Clinton camp highlights Trump's past comment rooting for housing market to collapse
The Clinton campaign is out with a new media blitz, including a web video, to criticize Trump's comment in 2006 that seemed to be rooting for the housing market to collapse so he could make money. "I sort of hope that happens, because then people like me would go in and buy. If there is a bubble burst, as they call it, you know you could make a lot of money." The Washington Post: "About a dozen surrogates and local elected officials in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and elsewhere will host calls, events and release statements focused on Trump's response to the housing crisis that precipitated the economic recession.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), will be engaged in the efforts and Ryan will host a conference call with reporters at noon Tuesday to hammer home the message. 'You don't make America great by rooting for its economy to fail,' Ryan said in a statement."
Trump vs. Clinton on the issues
Why is the Clinton camp focused on that 2006 comment? One reason is that -- at least right now -- Trump has the advantage on the economy and Wall Street, according to our latest NBC/WSJ poll.

(384 posts)Most opinion polls show that people don't necessarily fault corporations for operating withing the rules. They fault the people who developed the system of unfair rules in the first place. Trump simply took advantage of the mistakes financial "reformers" like Clinton made.
She will look terrible if she pushes this line of attack.
