In a presidential campaign notable for its negativity, the option of "Neither" candidate appears to be an appealing alternative, at least to participants in the Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.And order was restored with Hillary surging into the lead.
Many voters on both sides have been ambivalent in their support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, complicating the task of the pollsters trying to track the race.
That sentiment may help explain an apparent skew that recently emerged in the Reuters/Ipsos poll results. Given the choice, a relatively large group of voters opted for "Neither/Other" candidate compared with other major polls, leading to an underreporting of several percentage points for one or other of the two major contenders at times in the race.
As a result, Reuters/Ipsos is amending the wording of the choice and eliminating the word "Neither," bringing the option in line with other polls.
Hillary Clinton struggled to fight back a coughing fit while campaigning in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.
"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."
The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary.
However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.
After the event, campaign aides attributed it to allergies.
Comment: Real war crimes have yet to be taken seriously by the ICC in The Hague. One example is war criminal Tony Blair, who is still a free man as the ICC would not prosecute him for war crimes he committed in Iraq.
In the world we live in, real criminals roam free, while great leaders or officials are demonized, prosecuted, jailed, or often killed.

"I began studying, figuring out what's going on there. I found one story after the other. Then I started thinking about the 39 United Nations resolutions begging, demanding and imploring Israel to vacate the Occupied Territories," he said in an interview to Haaretz, adding that his sudden political U-turn made his critics think that he is not "fully in my right mind anymore".
