As the 2016 US election comes to a close, Republican Nominee Donald Trump condemned both Hillary and Bill Clinton as corrupt politicians that would use the presidential position to enrich themselves at the expense of hard working Americans.
Mrs. Clinton with the help of the first lady Michelle Obama rallied voters in North Carolina, a state that could deliver a landslide win to the Democrat team.
As new controversies arise every day, Mr. Trump seized newly made-public emails between Bill Clinton and aide Doug Band. The emails were among the thousands of hacked emails from top Clinton aide’s private account.
At a rally in Springfield, Ohio, Mr. Trump said, “Mr. Band called the arrangement ‘unorthodox.’ The rest of us call it outright corrupt,” he added, “If the Clintons were willing to play this fast and loose with their enterprise when they weren’t in the White House, just imagine what they’ll do in the Oval Office.”
Mrs. Clinton did not comment nor mention anything about the hacked emails as she campaigned alongside Mrs. Obama. The first lady, one of Clinton’s most powerful allies branded Trump as too divisive and thin-skinned for the White House.
“We want someone who is a unifying force in this country, someone who sees our differences not as a threat but as a blessing,” the first lady said as she addressed 11,000 enthusiastic supporters.
Mrs. Obama also accused Trump of manipulating voter’s turnout on Nov. 8 by his statement that the general election might be rigged.
“Just for the record, in this country, the United States of America, the voters decide elections,” the first lady said. “They’ve always decided.”
A Recent poll shows Clinton with a huge lead for weeks. However, her campaign team is concerned that her advantage could prompt some of her supporters to stay home on November 8. They might also cast votes for a third-party candidate.
As the candidates enter the final stage of the election campaign, Clinton showed more cash advantage over Trump. Almost $153 million campaign funds have been raised to back Clinton’s presidential run, more than double on what Trump’s side had available.
Recently a GOP house member released a TV ad, saying Trump has “disqualified himself” to be president. Rep. Robert Dold of Illinois calls Trump as an “independent voice,” first time for the committee to discredit a Republican Presidential nominee.
Issues about hacked emails and “Obamacare” premium hike have appeared. These provide Trump potent weapons in the campaign’s final stretch.
Mr. Trump described the premium hike “making it impossible for parents to pay their bills and support their families.”
While campaigning in Ohio, the Republican nominee criticized Clinton for being too tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was another surprisingly favorable comment for the Russian leader.
“She speaks very badly of Putin, and I don’t think that’s smart,” he said.
Frustration grew as his own Republican party criticized him for failing to denounce Putin. He also refused to answer questions regarding the hacked emails’ source, although intelligence agencies have pinned the blame on Moscow.
Last Thursday, Trump said in a statement that Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, would be alive if he had been president during the war.
Khan’s family has been backing Clinton and has harshly condemned Trump’s call for temporarily banning Muslims entering the United States.
“I don’t understand how anyone would want to rub salt in the wounds of a grieving family,” the fist lady said.
The day ended with the plane of Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, sliding off the slippery runway at New York’s La Guardia Airport. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
