Kaine to Address Ironworkers’ Union, With Help From Dad

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine on Monday opened a new line of attack on Donald Trump, saying the Republican’s tax plan would benefit “debt-fueled” real estate investors such as himself. “Nevada is really, really important”. Iron Crafters made bicycle racks, ornamental balconies and dress racks for department stores, and Tim Kaine has said he would often get up early Saturday mornings to pitch in at the shop.

Kaine framed Trump as unstable and highlighted cases in which the Republican’s interests stiffed small businesses they were working with, as reported by The Wall Street Journal and others.

Trump has bucked long-held convention by not releasing his tax returns.

The five-point plan – outlined earlier in the day by Hillary Clinton – is created to put an emphasis on the economy, a top issue in the race, even in Colorado where the unemployment rate ranks near the bottom in the nation.

“We’re learning about all the debts that he’s run up”, Kaine said. “I’d rather be us than them”.

Trump has also said that Clinton would implement the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal if she’s elected.

The presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is reportedly stepping up fundraising efforts.

“As a restaurant owner I also need a president who can keep our economy strong because when our economy is strong, our customers keep coming back”, Dougan said.

Two Clintons – former President Bill Clinton and former first daughter Chelsea Clinton – visited Tallahassee in March in the run-up to Florida’s presidential primary. “Think about that”, Kaine told a room of union members at the Ironworkers International 43rd Convention in Las Vegas.

Accompanying Kaine will be his father, Al Kaine, who owned a union-organized ironworking and welding shop in the Kansas City, Missouri, area. He said he and Clinton would invest in American manufacturing, make trade deals that help American companies, and make investments stateside to make American businesses more competitive overseas. “He owes a fortune to institutions at home and overseas”, Kaine added.
