Constructive Criticism of Hillary Clinton [View all]

As a sampling, she has failed to do the following things during her campaign:

1. She has not investigated creating clones of herself so she can visit every city in the country to make a personal appearance. Simple personal cloning would make that possible. She needs to keep up with the latest technology.

2. She has only put her position papers on her web site, instead of reading them aloud every time she is in public. Why can't she spend hours doing that every time she speaks? That's what I want to know. How are people supposed to find: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

3. She has failed to shout that she opposes TPP. She has said that she opposes it now, will oppose it after the election and will oppose it as President. But, she needs to shout that loudly, again and again. Apparently, people are not hearing her well enough, since many keep talking about TPP as if she favors it.

4. She isn't following Donald Trump's path of braggadocio, bluster, and lies in her campaign. She needs to keep up with him in those areas, to avoid letting Trump make all the news. She's far too clear, concise and truthful in her campaigning. Drama! She needs more drama!

I encourage you all to post your own similar constructive criticism of our candidate in this thread. It's all for the betterment of her campaign, after all...
