Related: About this forumHillary Clinton knocks Jeb Bush over 'free stuff' remark
Hillary Clinton lambasted Jeb Bush on Facebook Monday, calling his comment that Democrats offer "free stuff" to African-American voters "deeply insulting."
In a question-and-answer session, Clinton compared Bush to Mitt Romney -- whose comments about low-income voters helped doom his 2012 candidacy -- and Donald Trump.
"I think people are seeing this for what it is: Republicans lecturing people of color instead of offering real solutions to help people get ahead, including facing up to hard truths about race and justice in America," Clinton wrote.
"Not to mention -- Republicans have no problem promising tax breaks and sweetheart deals to their corporate friends, but when Democrats fight to make sure all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care, early childhood education and job training, that's giving away 'free stuff"?!'" she wrote. "Talk about backwards."

low and not moving, he has the charisma and personality of a snail. This would not surprise me at all and his donors are not happy...
