Tom Brokaw made a major mistake on the air....and I hope it wasn't harmful to Hillary.

He said that she didn't offer a policy to working Americans about job retraining.

That is flat out false. She offered exactly that when she talked about how we needed to offer educational and training goals beyond a four year college.

He was reaching to find anything to harm Hillary. If she spoke to absolutely everything in detail, her speech would last until voting day.
