The Midwestern stop came amid a clash between Trump and a Muslim-American family who spoke against him at the Democratic National Convention.

In an op-ed for Syracuse.com, Hanna writes that Trump is deeply flawed in endless ways and unrepentant in all things before declaring: “While I disagree with her on many issues, I will vote for Mrs. Clinton”. When multiple outlets approached her to ask for more information about what she’d said, she refused to state her son’s age or name, only revealing that he’s a minor.
“Donald Trump’s demagoguery has undermined the fabric of our national character”, Whitman posted on Facebook about the Republican nominee.
The Republican heavyweights hope to enlist Trump’s children in the effort, according to the report.
Trump’s comments “create a clear and present danger”, says Hayden.
The Democratic convention last week featured several Republican speakers who pledged their support for Clinton, including Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Hillary Clinton received the backing of Rep. Richard Hanna of NY on Tuesday.
It became a frequent catchphrase of his during a low-water mark of his primary campaign this spring, when forces allied with Republican rival Ted Cruz managed to pack state delegations with supporters of the Texas senator. Clinton was a senator representing NY. The father, Khizr Khan, criticized Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric and said the real estate mogul has “sacrificed nothing and no one” for the country. She touched on the controversy herself on Twitter by writing that she’ll make history by getting Trump elected president. Trump says the money both of them have collected is evidence of “a movement”.
“There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before”.
Top Republican donor and fundraiser Meg Whitman has endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president, saying she can not support a candidate who has “exploited anger, grievance, xenophobia and racial division”.
Despite disagreeing with Clinton on “many issues”, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY) insists the alternative is too risky, making him the first Republican lawmaker to announce he’s supporting the Democratic nominee in November. Trump also told The Washington Post he wasn’t ready to commit to supporting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan or Sen.

And so far, McCain, Ryan and other Republicans who’ve reluctantly declared that they plan to back Trump for president appear to be sticking with him.
