00:23of color and sees them only as votes, that's all they care about, Trump said in remarks

00:29delivered not far from Milwaukee, the latest city to be overcome by violence in the wake

00:34of a police shooting.

00:35Trump, who is lagging behind in the polls, accused Clinton of being on the side of the

00:58Apple's FaceTime, Microsoft's Skype and Facebook's Messenger app.

01:03Duo isn't much different from the other video chatting services, except that it gives a

01:08glimpse at who is making the call, helping the recipient decide whether to answer.
