" He said unless Clinton vowedcontact.commitmentpromiseexpressintent.correspondenceto get money out of politics , he was n't sure he could vote for her in November .

John McCain , to the family of a dead Muslim - American soldier , to a federal judge , to President Obama . Trump ’s ignorance of the issues is manifest .

Obamacare would be repealed and replaced with “ something great . ” His signature proposal is to construct a wall along the southern border of the United States — and have Mexico pay the billions of dollars involved .

Trump ’s support among blacks hovers near 5 % , compared with nearly 89 % support for Clinton . For all of Trump ’s jabs at Clinton and President Obama as having failed black voters , African Americans overwhelmingly view Obama favorably , based on numerous polls . Since Trump launched his campaign last year , his inflammatory rhetoric about Mexicans — calling them “ rapists ” and drug runners — has been assailed by Democrats and Republicans alike as he ’s also vowedcontact.commitmentpromiseexpressintent.correspondenceto build a wall along the U.S .- Mexico border .

Perhaps out of sheer spite for his selected number two ’s echoing the opinion of a woman he has vowedcontact.commitmentpromiseexpressintent.broadcastto imprison if elected , Trump admitted that he has n’t “ spoken ” to Pence and “ disagrees ” with this policy .
