Obama in Ohio: 'Don't Be Bamboozled' by Trump



Published on Nov 1, 2016

President Barack Obama is telling working-class voters not to be "bamboozled" by Donald Trump. President Obama campaigned again for Hillary Clinton in Ohio today and warned that someone who disrespects the Constitution like Donald Trump does would be dangerous as president The president sent out this warning to people about the dangers of what Trump could do with actual presidential power. “If you disrespect the Constitution by threatening to shut down the press when it doesn’t say things you like or threaten to throw your opponent in jail or discriminate against people of different faiths––if you do that before you are elected, then what are you gonna do when you have actual power to do those things?” Obama is tearing into he Republican businessman's working-class credentials. Obama says Trump has "shown no regard for working people." Repeating his disbelief: "C'mon, this guy?" The Democrat says Trump "wouldn't let you into one of his hotels unless you were cleaning the room." Obama is campaigning at Capital University near Columbus, Ohio, a state he won twice by winning just enough working-class voters, while pumping up turnout among African Americans. Poll show Clinton appears to be struggling here, thanks in part to Trump's strength among working-class, white voters.
