She slammed Mr Trump’s “casual cruelty to a gold star family”, referring to the billionaire’s clash with the parents of a Muslim American soldier who was killed in action. When he visited Detroit on Monday he talked only of failure, poverty and crime.
She spoke in rust-belt MI at Futuramic Tool & Engineering – an auto parts supplier that remade itself into an aerospace company – to stress the kinds of advanced manufacturing jobs we need to help rebuild America’s middle class.
Clinton also attacked Republican rival Donald Trump’s tax proposals, saying they will benefit him personally as well as some of the richest taxpayers in the United States.

“I can provide serious, steady leadership that can find common ground and build on it based on hard but respectful bargaining”, she said. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.
