Trump’s last stump in MI

Thousands of people waited in line Monday for the opportunity to see Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in his last campaign stop before Election Day. Democrats point to polls they say show Trump under-performing in western MI, and Clinton was in bright red Ottawa County Monday to try to exploit that perceived weakness. The president tried to drum up support for Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democratic ticket during a rally in Ann Arbor. This has made Michigan’s 16 Electoral College votes imperative to both candidates’ path to the Oval Office. Those who dreamed of Bernie Sanders for the Democratic ticket or anyone but Trump for Republicans face their time of reckoning. Voting precincts across the state were set to open eight hours later.

“I started telling and talking about [how] your auto business is being stolen from you”, Trump said Monday night in Scranton.

Americans bid goodbye with their ballots Tuesday to a presidential campaign of venom, audacity and history, choosing between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in a contest that cleaved the nation as hotly competitive races unfolded into the night in battleground states.

“When you think about it, Donald hasn’t paid anything for 20 years”. “It does not surprise me that there’s some apprehension about Trump [in Western Michigan]”, Anuzis said, “because it’s not their kind of style”.

But his campaign is reeling from a blow on Sunday when James Comey, the Federal Bureau of Investigation director announced… The survey showed virtually no change among Clinton loyalists. Trump asked with a chuckle.

America is about to elect its 45th president today.

“Welcome to Trump country”, said former Congressman Pete Hoekstra of Holland, a co-chair for Trump’s MI campaign.

The U.S. dollar sank and stock markets slammed into reverse in wild Asian trade on Wednesday as early results pointed to a nail-biter and investors stampeded to safe-haven assets. “Look at his record, don’t just listen to his rhetoric”, Clinton said.

Trump spoke as Hillary Clinton’s final rally partied in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga, and the Obamas.

Assuming the stage for his fifth appearance of the day, Trump seemed worn but kept his usual confidence including the classic call-and-response: “Who’s going to pay for the wall?” He and Clinton have been locked in a tough battle Florida, with its large Hispanic-American population. “We feel like we’ve got a lead in MI”.

“Today is our Independence Day”, Trump declares at a rally in Grand, Rapids Michigan in the early hours Tuesday. Pence was in Traverse City earlier Monday and both appeared at a late-night rally in Grand Rapids.

Mrs. Clinton continued to hold the lead in several national polls, as she has throughout the general election campaign.

“I’ll be honest I will be voting tomorrow and I am not 100% certain for who I’m voting for yet.”, Ben Marietta said.

The FBI’s Comey sent shockwaves through the race when he told Congress on Sunday that investigators had reviewed recently discovered emails and found no reason to change their July finding that there was no criminal wrongdoing in Clinton’s use of a private email server, rather than a government system, while she was the top US diplomat from 2009-2013.

“It used to be the cars were made in Flint and you couldn’t drink the water in Mexico”, Trump said.

“He talks about the rigged corrupt system not working for the common man”, she said.

In recent years, MI has leaned toward the left in presidential elections.
