In one of the most divisive US campaigns in modern history, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump traded insults at opposite ends of the country yesterday, taking their fight for the White House to rival battleground states and portraying starkly different visions of America.
Clinton followed her historic acceptance speech on Thursday as the first woman presidential nominee for a major party with a rally in Philadelphia before embarking on a bus tour of Rust Belt states Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In Colorado, a key western state, her Republican opponent promised "no more Mr Nice Guy." He trashed Clinton's speech as "average," called her a liar and promised to end the migration of Syrian refugees.
"I'm starting to agree with you," the 70-year-old told supporters chanting "lock her up, lock her up" in Colorado Springs. "I'm taking the gloves off," he said. "Just remember this Trump is going to be no more Mr Nice Guy."
"I can't think of an election that is more important, certainly in my lifetime," Clinton told supporters at the rally in Philadelphia.
"Donald Trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in decline," she said.
"I'm not telling you that everything is peachy keen -- I'm telling you we've made progress, but we have work to do."
She promises to focus on parts of the country that have been "left out and left behind" -- constituencies where declining living standards, fears about safety and lost jobs have fueled support for Trump.
Trump, who has never previously held office, portrays himself as the law and order candidate -- the outsider who will shake up an out-of-touch Washington, restore jobs, cut the deficit and end illegal immigration.
"This country, if they choose her, this country will not be in good shape," Trump told ABC News on Friday.
"She doesn't know how to win, she's not a winner," he said in an excerpt of the interview set to air Sunday.
"We're going to stop the Syrian migrants from coming into the United States," he said referring to the killing of a French priest, whose attackers proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic State extremist group.
Trump's campaign released a new ad Friday claiming that in Clinton's America "things get worse" with taxes going up, terrorism spreading and voters losing jobs, homes and hope.
"Change that makes America great again," the video promised.
