Clinton’s positions on those issues, Sanders said, clearly showed that she was the best candidate.

At last week’s Democratic National Convention, Pakistan-born Khan told his son’s story and questioned whether Trump had ever read the Constitution and said “you have sacrificed nothing”. She also made a direct appeal to those who had supported him.
The Democratic presidential ticket took a victory lap through the Midwest after what was, by and large, a successful convention, in a three-day bus tour that also illustrated her challenges in closing the deal with voters who have deep-seated mistrust of Washington. She roved among platitudes, denunciations of Trump, biography, policies, a call-and-response chant and even a mention of the musical “Hamilton”.
“What part of America first leads Trump to make Trump dress shirts in Bangladesh not Ashland, Pennsylvania”, said Clinton. Everything he make, he makes somewhere else besides America. “I’m telling you we’ve made progress but we have work to do”, Clinton said.
“And the accumulation of it all is just beyond my comprehension”, she added. “But we do resent people who take advantage of others in order to line their own pockets on the way up”.
The 2016 presidential campaign is one of the biggest events for Americans.
Almost 41 percent of those surveyed favored Clinton, 35 percent favored Trump, and 25 percent picked “Other”, according to the new July 25-29 online poll of 1,043 likely voters. And it’s a relief to Republicans who believe Clinton is unacceptably corrupt and who feared Trump’s unorthodox candidacy might deprive them an excellent chance to regain the White House and cost them seats in the House and Senate.
Clinton sees worldwide partnerships as essential tools for using American influence and lessening the chances of war.
She made clear that she had no intention of ceding economically discontented voters to Trump. “Both were things she needed to do in order to overcome negative perceptions about her candidacy”, West said. Helman was recently laid off and went on unemployment for a year before she found her current job at a community college working in mail services.
“Because he does not believe Donald Trump should be commander in chief”, Clinton said at an election rally in Pennsylvania.
Clinton, surrounded by factory equipment and spooled iron, attacked Trump’s business record and argued that the more people listen to the Republican nominee talk, the more they realize “he is not offering real change, he is offering empty promises”. “It’s the same group that refused to vote for (John) McCain when (Sarah) Palin was on the ticket”.
That’s not too far from the site of Clinton’s Sunday stop, the last on a post-election bus tour through Pennsylvania and OH that included a delayed Saturday night appearance in Youngstown. She is all about the children. Her being the first female American president, too, would also be historic.
Suffice it to say that we have never seen a presidential election quite like this one, nor candidates quite like these. “We’re talking to people, meeting people who have each other’s backs”.
While his Democratic opponents were driving through the Rust Belt to sell their economic message this weekend, Trump had become embroiled in yet another controversy.
The success of the Democratic National Convention and of Clinton’s well-crafted acceptance speech will be measured in the short term by the polls.
“They’re a Gold Star family”.
“I want everybody to be lifted up”. This poll has Trump leading Clinton by 18 percent among independents, 46 percent to 28 percent.
“I’m going to do a couple of things”, the Vermont Senator said in a CBS interview on Sunday.
Making a direct pitch to lower-income and middle-class Americans, Clinton pledged to focus on areas of the country “left out and left behind” and “places hollowed out by plant closures”.

Retired Gen. John Allen says Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has “no credibility” to criticize him about the US battle against Islamic State militants. Donald Trump is trying to send that bit of conventional wisdom to the scrap heap. “We’ve got to make this economy work for everyone – not just those at the top”.
