- HRC is not WJC
- she's not a "neoliberal" No trickle down economics, no lassez fair capitalism
------you can smear her with buzzword as much as you want. It isn't true
- economic policies of HRC were left and the opposite of GOP
-----increase taxes on wealthy and corps that outsource

-----believes in global warming
-----education/retraining of workers (rather than lying that manufacturing was coming back)
-----unions endorsed her because they know she supports them.
-----etc
- your talking points about Russian interference are the same as Trump and the GOP.
