In reply to the discussion: “The economy is rigged. The banking system is rigged... you haven't had an effective wage increase" [View all]Attorney in Texas
(3,373 posts)37. They'll conclude "Trump's plan may or may not work, but Hillary says there is no problem to be fixed
so at least Trump recognizes the economy is broken for people like me while she keeps talking about this wonderful economic recovery that her friends on Wall Street are enjoying."
Trump is full of shit, but his campaign is smart enough to address the issue. Hillary needs to address the issue, too, or Trump will brand this issue as "Main Street vs. Wall Street" and that WILL NOT PLAY OUT WELL.

Trump is a self-aggrandizing bigot without any core values. Hillary's not a bigot.

Hillary sees this as a left vs. right election. Trump will ignore that and run populist vs. elitist.
