Hillary Clinton has 100 days to make her case to voters about why they should choose her in November.
“We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet”, Clinton said via video Tuesday night at the end of the second day of the DNC. Campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said the newly disclosed breach affected a Democratic National Committee voter analysis program used by the campaign and other organizations.
Donald Trump enjoyed a bump in the polls immediately following the Republican National Convention (RNC) last week.
Polls find that most Americans question Clinton’s honesty.
Republican candidate Donald Trump, an outspoken critic of trade deals such as NAFTA and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, hopes to make inroads among working class voters in declining industrial states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio and MI.
“Donald Trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in decline”, she said. “We have a quality assurance system to make sure we continue”.
“Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with their future”.
“They knew they didn’t want one person, one man to have the power and might be king”, Clinton said. ‘How would your father do that?’ she wanted to know.
Meanwhile, Clinton said Trump is offering America “empty promises” and what she called ‘bigotry and bombast’. But what will it actually take to be the next president of the United States?
The celebratory mood of this week’s Democratic convention spilled over into Friday as Clinton boarded her blue campaign bus, wrapped with the slogan “Stronger Together”, to open a three-day bus tour through the Rust Belt battlegrounds of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
To execute this strategy, Clinton and her top aides are looking to press an argument that opposing Trump is not just the right thing to do, but the patriotic decision, something they feel will resonate with longtime Republicans who are disenchanted with Trump.
A separate Reuters/Ipsos survey that provided respondents with the option to choose from Clinton, Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, has Clinton and Trump tied at 37 percentage points.
She is pitching for disgruntled working class voters, who have formed the backbone of Trump’s base, and is trashing the real estate mogul for making so many of his products overseas and for alienating women, Hispanics and Muslims.
Joined on the bus tour by her husband, former U.S. president Bill Clinton, running mate Tim Kaine and his wife Anne Holton, Mrs Clinton stopped at a toy and plastics manufacturer in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, where she and Mr Kaine cast Mr Trump as a con artist out for his own gain.
The so-called “rustbelt” states are vital parts of nearly any strategy to garner the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presid- ency.
“I’ve been nice. But after watching that performance last night, such lies I don’t have to be so nice anymore”, said Trump.
