Clinton countered with her own economic proposals, saying she wants to invest in public works projects and more educational opportunities and will tax top earners to pay for her plans.

A telepromter is set up on the stage at the Detroit Economic Club where Donald Trump is set to roll out his economic vision, described by his campaign as “Winning The Global Competition”. Trump at least has the truth on his side: More of the same is undesirable.
Trump seized on Clinton’s comments Friday that she had “short-circuited” when she said a week ago that FBI Director James Comey had said she had been truthful to the American people in her use of a private email server while US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
It starts, Flake said, with statements Trump “made right out of the gate. about those crossing the border being rapists and what-not”.
A group called the Michigan People’s Campaign took credit for the protests, which they said were aimed at Trump’s recent comments about sexual harassment.
He added at one point, “I will say, the Bernie Sanders people had far more energy and spirit”.
Trump drew cheers from business executives with a call to cut the the 39 percent US corporate tax rate, the third highest in the world, to 15 percent.
Another reason working families might not benefit much from Trump’s child care proposal is that any tax benefits would come long after the services were paid for. At the moment, parents can deduct up to $6,000 for child care expenses from their federal income taxes.
Kasich, who lost the GOP primary to Trump and shunned the Republican National Convention, tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that four years of Hillary Clinton would mean “total gridlock”.
Trump is also expected to spend much of the speech contrasting his approach with that of Clinton, whom his campaign accuses of pushing the same “stale, big government policy prescriptions that have choked economic growth in America and led to over 40 years of wage stagnation”. But Democrats have touted the comeback of the auto industry during the Obama administration as a mark of success for the types of economic policies Clinton is supporting.
Last week, another director of the C.I.A., Michael Morell, publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton and shared similar concerns about a possible Trump presidency. He called her “the candidate of the past”.
Then there’s issue is how Trump would pay for this plan. He sought to put the dust-up to bed Friday by finally backing those candidates while also trying to move past other controversies like his verbal attacks on a Muslim-American family whose son died fighting in Iraq.
Trump also revisited his opposition to current trade deals, including his plan to renegotiate the NAFTA trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.
He has vowed to rewrite some worldwide trade deals, including the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico that was signed into law in 1994 by Clinton’s husband, then-President Bill Clinton.
Newt Gingrich says that “of course” Donald Trump’s economic plan doesn’t add up and adds that historically, no candidates’ numbers do.
Monday was something different for Donald Trump.
“He’s a dreamer. He’s a builder”.

Interviewed Sunday on Face the Nation, Flake said he met privately last week with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Flake’s running mate, who was in Arizona for political rallies in Tucson and Phoenix. “And he is a man who speaks his mind”.
