Explosive Trump Repeats Call To Jail Clinton

PUEBLO, United States, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Oct, 2016 ) : Hillary Clinton on Wednesday slammed rival Donald Trump's "pure negativity" in their bitter presidential race, as he adopted an increasingly incendiary tone and renewed his call for the Democratic nominee to go to jail.

With less than four weeks before Election Day, and Clinton maintaining her edge in national polls, the pair bore down on key battleground states where the race is likely to be decided. Trump slammed his opponent, declaring her a criminal who should be prosecuted for endangering national security by using a private email account while secretary of state, and deleting some 33,000 messages that Clinton said were personal and not work-related.

"After getting the subpoena to give over your emails and lots of other things, she deleted the emails," a fired-up Trump told supporters in Lakeland, Florida. "She has to go to jail," he added, to rousing cheers.

"Based on her crimes, she should not be allowed to run for president. It's time for a new direction," he said, to chants of "Lock her up!" from the crowd. Trump made similar remarks hours earlier in Ocala, another city in the crucial central region of Florida near Orlando.

"Whether I win, lose or draw, I'm ashamed of what's happened to our country, and so are you," he said. Trump is facing intense outside opposition and a wave of anger from fellow Republicans for vile remarks he made about women that were caught on a hot mic in 2005, and made public last Friday.

With his support teetering, the candidate appeared ready to unleash scorched-earth tactics against Clinton, as he did to a degree in their second debate on Sunday, when he reminded the nation of former president Bill Clinton's infidelities and threatened to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton if he wins the election.

He also went negative once more on Paul Ryan, after the House speaker told fellow Republican lawmakers that he could no longer defend or campaign with Trump. "Already the Republican nominee has a massive disadvantage and especially when you have the leaders not putting their weight behind the people," Trump said, angry that Ryan failed to congratulate him for his debate performance against Clinton Sunday.
