Hillary points out Trump’s fundamental violation of the agreement between employee and employer – you do the work, you get paid – something Donald Trump doesn’t keep his word on.
Trump continues to have a Hispanic problem in the polls, and the campaign is starting to seem desperate. Trump claims the New York Times cannot be fair towards him because the paper is owned by a Mexican, and the mostly-quiet-until-now GOP Hispanics released a video attempting to win back some voters via vague talk about terrorism being the Democrats’ fault.
