At a craft brewery in Hampton, New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton called out her Republican presidential opponents for sacrificing American jobs to appease the billionaire Koch Brothers and talk radio Tea Party extremists. In particular, Clinton criticized Republicans who want to dismantle the Export-Import Bank, which supplies loans and provides insurance to facilitate the sale of U.S. exports to international buyers.
A number of Republican presidential contenders have gone on record in favor of killing the Export-Import Bank, a move that could potentially eliminate a significant number of American jobs in the process. Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have pledged to shut down the Export-Import Bank. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush also have publicly expressed opposition to the Export-Import Bank.
Clinton argued at the Smuttynose Brewery that the Republican hopefuls were pursuing a job killing policy simply to placate extremists in their party, from the wealthy Koch Brothers to the loud voices on right-wing AM talk radio.
She contended that the Republican candidates were afraid to stand up to the Tea Party and talk radio. She added:
"It is wrong that candidates for president, who really should know better, are jumping on this bandwagon. It’s embarrassing."
Texas Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling dismissed Clinton’s comments by arguing that if she cared about small businesses and jobs she would be a supporter of “trade promotion authority, pro-growth tax reform, the Keystone pipeline and real regulatory relief”.
Whatever one thinks of the Import-Export Bank, Hillary Clinton hit upon a theme that will probably become a defining motif during her campaign. Republican presidential candidates are so busy pandering to wealthy donors or vocal Tea Party activists, that they refuse to enact common sense policies that benefit ordinary American workers.
Republican candidates are so fearful of losing support on their right flanks that they cower in submission to the dictates of their billionaire backers, or to the angry voices on talk radio. Presidential candidates who are afraid to do the right thing, because it might offend the “wrong people”, probably should seek another line of work. America needs a President who can lead, not one who only knows how to follow.
Can’t do better or does she epitomize the kind of character they aspire to?
How about all the private sector jobs lost to the Import Export bank? Federal government is doing gangbusters losing public money hand over fist.
They'd better get busy. She's out there "defining issues" and trying to marginalize the Good Guys.
Come on, Ted, call her out. Big and loud. About bass-ackward diplomacy, dead Americans, and unlimited illegal immigration.
In particular, Clinton criticized Republicans who want to dismantle the Export-Import Bank, which supplies loans and provides insurance to facilitate the sale of U.S. exports to international buyers.
So nice of Hillary to be concerned about international business people. How else would the Clinton Foundation get donations?
Even worse is wondering who in our society believes in and trusts this woman ...and why.
How do you do that $#*+? LOL
I think it’s a gift..as Im not really that bright
Hillarys head and face was one photo...the trike another,...the Hillary Parking Sign..another..and the hilly street yet another.
matching the angles was a real bear but I got a laugh out of it too,
Thank you!
“It is wrong that candidates for president, who really should know better, are jumping on this bandwagon. It’s embarrassing.”
Arrogant presumptuous HAG!
FUHC!
Why doesn’t the Clinton Foundation hire all the jobless for $700K/year like they/it did her daughter?
Hate to break it to her but a large number of the Republicans got reected BECAUSE of the Tea Paty’s support..

Hensarling, Jordan and maybe Labrador are letting Boehner ram through Obamatrade so these nerds can cast a vote on ex import bank.
You guys are missing Hillary’s strategy. The goal is to put Republicans on defense in regards to trade and jobs.
Dems are desperately trying to woo back blue-collar voters.
“Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that “NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t support this agreement.”
Yeah, but the Republicans will take the bait. That is the worst part of this.
Who is the President, again?
An honest reporter/reporterette would axe Hillary! if she intended to sic the IRS on the Tea Party if she elected...
