“This should not be a hard decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day”. She admitted that trade deals of the past have not lived up to the expectations that were set when they were approved.

“But the answer is not to rant and rave – or to cut ourselves off from the world”, Clinton said. “That would kill even more jobs”. Clinton in recent weeks has made a point of stopping at small businesses in swing states where she’s recounted his history of manufacturing products overseas, hiring foreign workers over US citizens and refusing to pay some contractors.
Trump has followed in the footsteps of Clinton’s primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, and blamed Clinton for existing trade laws that progressives say have undermined American workers. “I don’t know.” Some saw the remarks as a joke about Clinton being assassinated, a claim that the Trump campaign has denied.
Mrs. Clinton on Thursday said she would do more than previous administrations to enforce protections that are included in existing trade deals.
“It is true that past trade deals have been sold to the American people” in a rosy shade ‘that did not pan out’.
“I am determined that we’re going to build more and we’re going to be able to create more businesses and more jobs”, Clinton said.
“His approach is based on fear, not strength”, Clinton said.
Trump has consistently railed against American trade deals that he says take jobs out of the USA, though many Trump products are made outside of the country. It is key to Trump’s chance of carrying MI in November.
Clinton told a cheering audience, ‘It was like he was in a different place.’ She said, ‘He talked only of failure and poverty and crime – he is missing so much about what makes MI great!’ In his own speech Trump promised to bring back jobs to Americans, slash taxes, and drastically reconfigure global free trade agreements. Trump has said he won’t release them until an IRS audit is complete, breaking traditional with every presidential candidate in recent history.
The Republican nominee said in his own economy speech in MI on Monday that he is “in favor of trade”. Her campaign says that never happened.
Blanchard says he has no doubt that Clinton will carry MI and win the election. And the same is true when he talks about our country. “He describes our country as an embarrassment”.
Trump “hasn’t offered any credible solutions for the very real economic challenges we face, ” Clinton said at Futuramic Tool & Engineering in Warren. ‘That doesn’t happen in third-world countries’.
But he seemed to acknowledge the risk his campaign – and party – was taking.
In contrasting her economic vision with Donald Trump’s on Thursday, Hillary Clinton slammed what she termed the “Trump Loophole”. He’s made Trump ties in China and Trump suits in Mexico instead of here in MI.
‘He’d pay a lower rate than millions of middle class families, ‘ she said. She wants to win the White House and give Democrats back control of Congress. Donald Trump is imploding on a daily basis.
Trump’s actual personal tax burden is unknown because he has broken with the long-standing tradition of presidential candidates and hasn’t yet released his tax returns for public review.
Donald Trump digs in as Hillary Clinton continues to go after Republican votes preparing for her major economic speech in Detroit Thursday.
She argued that Trump’s proposals on taxes, child care and easing government regulations would benefit only corporations and rich people like him.
The Republican’s plan would make childcare costs 100 percent tax deductible.
Hoping to keep the pressure up on Trump, Clinton is also planning to release her 2015 tax returns in the coming days.

Those that do pay income tax, do not typically itemize their deductions, the Washington Post points out. She has promised more money for education, a higher federal minimum wage and increased support for small businesses.
