Obama defends record, takes aim at Trump in battleground stops

MI was one of five states trump chose to focus in on, making Monday a historic day for the mitten state; which brought President Obama, Democratic Presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence, and of course Donald Trump, all making last minute campaign stops.

Earlier in the day, Obama was in Ann Arbor, Michigan – another sign of how seriously Democrats are taking the state. And then he must make an nearly ideal run through battleground states such as New Hampshire and Iowa. The day started with pundits focused on Donald Trump’s narrow path to winning, but as polls closed, the tides turned and now, it’s Hillary Clinton with the narrow path to victory.

“Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit to be president”.

Trump’s combative campaign manager Kellyanne Conway took the same line, alleging Comey and the FBI had mishandled the investigation. “I don’t see it”, he said. “If your closest advisors don’t trust you to tweet, how can you trust him with the nuclear codes?”

He (Trump) is unqualified to be America’s chief executive.

NBC predicted she would win 274 electoral votes compared to 170 for Trump, saying polls in states holding the remaining 94 electoral votes were too close to call.

In his eighth visit to MI on Monday, Donald Trump tied a bow on his election package. “He didn’t care about working people then – he won’t now”.

Trump at times struck a nostalgic tone during his final round of rallies, recalling the rivals he’d vanquished and how far he’s come.

Obama’s address amounted to a valedictory for a president whose popularity has grown in his final year in office. And if it can change a state, it can change a nation.

“By making MI workers suffer, they’d have no choice but to accept less pay if they wanted to get their jobs back”, he said slamming Trump, for his economic policies.

“I just love him”, Flynn said.

The crowd, who knew Mrs Childs and her signature chant, answered back: “Ready to go!” Clinton voted at a school near her home in Chappaqua, New York, with former President Bill Clinton.

“Tomorrow the choice you face when you step into the voting booth could not be clearer and could not be more serious”, Obama declared, slamming Trump as a selfish, racist bigoted misogynist.

“I told my team today to keep their heads up”, Obama said. “I developed a great relationship with the people of MI”, he explained.

“I’m really petrified. I mean, this is the first time in my life that I’m afraid of the other person getting into office”, he said.

“I know it hasn’t been easy to be a Trump supporter”.

Clinton was headed to Raleigh, North Carolina for the final stop in her marathon last day of campaigning, while her Republican rival – whose New Hampshire rally unfolded while she was on stage in Philadelphia – was headed to MI. “We need more love and kindness in America”.

At the same time, Clinton rallied about 1,300 supporters at a community center in the Bronx. “Our parents and grandparents defended that and they marched for civil rights and voting rights”, she said. And then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off, we get back in the arena, we go at it. But it also gave Clinton the lead with 46 percent in Florida compared to 45 percent for Trump, and 47 percent in North Carolina against Trump’s 45 percent.

Hillary Clinton returned to the birthplace of American independence to make her closing argument Monday night, using Independence Hall as a backdrop as she laid the stakes for what she described as a generation-defining election.
