Hillary Clinton Makes Surprise Appearance At Donald Trump Protest

Source: Huffinton Post

LAS VEGAS -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took aim at Donald Trump Monday evening, making a surprise appearance at a labor protest right outside his Trump International Hotel.

"You have to say...'no' to efforts to prevent you from organizing, to prevent you from having the kind of working conditions you deserve, the kind of wages that are going to give you a living wage," Clinton said at the rally. "And that means saying no to Donald Trump."

"Some people think Mr. Trump is entertaining. But I don't think it's entertaining when somebody insults immigrants, insults women. That is just unacceptable behavior," she added. "When we're here together in solidarity to organize, we also want to send a message to Mr. Trump: That if you're going to run for president, then you should represent all the people of the United States, and that includes hard-working people."

Clinton is in town for Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate, which is taking place at the nearby Wynn hotel.

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 organized Monday's protest to demand that Trump allow workers at his hotel to unionize.

Trump hates labor unions. I hope this helps people to unionize there.

Here work while a senator and most especially when she was Secretary of State drew not only praise from Democrats but a number of influential Republicans as was recently noted by Bill Clinton. Now I find that nearly ever post on this board bashes her relentlessly. Anyone who supports her candidacy is denounced as being the supporter of a pseudo Democrat and enabler of the evil 1% of whom she is secretly represents. It seems that now she doesn't have one quality that is worthy of praise. The transformation has been dramatic.

If this is the deeply held conviction of the majority on this board, I wonder if they will even show up at the polls and hand the election to Republican if Saint Bernie doesn't get the nomination. The result, I believe we can all agree would be catastrophic.

Applies to all candidates... except of course, The One you yourself support-- as there's always a distinction without a difference to be creatively imagined.
