FactChecking Clinton’s Speech

[longknife]

Everything I've seen before leads me to believe this is a left-leaning site. So, this surprises me. What's going on here?



Clinton said 15 million private-sector jobs have been created since President Obama took office. The actual number is 10.5 million, and it’s less — 10.1 million — when accounting for the loss of 460,000 public jobs.

Clinton said “90 percent” of income gains “have gone to the top 1 percent.” But that is an outdated figure. It’s now 52 percent.

Clinton said that “we’re going to pay for every single one” of the initiatives she has proposed. We can’t predict the future, but a nonpartisan analysis found her proposals would add to the national debt.

Clinton misrepresented Donald Trump’s “I alone can fix it” line, suggesting he said he could fix everything by himself. Trump was referring to a “rigged” system, and went on to talk about working with others.

We all expect Democrats to be fast and loose with the facts and she did not disappoint. What I wanted to hear was the vaunted Clinton plan loaded with SPECIFICS. She ended up talking about Trump most of the time and making meaningless, feel good phrases like "We will solve the problems together".

It was a very dull, uninspiring speech. Hillary is also really hard to listen to. She is a little frail woman trying to sound big and tough. It doesn't work.

What's going on here? Well, it seems most people here (and the rest of the country) are not very impressed with "The Donald" Whenever a site or news organization tells republicans something they don't want to hear, the GOP calls it "the liberal media" or "a liberal site" Sorry about that!
