right before she gives us a line of bullshit focusing on one little symptom of a systemic problem. It's just rhetoric and pandering all day. For any real change, I can always count on her to "do more" to mischaracterize it.

"I don't want to pay for Donald Trump's kids to go to college," is such transparent bologna in the context of making the rich pay their fair share in taxes(in which case I would not care if we paid for their tuition), as if its HER making sure the rich don't take advantage of the poor taxpayer.
