“Now he’s accusing her of bigoted remarks – We think the American people will know which candidate is guilty of the charge”, spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement early Wednesday.

“The African-American community has been taken for granted for decades, and look how they are doing”, Trump said.
Two days after Donald Trump came to OH to lay out his foreign policy plan, Hillary Clinton is expected to tout her economic plan in Cleveland today – and sharply question Trump’s because it would give himself a $4 billion tax break, enough to provide health care for every veteran in OH, eliminate hundreds of thousands of Ohioans’ student loan debt, or build hundreds of new schools.
“Now think of what we can do with $4 billion in OH”, she said. “It sends the wrong message to friend and foe alike”.
Clinton has meticulously expanded her coalition by arguing that Trump was an aberration and outside the scope of conservative circle and ideology.
A strong candidate at the top of the ticket often helps their party’s down-ballot candidates, and top Democrats say they’ve never seen such a lopsided presidential contest. Authorities said Smith was stopped for acting suspiciously and was shot by police because he was carrying an illegal handgun and refused orders to drop it.
When asked if the officer did the right thing, Trump told Fox News: “If he believed the gun was pointed at his head, maybe ready to be fired, what is a person supposed to do? Just 19% of Trump voters grant that if Clinton wins the election it will be because she got more votes, while 71% say that it will just be because the election was rigged”. The violence continued, to a lesser degree, on Sunday night.
After claiming he would not take the African-American vote for granted, he continued his appeal as he accused Mrs Clinton of being against the police amid growing racial tensions in the country.
“I’m asking for the vote of every African- American citizen struggling in our country today who wants a different and much better future”.
Clinton won the Democratic nomination in part thanks to her large victory margins among minorities in almost every state, including overwhelming support from African-Americans in the South.
Trump’s own campaign rallies have at times featured violent clashes.
At the rally, Clinton suggested staffing changes won’t fix her rival’s campaign or change his past insults of the Muslim American parents of an Army Captain killed in Iraq, or incendiary comments about women and people with disabilities.
“So how are we serving these American victims by attacking law enforcement officers?”
When the crowd began to disperse after Trump spoke for 40 minutes, beginning an hour and a half after his 7:30 scheduled speaking time, she was the only black person in sight.
In addition to being the correct economic approach, Trump’s approach is also smart politics.
Polls show Mrs Clinton building a lead in the weeks since the summer nominating conventions.

In June, the same poll showed that 50 percent thought a President Trump would be better for their invested wealth, compared to 33 percent favoring Clinton.
