Clinton and Obama warn of dire consequences if Trump wins

Hillary Clinton painted a grim picture of life under a Donald Trump presidency Wednesday, warning undecided voters as the ever tighter White House race entered its final five-day stretch. 

Clinton made an optimistic choice in staging a huge rally in Arizona, a swing state she hopes to poach from the Republicans, but the Democrat’s tone was grim as she invited voters to envisage her defeat.

“Imagine it is January 20, 2016 and imagine that it is Donald Trump standing in front of the Capitol,” she told a 15,000-strong crowd in Tempe, triggering a chorus of boos for her Republican opponent.

“Imagine that he is taking the oath of office and then imagine that he is in the Oval Office making the decisions that affect your lives and your future,” she said.

The note of caution was echoed by President Barack Obama, who warned voters that America’s very future was at stake. He will duel with Trump on Thursday when they hold rival rallies in Florida.

“The fate of the republic rests on your shoulders,” he declared in North Carolina, one of a handful of swing states where the race will be decided.

“The fate of the world is teetering and you, North Carolina, are going to have to make sure that we push it in the right direction,” Obama declared.
