Well start with phyllis, a democrat supporting donald trump in west virginia. Good morning. Caller how are you . Guest im great. How are you . Caller well, you know, i read donald trump spoke several years back before he decided to run for president. And i was really impressed with him. On hillary, i saw a video the internet that was horrible and it was a lot of perversion going on between her and her husband, and i definitely thought it was just, it had to be made up but then i found out it was probably very true. So, i definitely do not want Hillary Clinton in the white house. I dont think she represents our values in america. I think she probably has the political knowledge. I just think she god only knows what she would do england. Queen of we dont need her. But donald trump definitely has had his with women. But id o believe even though we have heard he kind of talks about them in a brusque way, my dad did, my uncles did. The guys on the corner in any kind of metropolitan city talk like that. A democrat in west virginia, have you voted republican before . Caller i have. Im a registered independent, because i have been very dissatisfied with the democratic nominations. St we are talking just a registered democrats voting for donald trump or register republicans voting for Hillary Clinton this cycle. Want to get their thoughts and why they made that decision and how they are voting and other races as well. Ragreg, a democrat supporting donald trump itgood morning. Atller the party th basically im usually independent, but i kind of switched up last 10 years or so. That does notdy see that donald is sincere, his family is sincere, and he wants to make the American People be the benefactors of our tax dollars, its real simple. Shes a globalist. Hes a nationalist. Do you like your country . Host were you raised a democrat, greg . Caller see, it was kind of spread when i grew up. Mom and dad, they were kind of split on it. Believe it or not, in the end, i thought the most logical conservative people i ever met till later in their life and i realize they were brain washed and were attacking me and my First Amendment rights in the front yard i grew up in. Thats when i knew there was a problem, that 90 is not real. All of these flags am erica. No one is dying. Host we go to a republican supporting Hillary Clinton. Good morning. You are on washington journal. Caller hi. Im from Shelby Township michigan. I think im one of those people that might be a dinosaur. Im a black woman and im a republican. Because republicans i do not think people realize is the its about money. Democrat, if youre working class, that is where you sit. If youre not making more than 00, you are not a republican. It has nothing to do with color. A ldaady or a man. It is about getting the best person to help me and my family and the country, but i do not think a lot of people realize who or what the difference is with republicans and democrats. Host take us through your thinking this cycle and how you came to support Hillary Clinton. Caller Hillary Clinton. I guess it is the lesser of two eagles. Two evils. Donald trump when he went to his convention, there was a black man that supported him. I do not see donald hanging around his bed and said anything, some black people are voting for me. He could get less than a what istootey about going to happen. Not just black people but anybody who does not fall under the doctrine of donald trump. I wonder what about his wife. My husband was a polise america. We are in this confusion thing of what is he going to do in the near future, what law is he going to change . Hes a bit far off the rocker for now. Votinghen it comes to republican, will you vote republican in senate and house races in other races . Is it just the president ial pick where you are voting for the democratic candidate . Caller no, im going to vote straight democrats. I believe donald could clean house, you are fired, everybody. We need something different. Now, the way he is talking, it is no. I would not vote for a republican. Im kind of done with it. I dont think they will be another republican president in quite some time. If this is what we are turning up for candidates, no.

That was back in 1963. Im a navy veteran. Years,n the navy four vietnam and north korea. Ive been around the world 2. 5 times. Cycle,oming into the donald trump was never going to be candidate you were going to vote for because of your past . I heard so much stuff about him. Because ive been a lifelong republican. I just cant in good conscious vote for him. I have been to Ascension Island. I saw the first missile come down range from Cape Canaveral in 1957.

Ve throat caner an wards waiting in columbus, georgia, a democrat supporting donald trump. Go ahead. Caller hi. Number one, Hillary Clinton does not have an agenda of her own.

Caller they are going to find a lot of things whenever they read that law. And they are going to be extremely upset. Host what upset you the most . Caller the way he words his words on that. Makes the American People nothing. He doesnt believe i in t American People at all. If you read that law on obamacare. Com law 107, you will understand why. Host you are most concerned about a Hillary Clinton presidency being a continuation of president obama . Caller yes. Thats horrible. Columbus, georgia, this morning. Donald trump will be speaking today, an economic speech and detroit. For more, we turn to Todd Spangler of the detroit free press. Good morning to you. The speech is going to be at the detroit Economic Club. What is the goal of todays speech from the trump camp . Todd the Trump Campaign has been quiet to a lot of media about what they hope to accomplish, but the war that kind of comes out is they want to make this a serious policy speech about his plans for the economy. He has talked about that at length before, but a number of times he has had longer sort of discipline to discussions on that, have been few. What we expected a is more of an indepth look at what he plans for the economy. Host what is the detroit Economic Club, who is the audience . Todd the Economic Club is probably one of the more esteemed regional groups of executives in the country, because in detroit you have a lot of People Associated with the auto industry, financiers, politicians, business people, dan gilbert, quicken loans. Getsis not a crowd that together and does huge cheering or booing when politicians come to speak. This is a very businessoriented group. And they expect to hear policy, not off of newoming economic, new jobs numbers, what were the job numbers to specifically, what do they tell us about michigans economy . Todd michigans economy has been doing a lot better. In a state that had one of the highest if not the highest Unemployment Rate during the height of the recession. Backnow, its come greatly in terms of its Unemployment Rate. And you will see politicians in michigan taking the credit for that. So, i think one of the harder aspects of, of nominee trumps message with this group may be has talk about do i tear up trade deals. These are free traders. These are people to a large degree in favor of trade deals such as the one that mr. Trump has criticized at length. Um, there is also the question about the Car Companies. If youre going to come in and hit the obama administrations plans, part and parcel of that was the rescue of General Motors and chrysler, which frankly, most people would say if it had not happened, it couldve taken the american Automobile Industry apart for several years. That did not happen. And you are seeing the Car Companies having some of their best quarters ever in recent quarters and in recent years. Host when is Hillary Clinton expected to next be in michigan, and is this a battleground that donald trump was to fight on, the economic message that he is going to be talking about today in michigan . Todd absolutely. So, we know secretary clinton is supposed to have an economic speech of her own in michigan on this thursday. Which is interesting. In recent cycles, michigan has not gotten quite as much attention, because it has not gone for a republican candidate since george h. W. Bush in 1988. It is considered mostly blue in president ial years. You know, there seems to be something at stake here. There is certainly a feeling that there are disaffected white workingclass voters iin the rust belt that mr. Trump is going to need to turn if he is going to win this election. For the perceivable future. Host Todd Spangler with the detroit free press. Thanks so much for your time this morning. Todd spangler talking about the push for tjobs in the rust belt states. The lead story in the Washington Post talks about Hillary Clintons record as a senator from the state of new york and her pledge to revive jobs in upstate new york saying that that push fell flat. There is the headline if you want to read the story in todays Washington Post going to the record and her numbers. But we are talking this morning to just republican supporting Hillary Clinton. Democrat supporting donald trump. Thats o ur ur phones here on washington journal. In california, republican supporting Hillary Clinton. Caller good morning, america. I votedas a republican, for reagan. But yesterday i heard a Trump Supporters specifically say that the corporations that left america, they made profit, 3 trillion. They want to bring this profit back to america. She said trump is asking for a tax break for these people to trillion back into america. They left america and got profit outside of america. Bring jobs back and to america, they would hold this money over our heads . That is totally wrong. Rumps economic plan is with the corporations that left america to come back, they made profit off of slave la
