Advertisement Trump: Clinton 'sold favors for cash' Tampa visit highlights push to win minority voters Share Shares Copy Link Copy

During most of his speech Wednesday in Tampa, Donald Trump followed the Republican Party platform: Vowing to repeal Obamacare (The Affordable Care Act,) expanding school choice, tossing the Iran nuclear deal and re-working trade agreements to create jobs.Trump and GOP bosses are getting along better in recent days. Right after Trump arrived at the State Fairgrounds in Tampa, NBC cameras spotted Trump under an umbrella, dodging rain drops, with Attorney General Pam Bondi.Bondi has caught heat for not doing more to investigate student complaints about Trump University, which is now the target of multiple lawsuits.Once at the podium, Trump branded Democrat Hillary Clinton a master of "pay-to-play" politics. He pointed to official emails on her private server, that appear to show contributions to the Clinton Foundation, coincided with visits by foreign dignitaries, that were arranged by the State Department.The Republican presidential nominee said, “She sold favors and access in exchange for cash. She sold it. She sold favors, she sold access. She even deleted 33,000 emails to hide evidence of her crimes.”Trump did not mention that the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton for using her private email server while conducting official business as secretary of state. She has been charged with no crimes.On Monday, a federal judge ordered the Justice Department to begin releasing nearly 15,000 new emails provided by Clinton attorneys, which will likely provide new information right up to Election Day in November.Trump also spent time trying to persuade African-American and Hispanic voters that the Democratic Party, and Clinton in particular, make lots of promises to win votes and then forget minorities as soon as they're sworn in.Trump said, “To the African-American parent, you have a right to walk down the street of your city without having yourself, or your child, shot, and that's what's happening right now. To the Hispanic parent. You have a right to walk outside without being shot. You have a right to good education for your child.”“I'm asking for the honor of your vote so that I can fight for you," he added. "That's African-Americans, that's Hispanics and that's all Americans.”After appearing pleased that a new Florida Atlantic University poll shows him leading Clinton by two points, his first lead in Florida since early July, Trump promised to re-work trade agreements that he and Republican leaders claim, are stalling job growth.Trump said, “We are going to cut taxes dramatically and bring thousands of new companies and millions of new jobs to our shores.”An analysis by Moody’s of the Trump and Clinton economic plans indicate that Clinton would create jobs, that Trump would lose jobs and that taxes would likely increase under both plans.
