Clinton reaches out to women while Trump defends taxes

Source: MSN/Associated Press

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Arizona — Hillary Clinton appealed to voting mothers Tuesday outlining ways she hopes to curb gun violence as president and provide paid family leave and sick days for struggling working moms. Donald Trump tried to blame his opponent about revelations that his massive financial losses could have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for years.

Clinton, appearing at a Family town Hall outside Philadelphia, said, "It should not be so hard to be a young parent. And it should not be so hard on the other end of the age spectrum to take care of your loved one."

She was making a case to suburban female voters who have sometimes backed Republicans in past presidential races.

Trump, meanwhile, sought to shore up support in deep-red Arizona during a challenging stretch for his campaign that aides hoped would be steadied Tuesday night by a strong performance by his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, against Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine in the vice presidential debate.

There goes Hillary again preparing to be President and preparing for Sunday's debate by doing a townhall. Will the Orange One get off his high horse and go through the motions of preparation or just insist that by winging it he will be more authentic?

I think she and Tim Kaine should hold rallies there. I know AZ isn't necessary for her to carry the election and it may take some significance off other states she's leading in, but I think it would send a message to the GOP that fewer and fewer states can be called their strongholds any longer.
