Clinton looks past Trump
- New poll gives her 12 points lead
- Trump vows to create 50m jobs, says he will sue all sexual accusers
- Adult film actress accuses the GOP candidate of sexual advances
Using her most dismissive language of the campaign, Clinton, buoyed by a new poll that gave het 12 point lead over her rival Donald Trump, said Saturday she is now more focused on electing other Democrats in the final days of the 2016 campaign than her Republican opponent.
"I debated him for four and a half hours. I don't even think about responding to him anymore," Clinton said when asked about Trump's charge of a media conspiracy.
"He can say whatever he wants to. He can run his campaign however he wants to, he can go off on tangents, he can go to Gettysburg and say he's gonna sue women who've made accusations against him. I'm going to keep talking about what we want to do."
Clinton leads the Manhattan real estate mogul by 50 percent to 38 percent in a four-way contest with two minor party candidates, according to a national ABC News poll. That was up from Clinton's four percentage point edge in an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted 10 days ago.
Trump has tried to change the narrative, on Saturday outlining his plan for his first 100 days in office, including a pledge to create 25 million jobs and cut taxes for middle-class Americans.
He again promised to sue every woman who had accused him of sexual assault or inappropriate behaviour as soon as his presidential campaign was over.
Before his speech in Gettysburg, Trump said the media were fabricating stories to make him "look as bad and dangerous as possible".
Eleven women have come forward to accuse him of inappropriate behaviour, in the weeks since a video emerged of him boasting of groping women and kissing them. Trump has denied all accusations as outright lies to derail his campaign.
On Saturday, Jessica Drake, an adult film actor, accused Trump of pressuring her to have sex with him 10 years ago when they met at a golf tournament.
After that, she said a man, possibly Trump, called her to offer her $10,000 if she would have sex with him, which she declined. Trump's campaign said the accusations were false.
Trump, 70, said he was being attacked because he was an outsider who had never previously run for office, which he argues is a virtue.
"The fact that Washington and the Washington establishment has tried so hard to stop our campaign is only more proof that our campaign represents the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime," he said.
