Worse than Watergate.
That's how Donald Trump described Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of State.
“Her conduct is disqualifying,” Trump told thousands of cheering supporters in Greenville, N.C.
Ben Carson has a response to all the criticism Donald Trump has faced over his vow to deport an estimated 11 million people in the United States illegally: Forget he ever said it.
Trump was battling fellow Republicans in the race for the party's presidential nomination when he called for the mass deportations. Now that the general election campaign is underway, Carson told CNN on Tuesday, those comments barely matter.
"It’s relatively irrelevant at this point because it is what it is,” said the retired neurosurgeon and Trump supporter who competed against him for the nomination. “He is the nominee, and has to come up with rational and workable plans, has to work with various advisors and experts in terms of the best way to do this.”
Echoing conservative conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s health, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein tweeted, then deleted a message about the Democratic nominee’s coughing on the campaign trail.
“#HackingHillary, here's my prescription: Take a #JillChillPill and stop campaigning altogether to ensure global peace. #PagingDrStein," wrote Stein, a physician, before the tweet was deleted.
Conservative media and Donald Trump have seized upon Clinton’s health, with the GOP presidential nominee frequently questioning her stamina and strength and going after her for a coughing spell during a rally Monday. Her campaign attributed it to allergies.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times editorial board, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein addressed her stances on such issues as healthcare, climate change and America's two-party system, her past comments on Wi-Fi and running mate Ajamu Baraka's remarks that President Obama was an "Uncle Tom."
Here's an excerpt:
L.A. Times editorial board: "You’ve said in the past that the Democrats and Republicans are two corporate parties that have basically converged into one. ... How can you really argue that the two candidates are the same, if you think they are, and how can you call on people to vote for you if that could conceivably lead to a [Donald] Trump election?"
Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who has been a top Republican critic of Donald Trump, pledged Tuesday to continue denouncing the GOP presidential nominee if he did not stop insulting women, the disabled, minorities and other groups.
“I’m not OK with that, and I’m going to keep speaking out until he changes the tone of his campaign,” Flake said in a statement to the Arizona Republic newspaper. "If he refuses to do so, Republicans will lose a lot more than the election in November."
Flake’s words come after a testy back-and-forth between the two men over Labor Day weekend.
We've updated our electoral map.
You can see the old map above. The new one is here.
As you can see, not much has changed since we updated the map in early August -- just one state, in fact.
Hillary Clinton asked supporters to pause a moment on Tuesday to remember some of Donald Trump's comments about veterans.
Trump "disrespects our military leaders by saying, and I quote, 'I know more about ISIS than the generals do,'" she said, reprising the Republican nominee's remarks from last year about how he would combat Islamic State terrorists. Democrats and the Clinton campaign have used those comments in television advertisements airing in several battleground states.
Clinton, while revving supporters in Tampa, Fla., lambasted Trump, who received several deferments that kept him from serving in Vietnam, on national security and veterans issues, a day before the two are set to appear at a forum hosted by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Donald Trump sat down with retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a supporter, in Virginia Beach, home to a large population of veterans at whom the talk was targeted. The event was billed as a town hall, but Flynn asked all of the questions.
He said that the American people don't care about his tax returns. ... I just think he's dead wrong.
