Wholesale Coyotes Jerseys . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle.GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Exposing the nations sharp political divisions as Election Day nears, supporters of Republican Donald Trump repeatedly interrupted President Barack Obama on Tuesday as he urged North Carolina Democrats to take advantage of early voting and cast their presidential ballots for Democrat Hillary Clinton.Obama also delivered a sharp indictment of Republicans who continue to support Trumps bid despite hearing him on a recently released video recording from 2005 talking in vulgar terms about making unwanted sexual advances toward women.The fact that now youve got people saying, `Well, we strongly disapprove. We really disagree. We find those comments disgusting. But were still endorsing him. We still think he should be president. That doesnt make sense to me, Obama told several thousand people at a raucous outdoor rally.Now I hear then some people saying, `Well, Im a Christian so Im all about forgiveness because nobodys perfect, Obama said. Well, that is true. I am certainly not perfect ... and I, too, believe in forgiveness and redemption, but that doesnt mean Im going to elect the person president.House Speaker Paul Ryan said he was sickened by Trumps comments on the recording, and he rescinded an invitation for Trump to join him at a weekend rally in his Wisconsin congressional district. But Ryan has not pulled his endorsement of Trump, as some other Republicans have. Still, he has told fellow House Republicans he would not defend Trump or campaign with him and would focus on protecting the House GOP majority.Obama said some Republicans were trying to have it both ways.You cant repeatedly denounce what is said by someone and then say, `But Im still going to endorse him to be the most powerful person on the planet and put them in charge, he said.Several minutes after Obama started speaking, a young man and a woman who appeared to be Trump supporters moved toward the stage and revealed T-shirts that said Bill Clinton Rapist. They were quickly escorted out by security.Immediately before Sundays presidential debate in St. Louis, Trump appeared with three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of committing sexual crimes against them. Clinton was never charged in those cases. The women later attended the debate.Obama joked that the protesters were auditioning for a reality show. Trump is the former host of the NBC reality show The Apprentice.After the president resumed speaking, someone could be heard shouting Bill Clinton is a rapist. Minutes after that outburst, a man ripped up one of the blue North Carolina Togethher placards that attendees were given to wave during the rally.ddddddddddddThis is our democracy at work. This is great, Obama said, as the largely supportive crowd began to boo.Obama contrasted Clintons experience, qualifications and penchant for sweating the details with Trump, who Obama said doesnt have the temperament, judgment, knowledge or basic honesty a president needs to have. And that was true even before we heard about his attitudes toward women.Obama also criticized Trump for threatening during Sundays debate to jail Clinton for using nongovernment email servers when she was secretary of state in Obamas first term, without the benefit of a trial or due process.Obama said the U.S. has stood in contrast and in opposition to those kinds of ideas and, I frankly never thought Id see the day when wed have a major party candidate who would be promoting those kinds of notions.He urged those in audience to vote, saying youve got everything to lose in the Nov. 8 election and that civility is on the ballot, as well as respect for women, tolerance and even democracy.If you want to send a message in this election, make it a resounding message: Turn back the forces of racism and misogyny, Obama said.The stop in North Carolina, parts of which are experiencing record flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, marked the first of three appearances the president has scheduled this week in battleground states in the White House race. The president canceled a Clinton campaign event last week in Miami because of the approaching storm. Polls indicate the presidential race is extremely close in North Carolina.On Thursday, Obama is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh to address a White House event on the future of innovation in the U.S. and around the world. That evening, he is scheduled to address the Ohio Democratic Partys annual dinner in Columbus. He campaigns again for Clinton in Cleveland on Friday.Obama opened his remarks by reflecting on Hurricane Matthews toll of death and destruction in North Carolina.Thoughts and prayer are with the folks who are still dealing with rivers that are overflown, homes that are being flooded, he said. He urged everyone to look out for each other, no matter what.Obama spoke to Gov. Pat McCrory by telephone on Tuesday, the White House said. He also signed a federal disaster declaration for the state on Monday.---Follow Darlene Superville on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/dsupervilleap ' ' '
