76. I'm not here to "argue". Are you?

This is discussion of blatant hypocrisy
born of political expediency.

Hillary is seeking to score cheap
political points WITHOUT actually
providing any details on what
"hard truths" actually means.

What are these "hard truths"?
What would she do about these "hard truths"?

HOW WILL HILLARY END ISSUES OF
RACE, GUNS, VIOLENCE AND DIVISION?

Is she going to wave a magic wand?
Will we all hold hands and sing kumbaya?

Hard truths demand SERIOUS solutions!
What is Hillary's solution?
