Bill Clinton campaigns for wife in Orlando

Former president launches bus tour in Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton got some help on the campaign trail as Former President Bill Clinton made a stop in Orlando on Friday.

The 42nd president spoke to a crowd of nearly a thousand at the Florida Education Association Delegate Assembly.

At the event, which was closed to the public, Clinton talked about the current political atmosphere two days removed from the final presidential debate.

"This is such a crazy election," Clinton said.  "We have got to stop the craziness of trying to bring each other down."

Clinton first spoke about the economy, but remarks soon shifted to education, which favored the crowd of educators.

"The most important thing you can do with limited funds is to give schools the resources and the space they need to help teachers become better teachers," Clinton said.

Friday's stop was the first of what's called the "Stronger Together" bus tour.  Bill Clinton is holding four more rallies from Central Florida through the panhandle and highlighting the differences between his wife and Trump.

"In the end, you have to choose bridges over walls.  That's what stronger together means," Clinton said.

Clinton's next stop was an early voting in Jacksonville.  The bus tour will conclude Saturday afternoon in Pensacola.
