Warning of ‘war’ on farmers, Trump seeks support in Iowa

Virginia Stone of Waukee said Trump is “attracting a lot of dissatisfied” Americans who haven’t voted before.

He adds, “We can not, as a society, tolerate this level of violence and suffering in our own cities”.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump isn’t making it easy for top supporters and advisers, from his running mate on down, to defend him or explain some campaign positions.

Trump was campaigning on Saturday in Iowa, headlining Republican Sen.

There’s been recent speculation Trump could soften his hard-line stance on illegal immigration-his campaign delayed an anticipated speech on his policies-but Trump told Iowans he will begin by deporting those who have committed additional crimes in the United States.

Trump’s comments come as he works to boost his image with minority voters amid a slip in the polls.

Trump drew an online backlash Saturday for a tweet he sent in response to the shooting death of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade’s cousin, who was gunned down near the Chicago school where she had planned to register her children.

“Dwyane Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago”, Trump wrote Saturday.

“A vote for Clinton is a vote for open borders”, said Trump, who is trailing Clinton by 6 percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics polls average.

Asked whether the “deportation force” proposal Trump laid out in November is still in place, Pence replied: “Well, what you heard him describe there, in his usual plainspoken, American way, was a mechanism, not a policy”.

“I’m looking right at the media as I say this: the chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa is telling you we (Republicans) are united and we will defeat Hillary Clinton in this state”, Kaufmann said.

Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Andy McGuire said Trump does not offer solutions that matter to working families in Iowa because he “is more interested in grabbing headlines” than formulating plans that better their lives.

However, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s new campaign manager, is hoping to change women’s minds about the Republican nominee, pointing out that “a critical mass of women have not said they’d vote for Hillary Clinton”.

Branstad talked about national security then shifted to agricultural issues, criticizing the Obama administration for reducing the amount of corn-based ethanol that is required to be mixed into the nation’s fuel supply.

“Your votes matter, this election matters”, Reynolds said, as four seats in the House of Representatives and one Senate seat are up for grabs in Iowa, in addition to six electoral votes.

His more scripted style definitely made for a more subdued rally Saturday, though he lambasted Clinton for using a private email server during her years as secretary of state and charged she engaged in “corruption” by giving donors to her family’s nonprofit foundation special access to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Amid a fierce period of campaigning, Clinton and Trump are also taking time to warm up for their biggest showdowns.

“What a lovely day – not too hot; not too sunny, just right”, Ernst told reporters after the 42-mile motorcycle trek.

Athena Cole, a Republican activist and volunteer in Iowa, likes that Trump doesn’t pander to certain demographics.

After a week of divulging scant – and sometimes confusing – policy details on his immigration strategy, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump hinted at more specifics Saturday at Des Moines’ Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Iowa remains a bright spot for Trump on the 2016 election map amid a sea of challenging battleground states.

Hillary Clinton has arrived at an Federal Bureau of Investigation facility in White Plains, New York, for her first national security briefing as the Democratic presidential nominee.

The magnate also promised to deport “these worldwide gangs of thugs and drug cartels.from the first day in office”, but avoided saying what he would do with those who have no criminal record, EFE news reported.

For Trump, who trails Clinton in almost all national and battleground-state polls, the debates represent an opportunity to change perceptions. Earlier this month Trump received his briefing, a customary move for major-party nominees.
