Clinton's track record on improving black lives slim

What has Hillary Clinton done for black people?

Over 25 years of being in politics I've not seen a whole lot of improvement in black lives due to her policies. Her husband, President Bill Clinton, sent many of their jobs south with NAFTA.

Bernie Sanders will cause all boats to rise with his tide and may even save Marco Rubio from his naivete about climate change.

Rubio killed his chances in Florida when he denied climate change. His home town of Miami is feeling the effects of the change. Some people will deny climate change until the water is over their heads!
