Trump spokesman says North Korean test is example of Clinton failures

But if you’re looking at national polls exclusively, you’re unlikely to learn much about the state of the presidential race.

What do you expect from the event moderators during a presidential election?

Trump was the star at a Washington gathering of grassroots activists, conservative stalwart lawmakers, and leaders in the anti-abortion and religious freedom movements. The Republican presidential nominee. He now says he’ll give the nation’s generals and military experts 30 days after he takes office to come up with their own recommendations.

The sample size was insufficient to determine the outcome in Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska and the District of Columbia, though Alaska usually votes Republican and Washington D.C. for the Democratic Party candidate.

While the Trump campaign has been slow to assemble a conventional organization in the state, Trump could benefit from other Republican efforts to drive turnout.

But during a July press conference Trump denied ever meeting the Russian leader.

In their first proximate – but not joint -appearance of the fall campaign, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump each made the case for their foreign policy chops this week.

In that vein, his campaign has taken steps to distance the Republican nominee from his years-long propagation of the “birther” conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the United States. “He trafficks in toxic conspiracy theories like the lie that President Obama is not a true American”.

Kellyanne Conway, his campaign manager, told CNN on Friday that Mr Trump had essentially been tricked by Mr King, saying that no one realised the segment would be aired on RT and that it was bound only for his CNN podcast.

“She is the corrupt establishment”, Trump said.

Trump himself has so far refused to clearly acknowledge the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency. In 2012, President Barack Obama won the state by just 74,000 votes out of more than 8 million cast.

Clinton has worked since she joined the race a year ago to break through the decades of Clinton political baggage and voter skepticism of her motivations to tell the story of why she entered public service and how her values were shaped.

“The history book is closing on the failed politicians of yesterday”, Trump proclaimed.

Numerous participants at Friday’s meeting – including former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, former CIA Director David Petraeus and former director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matt Olsen – served with Clinton in the Obama administration.

“The former secretary of state, who described her own remarks as “grossly generalistic”, said Trump had bolstered people who are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it”.

“I’m not interested in giving aid and comfort to their evil ambitions”, Clinton said.

The meeting came two days before the country marks the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in NY and the Pentagon in Washington.

Trump has refused to release his tax returns, while she’s disclosed decades of filings.

By putting the focus on her faith, her interest in service and her lifelong commitment to children and families – the topic of another one of the forthcoming speeches – her campaign hopes that Clinton will inspire and “animate the values that are behind the policies”, as Palmieri put it.
