Hillary Clinton: We Don't Need Candidates Who 'Talk Trash About America'

by Monica Alba


TAMPA, Fla. — Hillary Clinton made no mention of her potential running mate during a rally here Friday evening, instead delivering a fiery rebuttal to Donald Trump's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

"The last thing we need is somebody running for president who talks trash about America," Clinton said of the Republican nominee's lengthy address in Cleveland.

Though she acknowledged the focus on her at the GOP convention in general was "kind of perversely flattering," she slammed Trump's two main messages: "I alone can fix this" and "I am your voice."

it appeals to all of the people who he has scared with his doom and gloom crap. All of those older white conservatives that want to REGRESS back to a time when they were kept in the dark and brainwashed to believe that life was better than it really was.
