Hillary
Clinton and Donald Trump traded insults
at opposite ends of the country Friday,
taking their fight for the White House to rival battleground states and
portraying starkly different visions of America. One of the most divisive US
campaigns in modern history is entering a new chapter with Republicans and
Democrats having selected their nominees, leaving the candidates slogging it
out before election day on November 8.
Clinton followed her historic
acceptance speech on Thursday as the first woman presidential nominee for a
major party with a rally in Philadelphia before embarking on a bus tour of Rust
Belt states Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In
Colorado, a key western state, her Republican opponent promised “no more Mr
Nice Guy.” He trashed Clinton’s speech as “average,” called her a liar and
promised to end the migration of Syrian refugees. “I’m starting to agree with
you,” the 70-year-old told supporters chanting “lock her up, lock her up” in
Colorado Springs. “I’m taking the gloves off,” he said.
“Just remember this
Trump is going to be no more Mr Nice Guy.” Just over 100 days before the
election, Americans are being asked to choose between two sharply polarized
visions and between two monumentally unpopular candidates. “I can’t think of
an election that is more important, certainly in my lifetime,” Clinton told
supporters at the rally in Philadelphia. The 68-year-old Democrat portrays
Trump as a threat to democracy, and is seeking to both woo moderate Republicans
repelled by the former reality TV star and shore up a coalition with
progressives on the left of her party.
“Donald
Trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in
decline,” she said. “I’m not telling you that everything is peachy keen I’m
telling you we’ve made progress, but we have work to do.”
She promises to focus
on parts of the country that have been “left out and left behind” constituencies where declining living standards, fears about safety and lost
jobs have fueled support for Trump. Trump, who has never previously held
office, portrays himself as the law and order candidate the outsider who will
shake up an out-of-touch Washington, restore jobs, cut the deficit and end
illegal immigration.
“This country, if they choose her, this country will not
be in good shape,” Trump told ABC News on Friday. “She doesn’t know how to win,
she’s not a winner,” he said in an excerpt of the interview set to air Sunday.
In Colorado, Trump goaded Clinton on her failure to hold a news conference
since December and accused her of lying to the FBI over its investigation of
her email scandal as secretary of state.
“We’re going to stop the Syrian
migrants from coming into the United States,” he said referring to the killing
of a French priest, whose attackers proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic State
extremist group. Trump’s campaign released a new ad Friday claiming that in
Clinton’s America “things get worse” with taxes going up, terrorism spreading
and voters losing jobs, homes and hope. “Change that makes America great
again,” the video promised.
Clinton needs to win
over some of the disgruntled working class voters that form the backbone
of Trump’s base. She has blasted Trump for making so many of his
products overseas, and for alienating women, Hispanics and Muslims.
Clinton — accompanied by her husband Bill, and her running mate Virginia
Senator Tim Kaine and his wife Anne Holton — is on a campaign tour of
so-called Rust Belt states, vital parts of almost any strategy to garner
the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidency.
The candidate and her team were moving in Pennsylvania in a convoy of
more than two dozen vehicles, including two large buses with the
campaign slogan “Stronger Together” emblazoned on the side in giant
letters.
Clinton stopped at a toy factory in the town of Hatfield, underlining
the priority that she would give to manufacturing jobs. Then the convoy
proceeded to an afternoon outdoor rally in the town of Harrisburg.
Experts predict that “negative partisanship” — voting against a
candidate — will play a major role in deciding who makes it to the White
House.
Clinton’s unpopularity is second only to Trump’s, with a disapproval
rating of 55 percent compared to his 57 percent, according to recent
averages.
Ratings from Nielsen showed that 2.2 million more people had tuned into
watch Trump’s acceptance speech last week than Clinton’s on Thursday.
When it comes to voter intentions, Trump and Clinton are in a
statistical dead heat, according to the most recent poll average from
RealClearPolitics.
