Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN)Hillary Clinton stopped at a union rally outside Donald Trump's hotel on the Strip here, taunting the Republican front-runner on the eve of the first Democratic presidential debate.
"Some people think Trump is entertaining, but it is not entertaining to insult immigrants and women," Clinton said.
Clinton joined about 500 members of the Culinary Workers Union -- a powerhouse in Nevada, with 55,000 members. The group is lobbying to organize the Trump International Hotel here.
"If you are going to run for president, then represent all of the people of the United States," she said. "I wanted to come by to lend my voice to all yours and I wish you well in these efforts."
She also stressed that workers should have the right to unionize and that, as president, she would protect those rights.

"Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trumps efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape."
Doesn't sound like obvious mutual hatred to me.

Do you expect Democrats to physically attack or at least snarl at any Republican or Conservative any time they see them? To obviously include at a night out with spouses?
This hatred of Clinton is beyond irrational.

(5,082 posts)These aren't just chummy photos and it says what's wrong with DC. The government is supposed to protect people from corporations not the other way around. My big issue is Hillary and Bill being considered rare, intimate family friends of the Bushes...they actually refer to each other as family. I guess Bush Sr is thankful for Bill's IranContra cooperation stymieing investigations in order to "move forward".

(5,082 posts)I have no sympathy for those on DU who are offended by the vitriol against Hillary. There is a reason for it so get a clue...if her own party feels betrayed by her how do you think crucial independents will react. Bernie is our only hope collectively.

WATCH: Hillary Clinton Joins Protest Outside Trump Hotel
In town for Tuesday, nights debate, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton joined an organized labor protest outside one of Donald Trumps Las Vegas hotels.
Clinton joined Culinary Workers Union Local 226 who have been fighting to unionize at the reality stars hotel and had pointed words for Trump.
Some people think Mr. Trump is entertaining. But I dont think its entertaining when somebody insults immigrants, insults women. That is just unacceptable behavior. When were here together in solidarity to organize, we also want to send a message to Mr. Trump: That if youre going to run for president, then you should represent all the people of the United States, and that includes hard-working people.
Watch the rest of her remarks here:
