Why will Hillary's role as a grandmother make her a better president? What specific public policies will this affect?
Will Hillary advocate for more assistance for single parents, the only group of low-wage workers whose wages are supplemented by streams of unearned income, such as hundreds in food stamps, housing assistance, childcare assistance, energy assistance, cash assistance and lump sum Earned Income Tax Credit checks of between $3,250 - $6,044 to spend on anything they want, not just their kids?

Will Hillary's role as a grandmother make her more sensitive to low income, unsubsidized workers whose $270 tax return checks will be consumed by the Obamacare penalty next year?

Will she advocate for more paid time off for moms in the workplace? How will this help unsubsidized workers who compete with them for jobs? How will this help job growth for those who lack taxpayer subsides?

Does childbirth and grandmotherhood make someone a bigger expert on job creation or other structural, economic issues that affect voters who do not receive taxpayer support due to motherhood?
