Clinton's address at Detroit Manufacturing Systems, a manufacturer of instrument panels for cars, offered her the opportunity to contrast herself with both Sanders and business mogul Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate.

The unemployed should be retrained to give $635,000 speeches to Goldman Sachs. Then everybody will be rich!

Bubba didn’t do squat, his mess the first couple of years put the H.O R. In Republican control who pushed thru balanced budget and welfare reform that bubba vetoed twice only to finally sign it before the 96 election because he was in trouble in the polls.

That and the tech boom took off.

This sums up her problem.

Nobody finds her credible.

If it requires more than 2 unicorns or 5 golden egg laying geese it’s not credible to her. She mets those requirements but Bernie triples those numbers so vote hillary

Hillary should repeat Bill’s SOTU address...
“The Era of Big Government is OVER!”
But she wouldn’t win the Dem nomination then.
