Hillary's got some exciting ideas!!

It's getting so you feel like Hillary's main selling point is she's "stable" and "not Trump." If you didn't hear her economic speech in Detroit yesterday, check it out on Youtube. It really got my blood running. Hope remains the word!

How many times do politicians say they are gonna do this and that and do the exact opposite.. I had great hopes for many democrats over the years but it just kinda fizzled out. Corporate handlers one out...

What stopped great Dem plans is GOP obstruction. We need to flip the House and Senate. Your maligning of Hillary and Dems will not help us do that. Nor will your shitting on this thread.

And you're right, it's very exciting, especially in comparison to the hollow promises made by Stein for example: "I'll end college debt and US military involvement in the Middle East!" Sure she will. The Clintons on the other hand have thought it through and come up with a winning hand.

To anyone that calls her a lesser evil, I would say she is fighting for a greater good.
Here is a link to the speech, which I posted yesterday as well. The more that see it, the better.

My personal favorite is her profit sharing plan to increase middle class wages. It gives businesses tax incentives to allow employee profit sharing. This will lower taxes on business, increase productivity (people work harder, smarter and more creatively knowing they'll get a piece of the bottom line), and increase middle class wages, which have been stagnant. And as it is being sold as a tax cut, it has a good chance of passing the House!

It is sad that this thread does not have more activity. Even sadder that the first post is nothing but pointless anti-Hillary snark. We are supposed to be past this.

May I suggest you please provide a link and/or list the plans? Perhaps your post was just too cryptic and nonspecific. Even DUers are not familiar with her great plans.
