74. Hilary Clinton and the Democrats

Tue Oct 9, 2018, 10:06 PM

Oct 2018

I am most surprised by how right Hilary Clinton and the Democrats have been about Donald Trump and the results of his policies. The Democrats were just about 100% right about the results of the tax cuts. I did not expect the Democrats to be so right about the tax cuts. Just about everything Hilary Clinton said about Donald Trump's presidency has been proven right. She has been so right about Donald Trump's presidency that I am wondering if she was getting intelligence reports about him during the campaign. I do not think she, or President Obama did anything wrong during the election. I think former Presidents get daily briefings. So, maybe President Clinton was getting daily intelligence briefing that contained information about Donald Trump.
