Trump makes a pitch for CT, a Democratic stronghold

“When my tax returns are released, it’s going to be a quick read”, Pence said Saturday in an interview on WABC Radio, adding that he is also in the process of completing his financial disclosure forms as required under federal law.

Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump listen as he speaks during a campaign rally at Sacred Heart University, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016, in Fairfield, Conn. “Maybe we’ll start thinking about taking their press credentials away from them”.

At a recent rally in North Carolina, an 11-year-old boy told Pence he appears to be “softening” Trump, and asked the running mate: “Is this your role?” He incited the crowd in CT to jeer the reporters more than a half-dozen times in the first minutes of his rally.

Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence on Saturday hinted that he may release his tax returns before election day, breaking strides with the party’s presidential nominee Donald Trump who has refused to do the same.

He bashed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as well as her husband’s infidelity, even saying that he was “so glad they kept the dress” that belonged to Monica Lewinsky and was presented as evidence of her affair with former President Bill Clinton.

Donald Trump is making an unusual foray into deep-blue CT.

CT has not been in Republican hands since George H.W. Bush won the state in 1988.

“I’m making a big play for CT”.

Trump has repeatedly suggested that he will compete in traditionally Democratic states.

Almost 5,000 people filled a gymnasium on the campus on Sacred Heart University.

On Saturday morning, at a campaign stop in his hometown, Columbus, Ind., Pence ignored questions from reporters about whether he would release his returns. Pence’s running mate, Donald Trump, said he will not release his tax returns because he is under an ongoing audit.

“I couldn’t be more honored to be campaigning shoulder-to-shoulder with a man who I believe is going to be the next president of the United States”, the IN governor told Fox Sunday News.

Pence was eager to contrast Clinton’s return with what he promises the American public will see on his taxes.

In a campaign appearance Saturday at St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, New Hampshire, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine urged supporters not to let favorable polling and positive punditry make them complacent when it comes to voting for the Democratic ticket.

He also pointed to certain details in Clinton’s economic plan, which include introducing “the most comprehensive plan to increase jobs since WWII”, within the first 100 days.
