Out of everyone that Clinton considered as a potential running mate, Kaine “wasn’t the person she knew the longest or knew the best”, said John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman.

And that’s why Clinton’s first campaign trip after last week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia zipped straight to the Mahoning Valley, where a host of Democratic voters in Ohio’s March primary crossed over and took a Republican ballot.

Midway through Clinton’s speech, a man was ejected for yelling: “Hillary Clinton is a war criminal!” “In this campaign, Hillary Clinton has broken new ground with her frank talk about the damaging effect of denying poor women basic reproductive healthcare”, wrote NARAL President Ilyse Hogue in a statement released Friday afternoon.
Hillary Clinton, standing on a metal working factory floor here in Western Pennsylvania, tried to cut into Donald Trump’s grip on white, working class voters by casting herself – not the businessman-turned-Republican nominee – as 2016’s change candidate.
Another hack came to light on Thursday, when four people familiar with the matter told Reuters the FBI is investigating a cyber attack against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. It’s been told by investigators the breach resembles the recent hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The hackers had access to the program for about five days.
The campaign also hopes his background in Virginia will give him the political dexterity to be an asset in campaign battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and OH, the two states being visited on this bus tour.
Still the issue is likely to linger among some Clinton supporters.
“It’s not so much that I’m on the ticket, it’s because of the stark choice that’s posed to Americans in this election”, she said. “Her speech was morning in America”. But he grew harsher as his event went on.
“Remember this”, he said, “Trump is going to be no more Mr. Nice Guy”. And for the first time he encouraged his crowd’s anti-Clinton chants of “lock her up”.
“I knew Ronald Reagan. His entire speech seemed more about insulting me than helping the American people”. Joined by running mate Sen. Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell said Trump has the potential to carry the state by attracting angry, traditionally Democratic voters who have been displaced from manufacturing jobs — although he said Clinton could offset such losses with gains in the suburbs and among independents in the state who may be turned off by Trump.
PHILADELPHIA – Hillary Clinton and Sen.
Clinton argued on Saturday that sometimes, because of the political back and forth, people “lose track with where we are” economically. Democrats hammered home those themes this week with an array of politicians, celebrities, gun-violence victims, law enforcement officers and activists of all races and sexual orientation.
Democrats contrasted their optimistic message with the more troubled vision of the state of the nation presented by Trump and others at the GOP convention a week earlier.
Tapper pressed Kaine, saying Mook told CNN otherwise.
The convention provided hours of glowing tributes, including deeply personal testimonials from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and former boss, President Barack Obama. No other right can be a “human right” once you say that some humans do not have the right on which all the rest depend – because then, you are saying that those rights belong to some humans, but not to all. “Your cause is our cause”. But Trump said Friday that Sanders “sold his soul to the devil” when he – unlike some of his loudly protesting supporters – threw his support behind Clinton.
