MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- With the cloud of an FBI investigation lifted, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump struck strikingly different tones as they moved into the final hours of a volatile, nearly two-year-long presidential campaign.
After days of full-throated attacks on Trump's qualifications and temperament, Clinton cast herself as the candidate of "healing and reconciliation" - perhaps a surprising position for a woman who's long been one of the most divisive figures in American politics.
She started her Sunday with a visit to an African-American church in Philadelphia, where she spoke of her candidacy in almost spiritual terms, as she tried to motivate black voters in the crucial swing state to support her. And she ended with an evening rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, featuring remarks from Khizr Khan, the Muslim-American lawyer whose Army captain son was killed in Iraq, and soft rock from folk singer James Taylor.
"This election is a moment of reckoning," she told voters on Sunday night. "It is a choice between division and unity, between strong, steady leadership and a loose cannon who could put everything at risk." Clinton said she was "hopeful and optimistic" about the future.

Seems the media likes to blend her in with her husband as a single "divisive" entity because the RW loons say so.

(129,459 posts)There used to be a time when candidates could get literal "landslides" in a Presidential election - and several elections pre-1980 show that. But then something happened after Raygun and now everything is a "horse race" and if it isn't, the media will make sure to promote falsehoods and other nonsense in order to make it into one.
