Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump on Thursday of fuelling America's "radical fringe" with racist rhetoric, even as her Republican rival sought to soften his image with an appeal to minorities. Trump, whose support comes mainly from whites, is unlikely to be victorious unless he can cut into that support. "Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia," Clinton said in a scathing speech in Nevada. "When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument: You're racist, you're racist, you're racist," Trump told a crowd in Manchester, New Hampshire. Trump said the Clinton attacks were not only an assault on him, but on all his supporters - people, he said, who want strong borders and security.
