Clinton to campaign in Milwaukee next month

Donald Trump, the newly crowned front-runner in the GOP presidential race in Iowa, will arrive by helicopter for his afternoon at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Saturday, campaign aides said Thursday. “We can’t let them pull that same trick again”. For my wife, Ruth and I, that candidate is Hillary Clinton.

Clinton placed third in the Iowa caucuses in 2008, and that election cycle Harkin didn’t endorse a presidential candidate.

She, meanwhile, has been facing questions over the allegations of accessing a private e-mail server during her tenure as Secretary of State.

Also expected at the fair Saturday are Vermont Sen.

Trump ended his remarks by taking a group of children – some wearing Trump campaign T-shirts – on a brief helicopter ride.

But the night was marked by Clinton’s forceful defense.

FBI officials have also been keen to get a look at the server, likely not as part of an investigation targeting Clinton, but to test whether it was hacked and foreign intelligence services or others stole classified information.

“We need to restore the guidance of fair competition in our antitrust policies”, he said.

“I don’t care how many super PACs and Republicans pile on”. Nobody is going through my wall.

But there’s little doubt her email usage has hurt her campaign. “I learned that from my mother”, she said. “Those messages disappear all by themselves”.

“Jeb Bush is a puppet to his donors”. The country, she said, shouldn’t be distracted.

The early arrival at the fairgrounds was Democrat Lincoln Chafee, who strolled the main pathway greeting voters before 9 a.m.

The crowd had crammed into the Surf Ballroom, which became a rock and roll landmark on “The Day the Music Died” – when, after a 1959 performance there, musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson were killed in a plane crash. According to a CNN/ORC poll conducted last week, 50 percent support Clinton, 31 percent back Sanders, and 12 said they would vote for Vice President Joe Biden, who is reportedly considering running.

“In tougher times than these, Franklin Roosevelt told us not to be afraid”.

“First of all, they’re free”, Coyle said.

“I think we have been handing them out for at least 10 years“, said Katie Coyle, director of consumer affairs for the council.

And there are 18 presidential candidates in a bipartisan stampede to the Iowa State Fair – bringing their stump speeches, of course, but more importantly, aiming to prove their common touch in the ultimate venue for retail campaigning.

Harkin is known for hosting the Harkin Steak Fry in Iowa, a political event held to introduce political up-and-comers and give potential executive-level politicians a chance to rub elbows with Iowans. Tom Harkin, who served in the Senate for three decades before retiring in 2014.

Unlike Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, neither Trump nor Clinton braved the Des Moines Register “soapbox” on Saturday.
