30 years?

Trump is always saying that Hillary has been in Washington 30 years and hasn't gotten anything done. Where does he get 30 years?

She became First Lady in 1993. That's 23 years ago for 8 years. Not only that the First Lady doesn't really have any power to change anything.

Then she went into the Senate and the Democrats were only in charge during the 110th Congress - that's 2 years.

Then she was Secretary of State for 4 years.

Where does Donald Trump get that she's been in Washington 30 years and hasn't changed anything?

I've been listening to Trump say that for a while and had to look it up. Hillary wasn't even a politician until 2001.

I believe I've heard this site is Right Wing but even Politico is debunking that claim.

We know how terrible Republicans are at math and Science.

We have over 5 decades of Supply Side Economic or Trickle Down

to prove they do not understand math.

Perhaps they do understand math and their plan has been to

bankrupt 99% of the U.S. population.

Donald Trump just spews nonsense.

His supporters lap it up.

where, while they weren't technically on the national stage, Bill was an up and comer in Dem politics. That's where they started to get some attention in the press and that's where the Repubs date from.
