Clinton takes on Trump: 'America never stopped being great'
POLUTICO ^ | February 28, 2016 | Nick Gass

Posted on 02/28/2016 5:30:04 AM PST by McGruff

Less than an hour after her commanding win in South Carolina, Hillary Clinton took the stage and declared the presidential race is going national. And that meant going directly after Donald Trump.

"Despite what you hear, we don't need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great. But we do need to make America whole again. Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers," Clinton said.

The families of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods & Glen Doherty think otherwise.

The families of those killed by illegal aliens think otherwise.

The families of the thousands of AMERICAN employees who have lost their jobs because their companies moved to Mexico or China think otherwise.

The families in Chicago who lost loved ones from gang violence think otherwise.

The families of veterans who died waiting for medical attention at the VA or who committed suicide think otherwise.

The men and women who lost arms, legs or vision in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan think otherwise.

The millions and millions of people who have had their hours reduced due to Obamacare and now are working 2 or 3 jobs to pay the bills think otherwise.

The millions and millions of aborted babies would think otherwise, if they’d only had a chance to voice their opinion.

The millions and millions of people who had decent insurance who now have had their premiums quadrupled and have $10,000 deductibles every year (or more) think otherwise.

SHUT UP, YOU OLD CLUELESS LYING HAG !!! JUST SHUP UP.

“America is great - but her leaders have not been, including Himself and Her Highness.”

Agreed, and it is important to think about what in our society has provided the easiest route to ‘leadership’. The answer for many, including Hillary, is sadly not based upon what they've done in adulthood, but actually is based upon what they did between the ages of 13 and 17.

Hillary's entire career is predicated upon getting into Wellesley. The ‘pedigree’ this provided clearly helped her gain admission to Yale Law School, and this is what launched everything for her. Not to say she would have gotten very far in politics without Bill, as he doesn't have his personality and campaign skills, but even meeting him depended upon getting into Wellesley, as a stepping stone into Yale Law.

For Obama it began even earlier, as he went to a prestigious prep school that gave him an even earlier pedigree.

There is a huge and actually tragic problem with this whole scenario that drastically hurts America and American society. It's an elitism based upon nothing legitimate, and contrary to what has been sold to the public, it is definitively not true that the ‘brightest and the best’ go specific colleges, universities, and graduate schools. It has never been, and never will be that simple, and it actually deprives America from leadership by many who would be imminently better equipped.

The school you go to does not define how bright you are and what your capabilities are. It just defines how you spent your time between the ages of 13-17, or what connections your family had (either by finance or legacy), or whether you were the member of a specific demographic the colleges/universities wanted to add to their ‘diversity’ portfolio.

This is a very real contributor to the terrible leadership we've had for too long.

Of course... all she cares is making us into doormats, plying us with lie after lie.

Folks.

If there is ANY doubt that the Donald is poised to deliver here, we should put our minds at ease, even if our ears will sting with the language we hear.

Hillary is the quintessential “Let them be doormats.”

Donald is the quintessential “I won’t be a doormat.”

Talk about a cat and dog fight that will emit sounds that will chill you to the bone. The Irresistable Force will have met the Immovable Object.

She fails the US flag metric at every public appearance. All Dems do until the convention. It’s a small detail but very telling. They hate America!

I’d ask, if they believe America never stopped being great, why do they keep trying to change it?

And... I don’t “worship” Donald. The only one I can really worship is God.

However I think we are going to be faced with reasons to be “revering” Donald before long. Our real fear should be a fear of God. God has brought us Donald for this occasion. Will we stand behind Donald for this purpose? He isn’t perfect nor does he need to be to puncture that hag-bag of lies. But we can’t be ourselves his own worst enemy.

Since she says we have systemic institutional racism, I guess she thinks that is OK?

She’s completely wrong about that. The liberals have killed the American Dream.

“Hillary is out of touch. She will lose.”

Not just out of touch — she’s ill-prepared, apparently in poor health, very low energy, a control freak at events, and has the single most horrible political record of anyone I can think of. And that is saying something!

She has to run though, how else can she destroy all of the evidence and ensure her continued life outside of prison?

I check. The most recent trade deficit is at about 750 billion dollars.

Well Hillary. American greatness isn’t projected when we make promises we don’t keep, when we fund IS, when we capitulate to everyone everywhere,when the DiC shreds the constitution and congress does nothing, when we have 93 million unemployed who are not counted because they have given up, or when the DC political class spends their time spitting on their constituents.

Be careful smarmy one. I might just be a Cruz supporter.

America never stopped being great? She’s talking to people whose life experiences will tell them she’s a liar.

Well, it is convincing when you consider who her audience is - The lgbt community, the illegals, and the globalists.

“Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great. But we do need to make America whole again. Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers,” Clinton said.

Despite the commentary posted here, this will resonate with the LIV and apolitical...

In many peoples minds people like Trump are the reason we are not whole as a nation...the evil 1 % corporate CEO’s stealing all the countries wealth...

I’m not saying that is true, it is a natural sequitur to the left’s progressive narrative...

They will try and tag Trump with it...
