Hillary Clinton to Kentucky: 'I'm back for one reason. That's because Ky. deserves a change in Washington'
LOUISVILLE — Making her case as a “Clinton Democrat” who would spend more time in office under the next president “no matter whom he or she might be,” U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes rallied the Democratic base in downtown Louisville alongside former U.S. Sen. and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A standing-room-only crowd of more than 4,500 people turned out to hear Grimes and Clinton speak at the Kentucky International Convention Center on Wednesday night.
The duo delivered speeches promoting pocketbook and women’s issues that have been Grimes’ main points in the campaign and urging Democrats to turn out to the polls on November 4.
Clinton touted one of Grimes’ top issues in raising the minimum wage, saying the measure would lift thousands of Kentuckians from poverty and pointing out that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, increased the minimum wage in the 1990s.
“Remember when my husband ran for re-election — he said he wanted to build a bridge to the 21st century? Well unfortunately since he left office some people have been trying to tear that bridge down,” Clinton said.
Clinton also sought to cast the race as a “referendum on the future,” saying “it is both a choice and chance.”
“Do you want politics in Washington in the Congress to look the same for the next six years?” Clinton asked the crowd.
In Grimes’ speech she insinuated a Clinton run for president in 2016, making clear that while Obama’s term ends in two years, the Senate term is six years — something Clinton also mentioned.

Did she give her screech in a southern drawl?
A’am in no ways tard.
Hillary thinks Kentucky needs Ebola and ISIS for a change. Because that’s what the LW has brought to us so far
Scraping the bottom now, huh Alison?
Is she really there for the sippin’ whiskey and moonshine?
Some politicians just have that ole I’ll say anything to get your vote image and you would like for them to just go away. Her and her so called spouse have had their time in the White House.
No doubt she pulled a cork or two.
Just for medicinal purposes though. Her room-a-tiz has been acting up something fierce
Is Hillary going to run for president and talk about what happened in the 1990s when she and Bill were in the White House???,,, really???
She’s not going to talk about how wonderful the Obama years have been??? When she was part of his administration???
And Hillary is a good Democrat, and Obama is a good Democrat. How can she ignore the presidency of a good Democrat as she makes her sales pitch for the White House????
If she thinks anyone can afford to raise the minimum wage in today’s economy, she has definitely been hitting the sauce. Yes, Bill raised the minimum wage in the 90’s,and IIRC, that’s roughly around when businesses started fleeing to CHINA!
We know why you’re back, spiteful hag. Now go back to Fingers Willy before he invites hookers over.
Isn’t it amazing when liberals talk like that, the press completely ignores how incredibly racist and condescending it is towards blacks?
Um, sorry Honey, but you had your chance. Time to let the grown-ups take over. Don't go away mad - just go away!
She found out there are still a few coal mines the democrats haven’t shut down and promises to change things.....
Why isn’t Hillary hanging out with her granddaughter??? Bill said that Hillary wanted to be grandma more than she ever wanted to be president. So what’s with Hillary doing all this political stuff?????
“That’s because Ky. deserves a change in Washington”
Hillary, after the trip told her “aide” Huma: “I thought you were talking about K-Y, not Kentucky!”
“Remember when my husband ran for re-election — he said he wanted to build a bridge to the 21st century? Well unfortunately since he left office some people have been trying to tear that bridge down,” Clinton said.
Why do we still need a bridge back to the 20th century?
Are the Democrats really considering Hillary Clinton for President in 2016?
They want to put a racist in the White House?
We were told in 2008 that Bill and Hillary were racists.
A change to what?
The hill and bill arkancide machine?
Have anyone offed lately Mrs. Clinton?
Destroy any ladies reputations defending your prevert husband lately Mrs.Clinton?
Tell any lies lately about your activities while in gubmint Mrs.Clinton?
Would you ever have been anyone had you not attached your skirt to Bill, Hill?
“Ky. deserves a change in Washington’”
I agree—let’s start by getting rid of all RINOS and Libs.
