The last night of the Democratic convention – and at a Clinton-Kaine rally Friday – U.S. flags were highly visible, an apparent fix put in place before a Donald Trump-fueled problem got out of hand. Tim Kaine debuted as the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket by kicking off a bus tour through OH and Pennsylvania to highlight a plan to make the biggest U.S.jobs investment since World War II.

Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, have added a stop in Cleveland to their post-Democratic National Convention bus tour in Pennsylvania and OH, while Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is countering with a Monday town hall meeting in Columbus.
He also argued that Kaine is “not popular” in his home state of Virginia, considering that unemployment almost doubled in his one term as governor and that his first move after getting elected to the post in 2005 was to increase taxes by $4 billion.
The bus trip is meant to highlight Clinton’s pledge to add new jobs, raise wages and promote homegrown manufacturing. They each spoke at Johnstown Wire Technologies in Johnstown, PA. Mitt Romney won the rural western Pennsylvania county in 2012.
Clinton is uniquely tied to the administration of Barack Obama, though.
As it approached the old factory, Clinton’s bright blue bus – which her campaign made sure to tell reporters was made in America – rolled past a small but loud group of Trump supporters holding campaign signs and chanting on the roadside in a lashing rain.
“We have to go over some numbers”, he said at a rally in Denver, a liberal stronghold. “We’ve got to make this economy work for everyone – not just those at the top”.
Clinton says she was afraid she might cry after seeing her daughter, Chelsea, on stage. “It’s the workers and the builders”.
“Leadership is getting on a bus and going city-to-city to talk and connect with people and listen to what is important to them”, Cuban said. The state has voted Democrat in each presidential election from 1992 forward, including for both terms of President Bill Clinton, based largely on Democratic strength in cities and union households.
A night after accepting her party’s nomination to become the first woman to lead a major US party, Clinton was greeted by a packed auditorium at Temple University.
“We’ve got work to do”. I don’t think we’re in decline. I take deeply and with great humility what this campaign imposes on us.
The Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign says Clinton and Kaine will have a 2:45 p.m. rally Sunday.

“These are the folks that we know that Donald Trump is targeting, but we are convinced that we have the plans that will actually speak to those lingering economic anxieties that those voters face”, said Brian Fallon, Clinton’s press secretary, at a press conference Monday.
