On the Republican side, Dr. Susan Roberts with Davidson College explained,”You have people like Jeb Bush and [Mitt] Romney who have really been on the “Never Trump” side”.
She said she realizes that people often see a “caricature” of herself as a politician but that she hopes American voters will review her track record as a US senator and secretary of State.
Their policy differences are vast. As a potential vice president “I had to get comfortable with the notion that I can have my personal views but I’m going to support the president of the United States, and I will”. But we need to see a few more polls before we reach a firm conclusion on where the race stands and how the conventions influenced it. That group of voters has eluded Clinton and was perhaps a hard sell after a Democratic convention that heavily celebrated racial and gender diversity. Millions of people watched their prime-time speeches.
On Monday, after the Republican national convention in Cleveland, which he capped with a 75-minute speech dominated by the theme of law and order, Trump appeared to be enjoying his own post-convention bounce.
In this July 28, 2016 photo, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reacts after speaking during the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
“The senator is not personally for repeal of the Hyde Amendment”, a spokesman for the Clinton-Kaine campaign said.
“The most important thing is there is a bias for change and there’s an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll where people express that bias even when they don’t know what the change is going to be”, said Geoff Garin, a pollster who worked for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and now advises Priorities USA, a pro-Clinton super PAC.
Clinton has been trying to win back some of the white working-class voters who once made up a key piece of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition. Clinton’s early work included registering Mexican-Americans in the Rio Grande Valley to vote and investigating shortcomings in public school systems that prevented disabled youngsters from attending.
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons”, she says.
In Columbus, Kaine continued to weave compliments for Clinton with digs against Trump, and the candidates focused most of their remarks on promises to create new jobs.
It was the latest bitter rhetorical volley between the defiant Republican candidate, Clinton and the family of a fallen soldier since the two parties concluded their major conventions last week and the nation looked ahead to a close election this November. During the tour, they said in the first 100 days in office, they would announce to make the largest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II. “It’s not the whiners and the complainers and the insulters who move our country forward”, she said to applause.
The polls showed a bump for Trump coming out of the convention despite Texas Sen.
