Hillary Clinton blasts Donald Trump during Colorado visit, promises “millions of jobs”


Hillary Clinton talks economy, infrastructure in Commerce City


COMMERCE CITY — Days after Donald Trump’s visit, Hillary Clinton returned to Colorado to offer a rebuttal — blasting her Republican rival Wednesday for outsourcing the manufacturing of his branded products to other countries and his criticism of the family of a fallen soldier. “There is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is unqualified to be president and unfit to be commander in chief,” Clinton told a crowd of 2,000 in the gymnasium at Adams City High School.

In this working class suburb north of Denver, where some voters feel left behind by the state’s economic recovery, Clinton pledged to create “millions of jobs with rising incomes” and the “biggest infrastructure investment programs since World War II. We are not satisfied with where we are in the country,” Clinton said, “but we think we know how to make progress together.”

. . . . . .

The Democratic candidate pivoted often to Trump in her remarks, condemning his business practices, particularly how his products are made in other countries. But her strongest words came in a visit earlier in the afternoon to Knotty Tie, a Denver clothing maker that employs African refugees.
. . . . .

“If he wants to ‘make America great again,’ he should start by making things in America,” she added a moment later, reprising Trump’s campaign slogan. “And there’s a lot he could learn by coming here.”

she will not see anywhere near those million jobs.
With our new freedoms here in Colorado we are doing very well creating jobs. Now if the rest of the country were to put an end to the insane war on drugs we would all reap the benefits of "millions" of new jobs.

I am mostly concerned about her position on the incarceration of millions of Americans in the for profit prison industry and wish she would have taken note of the progress we have made in Colorado.
She used our good employment environment to bash Trump, which I am glad she did, but she left out one of the biggest economic growth segments of our state.

I believe she did make mention about criminal justice reform, and do agree that she needs to talk about it more.

The levels of corruption and the harm to real families is one of the most pressing issues for Americans of all races. Our society is tainted by the injustice.
