Seeing as this is a strategy game forum I'm not surprised that most of us are wanting more substance. I don't think the polls would be kind to the Dems if they just projected spreadsheets for four days... keep in mind this is what they're competing against:
This is the polar opposite of leadership. Lying to people because you know it's what they want to believe, rather than convincing them they have it wrong.

I think this guy is making an important point though- that Hillary fought to help first responders, while Trump used 9/11 as a payday.
And that bill to assist first responders is still stalled out in the house if I remember correctly.
Despite Hillary Clinton's and Jon Stewart's best efforts... thanks Republicans
If that was her best effort I'm thoroughly unimpressed at her ability "get stuff done", I think those needing the bill feel similarly.
You know full well that those bills need to be voted on
Which is why Hillary used her political influence and presence to help John save those people's lives... Oh wait, that's not what she did, she said practically nothing while they died off until she was ready to take credit for passing the bill which she watched fade away with little more than a blog post.
You know that's disgusting politics manifest, please don't lower yourself to dismissing/minimizing it.
here is an inspirational pinterest post for you:
Lol I don't hate her, I just don't buy the propaganda. She's likable enough

It is, but sadly he's not totally wrong. Politics are a social phenomenon, and each voter lives in his or her own reality. Until we collectively become more like the Vulcans, ethos is often the most logical emphasis in politics (especially for presidential elections where it's two carefully constructed characters on display).

That I would totally support, the man can tell a story.
I wish he could know when he was going to die and just told everything he knew about the underbelly of politics just before he croaked (before senility set in).
