“Now, they tried to make his old, exhausted ideas sound new”, Clinton said.

On Monday, Pence extolled Trump’s candidacy for the White House before the real estate tycoon detailed his plans for jump-starting a stagnant economy and slashing taxes for middle-class families, heirs and corporations.
That detail was included in the highlights package distributed by his campaign for a major economic speech today, although the speech itself made no mention of the pipeline.
“She is the candidate of the past”, Trump said.
Trump stuck to prepared remarks rather than the freewheeling style that often produces controversial comments at rallies. Trump proposed reducing federal income tax rates to 10%, 20% and 25%, which is a proposal that nonpartisan groups assessed would add trillions of dollars to the national debt.
On the worldwide stage, Trump called for the U.S.to renegotiate its North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico and pull out altogether from the Trans Pacific Partnership.
In fact if there’s a common theme to this most recent wave of GOP dissenters, it’s just how eerily close they sound to Hillary Clinton’s talking points. “He saw that Donald Trump wanted to be complimented [so] he complimented him”, said Morell during an interview on ABC’s This Week. “Hillary Clinton’s Trans Pacific Partnership will be even bigger and even worse than NAFTA”. Third, Collins pointed to Trump’s criticism of the family of a dead American soldier.
“No one will pay so much that it destroys jobs, or undermines our ability as a nation to compete”, he said at the Detroit Economic Club, in a speech that was repeatedly interrupted by protesters. Clinton said she will put coal miners out of business.
House Speaker Paul Ryan is being asked about the Green Bay Packers, not his Republican primary, during a campaign swing.
Clinton said that, despite the Trump campaign’s attempt to use his speech Monday to pivot away from a week of controversy, “there is no other Donald Trump”.
Clinton’s decision to store her emails on a private server in her NY home sparked an FBI investigation and has become a dominant issue in the presidential campaign.
Trump’s remarks, which were repeatedly cheered by the crowd, appeared targeted at both an affluent business community and working people, in particular those who have suffered from a decline in US manufacturing in cities such as Detroit. “And it’s the only logical conclusion”.
It would increase federal, state and local tax revenues by nearly USD 6 trillion dollars over four decades and increase total economic activity by more than USD 20 trillion over the next 40 years, he said.
Clinton has proposed raising taxes on the highest-income earners, including a surcharge on multimillionaires, but analysts have found lower-income earners would see little change beyond measures like additional tax credits for expenses like out-of-pocket health care costs.

Trump’s new proposal would reduce tax rates for most Americans and simplify the tax code, but the new rates Trump proposed mark an increase from those he proposed a year ago as he campaigned for the Republican nomination and touted his tax reform plan as offering the lowest income tax rates of any of his GOP opponents.
