Clinton: Trump’s words could have “tremendous consequences”
If there was any doubt that Republicans were jumping off the Trump train, it ended Thursday on the sun-drenched Iowa State Fairgrounds when conservative Rep. Steve King began looking past the November election and acknowledging that he could work with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton if she is elected the next president.
The admission came as nearly an aside within a speech full of praise for Trump, the Republican presidential candidate and GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence. “He could make his ties in Denver”.
“I will go into the polls and I will vote for Donald Trump and I will bring other people with me”, he told the newspaper.
The Trump campaign responded to Clinton’s assertions by pointing to Trump’s previous responses to questions on the subject.
During a recent interview with an OH radio station, Trump said he has been forced to make his products overseas because of trade deals that he said are bad for US businesses. “But I want products to be made in our country”. One of them is he makes all these things, doesn’t make any of them in the United States.
At a rally in Des Moines on Wednesday, Clinton said the remarks were a “casual inciting of violence” that show he lacks the temperament to be commander in chief. She said that according to independent analysis “under my plans, we’ll create about 10.4 million new jobs”.
Clinton is also planning to release her 2015 tax returns in the coming days, as she seeks to keep the pressure on Trump, who has not provided his.
About 60 people turned out for King’s speech, the first soapbox address of the 2016 Iowa State Fair.
At one point during the rally, U.S. Secret Service stormed the stage to protect Clinton. The protesters appeared to be from an animal rights group. In Iowa, she stressed her commitment to small businesses and young entrepreneurs with a visit to local T-shirt store, Raygun.
Hillary Clinton is back in Iowa for the first time since the February Caucus.
