Opinion poll shows gains for Hillary Clinton in U.S. presidential race
Clinton did get some good news, though: She staunched her campaign’s bleeding with a strong debate performance Saturday in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Clinton got a major boost from last week’s Democratic debate, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks about recent comments from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign stop December 8, in Salem, N.H.
Lexie Tandy, the mother of Hannah, told the Des Moines Register that, while she is a registered Democrat, she has not yet decided who she will vote for. When speaking to a Trump rally.
Watch Clinton’s remarks, as posted on Wednesday, below.
“I think we’re not treating each other with the respect and the care that we should show towards each other”, Clinton responded to Tandy’s question.
At first, Clinton’s campaign declined to comment directly on Trump’s “schlonged” comment, although Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign’s communications director, said soon after that “everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women” should respond to the brash billionaire.
“Hillary said ‘I really deplore the tone and inflammatory rhetoric of his campaign.’ I deplore the death and destruction she caused-stupidity”, Trump wrote.
Trump responded by warning Clinton not to “play the war on women or women being degraded card”.
“I really do think we need more love and kindness in our country… it’s important to stand up to bullies wherever they are, and why we shouldn’t let anybody bully his way into the presidency”. “I’m old enough that it doesn’t particularly bother me but I can’t imagine what it’s like to be, you know, a young person in today’s world where that’s coming at you all the time”.
Whether the topic is women, Muslims or immigrants, Trump has consistently doubled down after making inflammatory statements during the 2016 White House campaign. His bigotry, his bluster, his bullying have become his campaign. “He has to keep sort of upping the stakes and going even further”.
Clinton once enjoyed a brief flash of world-beating dominance over Bernie Sanders in the primary fight, but that moment has passed as the margin she once enjoyed over The Donald has also shrunk.
