Launching their fall presidential campaigns with competing visits to the Cleveland area, Donald Trump said Monday he plans to attend all three scheduled debates against Hillary Clinton, while Clinton stressed her experience at the expense of the maverick NY businessman.
The plane is an American-manufactured Boeing 737 adorned with her slogan “Stronger Together” and “H” campaign logo and, in what is apparently not a design glitch, has enough space for the press corps to fly along with the Democratic candidate.
As for Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state, 53 percent said they were very or moderately confident that she would do a good job with NATO, ISIS and the rest. I am going to say no to rolling back collective bargaining. You’re going to have to get on line. He added that, although he was preparing, he was not holding any mock debate sessions. The margins are less than 4 points in other battleground states like Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina.
The debate may determine whether Mr Trump can overcome Ms Clinton’s wide advantage in fundraising and organisation, and close in on her in the final weeks of the race.
The plane was soon en route to Cleveland, the first of two cities the candidate plans to visit on Labor Day. Monday proved no exception.
Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, prepared to leave Cleveland as Clinton and Tim Kaine arrived. No Republican has won the White House without winning Ohio and Trump is trying to overcome some splintering in the state party, which was supportive of Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the presidential primary.
“Labor Day comes, and it’s kind of like a recalibration”, said Beth Myers, who managed Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign and served as his senior adviser in 2012. In fact, she seems to have been more vocal about all the things she doesn’t agree with Mr. Trump on as the campaign move forward.
“When you see what he has said and done in this campaign. Today, it feels like the start of the third quarter instead of the kickoff”. “The day he tweeted out ‘Hillary didn’t come to Mexico, does she have the energy.’ She was here in OH talking to the American legion”.
Clinton dismissed conspiracy theories about her health that have festered, in part, because of her coughing attacks. In a recent appearance on Fox News, former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani encouraged viewers to search for “Hillary Clinton illness” online. “Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump”. And Obama’s coming down a metal staircase, I guarantee you was made in China.
Both Clinton and Trump have been locked in an intense back-and-forth throughout the summer.
But after a few days of rest from campaigning, Clinton coughed her way through portions of her Cleveland remarks.
Most polls show Clinton with huge unfavorability numbers. “Because the president of Mexico said, ‘Itold him in the meeting, we weren’t paying for that wall, ‘” Clinton said.
Clinton’s surrogates were also out in force.
LISA DESJARDINS: And the man Kaine a hopes to replace, Vice President Biden, on the day’s theme.
“I support Hillary Clinton”.
While Trump said unequivocally in his immigration address last week that undocumented immigrants could not obtain legal status without leaving the U.S., he did not reissue his call for deporting all undocumented immigrants. “He really does believe that the problem is American workers are lazy”.

Clinton supporters, meanwhile, fanned out across the country on the Monday holiday.
