This is right out of their playbook right before an election, cause a hoax to gain sympathy and support to win an election saul says he has offered help from his groups members to pay to repair any of the vandalism damage as a goodwill gesture. Schwartz is still convinced theres a connection between the social Media Campaign against him and what he considers an obvious hate crime. Schwartz says he had some Campaign Signs stolen and vandalized before, something that happens with many candidates. But he believes what happened at his home crossed a line. Live in waterloo, Dave Franzman kcrg tv9 news. The president ial candidates and their running mates are campaigning all across the president ial candidate mike pence to fort dodge this afternoon. Congressman steve king introduce him to the stage. Pence started off by saying he appreciated his introduction as a christian, conservative and republican. Pence went on to call his running mate donald trump a fighter and a winner. And until very
I think the challenge they have is if they have got they go after trump on these personal things, he will come back very aggressive but thats what he does. Its not a matter of hers of personality. He has a very personal doctrine of constantly counterattacking. Host what do you think the debate will look like between trump and Hillary Clinton . Newt i cannot even begin to imagine. I think it may be surprisingly dignified. Both of them are capable of playing big roles. And i think they have this notion that whomever gets down in the mud first will lose and they might stay at an issue level more than you expect. On the other hand, if hillary decides she wants to slug it out, i am confident trump will be ready. Host back to where we are as a country. The defining issue in this campaign. Is it about restoring faith in government . What is the campaign not all about for donald trump and for republicans . Mr. Gingrich the campaign in the end is about, whether its jobs or security or your pers
Makes aknow if he twoperson cut. I think he is being seriously considered. He is many things that senator clinton is not. Hes more of a populist in terms of both record and approach. Gravellya great, voice. He has someone who has made good in a swing state like ohio. I think he compliments are in many ways without being what she views as someone who might be difficult to work with in Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. Brown is more of an idealist i think then Hillary Clinton who i think is more of a pragmatist, but he is not in her view so far off on the idealistic wing that he doesnt know how to get things done. He knows the compromises and sacrifices that need to be made. They did serve together in the u. S. Senate. There seem to be a couple of variables in terms of what the Clinton Campaign will want to do. Do they want to move more to the left, more to the center to help get republican votes, and what does Bernie Sanders want moving ahead . It is a complicated because there are so
Harry reid has made it clear that he does not want to see somebody selected from a state that would result in the senate losing a democratic seat. Mr. Cilizza you just outlined the strongest argument against picking Sherrod Brown. John kasich would be able to pick a republican to fill that term until another scheduled election. That would complicate the map for democrats. Hoping to retake the senate majority. Again, sometimes, what the white house or the candidate running for the white house and what the senators in that persons own party want run in cross purposes. That does happen. I dont think it rules Sherrod Brown out, but it is clearly, if you were picking, it is the first argument you hear from people on why not Sherrod Brown. Host what is the first argument for running for Vice President . How do these names and these candidates and these individuals go about the next couple weeks . Mr. Cilizza it is like fight club. The first rule is you dont talk about it. The more you campai
Sen. Brown thank you, ohio democrats. Thank you, joyce, cedric, and sheila. Thank you for joining us from the congressional black caucus. Special shout out to the stokes family. Lou was a mentor to so many of us that came to congress and we always will remember the tone he set and the gentleness that he brought to his job, always the commitment to justice. I like these dinners because i got to sit with my wife, connie, and my daughter, Columbus City councilwoman elizabeth brown. Elizabeth showed me pictures of our 5monthold granddaughter. The reason i bring that up is, she doesnt really send pictures very often to their daughters grandfather. Maybe she will start doing that more since im saying it in front of 3000 people. To Ted Strickland i know something about this, because i know what the forces of darkness did in 2012 when they spent 40 million, setting a record of any senate race in the country in negative ads. Theyve already spent 10 million, the Koch Brothers and their allies, a
