Clinton wrong on view of nation

I didn’t know weather to laugh or cry the other night when I heard Hillary Clinton in a TV interview say, “I don’t know the troubled country that Donald Trump was talking about the other day at the RNC!”

She said that she felt that our country is better off than ever before. Well, if you or I had all our bills paid for the last couple of decades we would probably feel the same way.

Can you imagine having free health and dental, free home, free chauffeur-driven car and not having to write a check to pay for anything? And she “thinks she is in touch with our daily living responsibilities?”

On top of that, at our expense, she has been investigated by our government almost her whole political career, costing us the people millions and millions of dollars. It is great that a woman has been nominated for president, but I personally question her policies and judgment.
