23. Well there are differences to be sure
Sun May 8, 2016, 11:48 AM
May 2016

and the most popular ones will be economic.

Trump is for ending the trade agreements and Hillary has video of being for NAFTA, CAFTA and TPP to name a few.

Trump is for creating new jobs in America and Hillary has video on having more H1B visas and about the opportunities of off shoring.

You get the idea.

Just these 2 talking points will be played over and over again. No one will have to lie about it because they will have Hillary's own voice saying it. You think those who have lost jobs won't vote Trump just because of those 2 reasons? People are losing their homes, people are turning to food banks and people who have spent fortunes on education are getting stuck in minimum wage jobs. You think the social inequality is going to matter to people who for the first time are finding it difficult to keep a roof over their heads? Think again. Survival is the number one instinct in all humans, and for the first time in decades more than one generation is finding their survival threatened.

Hillary does not have a walk to the Presidency, no matter how many times you want to denigrate those who would vote for Trump.
