In Greensboro, Clinton Resumes Campaign Focusing On Families And Condemning HB2

Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton chose Greensboro as the site to resume her campaign after a pneumonia diagnosis forced her to take a few days off. The crowd of around 2,000 people at a University of North Carolina at Greenboro campus building cheered as she took the stage. James Brown's famous song "I Feel Good" played as a musical answer on how her health is holding up.

Clinton addressed her health concerns by admitting she should have taken some time off. She then changed the focus; less about herself and more on the children and families she's running for – including kids who she says may be harmed by the state's new law that limits protections for lesbian, gay, and transgender people.

“I'm running for the LGBT teenager here in North Carolina who sees a governor here sign a bill that legalizes discrimination and suddenly feels like a second class citizen,” says Clinton. 

She also contrasted her style with that of her opponent, Republican Donald Trump. She says she'll never match him as a showman but is far better when it comes to sweating policy details.

“You see I have this old-fashioned notion that when you run for president you should say what you plan to do, how you're going to get it done, and how you're going to pay for it.”

Republican rival Donald Trump will be in the Triad next week. His campaign site says the candidate will be at High Point University on Tuesday. The Republican National Committee released a response to Clinton's visit. 

“Hillary Clinton's visit to the Gate City comes as her campaign continues to be plagued by revelations into her family's corrupt foundation, her email scandal, and sinking poll numbers. No rally will gloss over the fact that North Carolina voters don't trust Hillary Clinton and that they are still waiting on answers about her shady dealings.” 

Election Day is now less than two months away, with early voting set to begin Oct. 20.
