May 2016

Clinton went around Ohio in 2008, looking at the devastation, and saying she was going to stand up for them on trade.

Now they find out from her emails she was pushing a trade agreement she told them she was against and she was the biggest cheerleader for TPP.

The Clintons sold them out and cashed in. The little people understand you aren't given that kind of money for nothing.
