Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be in Akron and Cleveland today, her first stops in Ohio since Labor Day.

It also comes one day after an op/ed by Cleveland Cavs star LeBron James endorsing Clinton was published on businessinsider.com.

"Only one person running truly understands the struggles of an Akron child born into poverty. And when I think about the kinds of policies and ideas the kids in my foundation need from our government, the choice is clear," James writes. "That candidate is Hillary Clinton."

While here: "Clinton plans to call out companies such as Wells Fargo, which secretly opened up millions of accounts for customers without their consent, and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, which raised the price of EpiPens without justification, a campaign official said, speaking only on the condition of anonymity," Dispatch Public Affairs Editor Darrel Rowland writes........................................

1. You GO LeBron!

His weight in the NBA world with especially millennials is huge. He's also an amazing charitable giver here in the Akron area.

2. I so hopes he appears with Hillary on the campaign trail.

This is leadership.

3. I highly doubt he will

4. I Can See It

He's bullet proof at this point. He's already done the speech at the ESPY's. He's already done the BLM shirt thing.

Everyone knows where he stands, and it hasn't affected his brand a bit to this point.

He's awfully big heat, and i don't think he fears the spotlight.

5. ...after winning multiple championships, he's bulletproof. If he'd tried to do this in the immediate

aftermath of "The Decision," he'd be getting roasted alive.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. True That!

You're 100% correct.

[titaniumsalute]

6. I agree with your points...

But I still don't think he will do it. He made his point publically but I don't think that he will go the extra step to campaign. He's back in pre-season camp and I doubt that he will want to bring that attention to himself or the Cavs who are readying the banner to be hung in a few weeks at Quicken Loans Arena. That's just not his style.

8. Impossible...I was told by many very concerned peoples that Ohio was lost, lost, LOST!
