barack Obama was not born in the USA – a conspiracy theory long championed by Trump himself.

Since then, Clinton has been dogged by new accusations about impropriety at the Clinton Foundation, questions about her honesty, and a health scare in which she was caught nearly collapsing on video after a 9/11 memorial ceremony.
