FLETCHER, N.C. _ Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told supporters in North Carolina on Friday that he will bring jobs back if he is elected, and said businesses won't move positions abroad.
"Your companies won't be leaving N.C. under a Trump administration," he said. "There will be consequences."
Trump said he has been working hard campaigning, holding several rallies a day. He appeared subdued.
"Win, lose or draw _ and I will win _ I will be happy with myself," Trump said. "I never want to look back and say, 'If only I did one more rally. I never want to look back, I never want to say that about myself."
Trump did not address whether he would support the result of the election if he loses.
Trump criticized Hillary Clinton for allegedly receiving a debate question in advance from Donna Brazile, who was a CNN contributor. Brazile has suggested the hacked email was forged, Politico reported.
Trump said the media has been critical of Brazile, but said Clinton should be asked why she accepted the question. He said if he had received a question in advance, he would have been "given a more sinister version of the electric chair."
He cited Charles Van Doren, who had been given questions in advance on the quiz show "Twenty One" in the late 1950s.
"(He) got the questions in advance and his life was ruined," Trump said. "Can you imagine if I got the questions and they found out?"
He added: "Why aren't they asking Hillary?"
He accused her of being the most corrupt person to seek the presidency. The crowd then began chanting, "Lock her up! Lock her up!"
Trump told the crowd, "Let's win, let's win." Then he said he and his supporters can "explore their options."
The Brazile allegation came from a Wikileaks release of e-mails from Clinton's campaign chief, John Podesta.
"Boy we love Wikileaks," Trump said.
He said the Podesta emails also showed Clinton has "great hostility towards Catholics, towards evangelicals. The evangelicals and the people of faith � I think they will be voting for us."
"He speaks his mind," said Shirley Sales of Fletcher, who showed up early. "It's about time we had somebody speak for me. It's time for a change."
Warming up the crowd for the Republican presidential candidate: Charles Taylor, formerly the longtime GOP congressman from western North Carolina, and N.C. Republican Party Chairman Robin Hayes.
Hayes criticized the "liberal media," which brought a chorus of boos from the crowd.
And a group of local sheriffs and other law enforcement won applause when they said it was time for a "new sheriff to be elected in Washington."
U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows, the only current GOP member of Congress to show up, greeted the crowd with "Hello, deplorables!", alluding to Clinton's description of "half" of Trump supporters.
He urged them to vote early, setting out chants of "Trump!" and "U-S-A!"
Many of those at the rally appeared as much anti-Clinton as pro-Trump.
"She's a crook," said Larry Peters, a retiree from Fairview in Buncombe County.
His wife Trudi, a former schoolteacher, agreed. Clinton, she said, "is evil."
In advance of Trump's campaign event in Fletcher, Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer criticized the candidate in a statement.
"What we heard on the debate stage on Wednesday should deeply trouble all Americans. After spending months attacking different ethnic and religious groups, Donald Trump, in an act of desperation, has now attacked the very legitimacy of this election," Manheimer said. "I'm proud to stand with Americans from across the political spectrum, including the Republican Party of North Carolina, in condemning this unprecedented attack on a pillar of our democracy."
