Since the FBI's announcement of further investigation into Hilary Clinton's emails, the Washington Post and ABC America's polls have shown Donald Trump taking a wafer thin lead, his first since May.


Toe tasi le vaiaso faia palota mo le tofi peresitene o Amerika ae foliga mai ua see laititi i luma le lagolagoina o le sui o le Republicans Donald Trump mai le sui tauva o le Democrats, Hillary Clinton.

 

O le poll na faatautaia le ABC America ma le Washington Post na maitauina ai le see laititi i luma o Trump i le pasene e tasi talu ona faailoa maia e le FBI le faaauauina o a latou suesuega i le auala na faaoga ai e Hilary Clinton lana imeli ae o avea ma failautusi aoao. .

 

O le vaiaso nei na faatitino le campaign a Hillary Clinton i le Setete o Florida, lea o loo toatele ai tagata sa lagolago i le Reps, ae ua solitu mai le sui tauva o DonaldTrump.

 

I se tasi o rallies, na tulai ai se tamaitai na umia le faailoga o le Miss Universe Alicia Macado, o seisi o tamaitai na tuuaia Donald Trump i lafoga tau faifai i le itupa o tamaitai....

 

MACADO

 

"He told me that I looked ugly, I was massive. He even called me names. He said to me, 'Miss Piggy,' 'Miss Housekeeping,' 'Miss Eating Machine.' Like all of you, I'm excited to be voting in this election. And you know what? I could not be more proud to cast my first presidential vote for Hillary Clinton."

 

E pei o le mataupu lenei o loo faamanatu pea e Hilary Clinton e faatosina atu ai le palota a le tiupa o tamaitai ia te ia...

 

CLINTON

 

"Maybe for some of you, it's about what he said about a judge, born in Indiana, 'Well, we can't trust him, because his parents were born in Mexico.' And then Trump went on to attack a Gold Star (war veteran's) family. He sure has spent a lot of time demeaning, degrading, insulting, and assaulting women. Can we just stop for a minute and reflect on the absurdity of Donald Trump finding fault with Miss Universe?"

 

O se tasi o loo galue malosi i le campaign a Hilary Clinton o le peresitene Barack Obama.

 

Na saunoa le peresitene i Ohio, e matua le agavaa DTrump e avea ma peresitene o Amerika.

 

OBAMA

 

"I want you to focus on the choice that you face in this election. Donald Trump is uniquely unqualified to be president. He is temperamentally unfit to be commander-in-chief."

 

Ae na faia le campaign a Donald Trump i Pennsylvania ma Wisconsin i le vaiaso nei.

 

O setete ia na palota mo Barack Obama i faigapalota e 2 ua tuana'i.

 

E ova i le $25 million ua faaalu e Trump e faatosina atu ai tagata ia sa masani ona palota i le Democrats, e palota mo ia i le vaiaso a sau.

 

I le rally i Pennsylvania, na saunoa le running mate a DTrump, Mike Pence,

 

PENCE

 

"With Hillary Clinton, we'll get more of the same from the last 7 1/2 years -- more taxes, more spending, more regulation and more Obamacare. I mean, we can't trust Hillary Clinton with our healthcare any more than we can trust her with classified information." (cheering ...)

 

Na saunoa Donald Trump o nisi tulafono na faatulaga i lalo o le faiga malo a Obama, e pei o le Obamacare, o le soloia vave i le taimi e tulai mai ai i le tofi peresitene o Amerika....

 

TRUMP

 

"We will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare. That's a deal. I will ask Congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace. We must cut our ties with the small, bitter, petty politics of the past. I'm asking you to dream big, to push for bold change and to believe in a movement powered by our love for each other and our love for our country."

 

Na ia fautuaina foi tagata ua uma ona lafo a latou palota i Wisconsin, a faapea na palota mo Hillary Clinton e mafai lava ona toe suia............

"Wisconsin is one of several states where you can change your early ballot if you think you've made a mistake. A lot of stuff has come out since you voted. So if you live here or in Michigan or Pennsylvania or Minnesota, you can change your vote to Donald Trump, we'll make America great again, okay?"
