GOP Heavyweights Test New Attack Against Hillary Clinton

Before posting the article, I want to note that I think Hillary is a lousy campaigner. Her gaffes are startling. After all this time in politics she should be far more skillful at avoiding them.


Prominent Republicans barnstorming the country ahead of next week's midterm elections are testing a new line of attack against Hillary Clinton, slamming the former secretary of state for her comment that businesses don’t create jobs.

Clinton quickly corrected herself on Monday, arguing that the "economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in an America where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out -- not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas."

But one quote was enough for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who, like Clinton, has been making moves toward a future presidential run. "Hillary Clinton says, 'Well, businesses don't create jobs,'" the Kentucky Republican told a GOP audience on Tuesday. "Anybody believe that?"

Both sides jump on gaffes, and I am sure that Dems will fight amongst themselves when the 2016 campaigning gets into full gear.
I can see why her supporters want to squash any other candidates right now, Hillary does tend to "misspeak".
