Vice President Joe Biden said Monday he would have stopped his late son from serving in the military if Donald Trump was president and controlled deployments.

“I believe a different future – and something we can try to reach an agreement on, rather than watch each other through the crosshairs – is ahead for us” Vucic said.
Some moments in our common history were very painful, Biden said, adding that he was pleased a new chapter had been opened in Serbia-U.S. relations.
Biden also highlighted Clinton’s foreign policy credentials, saying she’s been tested on an global stage while serving as secretary of state.
“Hillary has forgotten more about American foreign policy then Trump and his entire team will ever understand”, Biden said.
Biden heaped praise on Clinton, touting their shared working class roots and invoking the significance Clinton’s presidency will have on women and girls seeking higher office.
When Biden said of Clinton, “I’ve known her for over 30 years”, he did not suggest they are close chums.
Clinton holds a commanding nine-point lead against Trump in Pennsylvania, where some polls show her outpacing the GOP nominee by double digits, according to the RealClearPolitics average.
“I’m excited there’s going to be a female president”, she said.
Before he took the stage to huge cheers, Clinton took the unusual role of the warm-up act, describing her father’s origins in Scranton and her own personal story growing up in a middle class family.
Biden was the first high-ranking USA official to make such a gesture following NATO’s intervention in the Kosovo conflict, which led to the ethnic Albanian-majority region’s declaration of independence from Serbia in 2008. Scholars estimate that under Stalin, more than 1 million people were executed in political purges and millions more died as a result of harsh labor and cruel treatment in the vast gulag prison camp system.
US Vice President Joe Biden has trashed Donald Trump as unqualified for the White House, saying the Republican presidential nominee’s “shame has no limits”.
“This guy doesn’t care about the middle class”, Biden said. “And to repeat myself, (it) is such a bunch of malarkey”.
“I could not be prouder to stand with Vice President Biden in this fight, and as president, I will take up the charge”. “This is an American presidential candidate”.
He says, “It will change their lives”.
Clinton took to the stage first and told the crowd when Biden chose to join her on the campaign trail, the first stop on tour was a “no-brainer” because they wanted to come home.

Clinton also touched on the violence overnight in Milwaukee saying “we’ve got urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities and get back to the fundamental principle: everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law”. “Those are the main reasons”, Aleksandra Belacic said, explaining the party’s position on Biden. “She’s always been there”. Clinton smiled and hugged Biden at the end of his frequently ad-libbed remarks, but there were no arms-raised poses for photographs, and each raced off-stage separately to greet relatives, friends, and well-wishers.
