Her step-daughter dying from alcohol/opiate addiction had no place in a debate about legalizing/decriminalizing marijuana.
If she wanted to bring it up and point out the prescription drug/opiate epidemic we have in this country, there are plenty of other times to do so.
One of the reasons we don't have sane drug policies in this country is because of political sensationalism like that.
But you think one of her strengths is her detailed presentation of foreign policy in debates, nonsense!
CF gleefully when the audience was beemed on her stated that the first thing she would do when elected is call her good friend
Bibi N. and assure him of her support & also she wouldn't talk to Putin. Then a few days later the 'Carly Doctrine'
was blown to bits when Netanyahu flew to Moscow jumping at the chance to converse with Putin about foreign
affairs conderning their respective nations.

Basically Trump was fooled by some random site and false reporting.
Ford is saying HOLA SENOR and building the plant in Mexico. According to a spokeswoman just yesterday. As you can see in the article.
I'm all for it Trump wanting to bring jobs to America. Nativist bullying, tariffs, protection isn't going to do it though.
"Hands off our jobs!" Can't be this countries policy towards globalization over the next 20 years.
I said she's an excellent debater. Nothing about detailed foreign policy. She is very focused, talks in relatable sound bites, plays the victim well, and is very good at putting someone down politely but effectively. She's been in 2 debates so far, and won them both decisively. Her poll numbers rise decidedly after debates, and if she has another good one, I expect that to happen again. I've stated many times she's not a factor for POTUS, but would and should be a strong factor for VPOTUS, depending on the winning R POTUS candidate, and the D candidate, which is all but certain to be Hillary.
Financially prudent?
The biggest impediment to real wealth creation and jobs here as well as Europe right now is socialism: govt policies pricing manufacturing out of the market.
Either people will have to come to grips with reality and demand real reform, or we will continue down the current path where wealth from decades past is siphoned offshore to more "business friendly" economies.
Unfortunately, the political environment in most modern Western economies isn't conducive to real economic growth anymore...
"too big to fail"
"social justice"
"soak the rich"
"economic inequality"
...and so on.
In short, we have to stop creating and chasing these ridiculous, failed nonsensical political scripts and just allow capitalism to work.

You mean the browning of America? Isn't that a different issue?
I'm talking about the fact the developing world is growing substantially in terms of economic power and production capability. Despite the fact that we still have a smart, innovative workforce, there just is more competition than ever before in terms of intellect, resources and ingenuity.
Going forward the way to compete is going to be to lower costs and have as much of a pro-business/innovation environment as possible.
We're not going to guilt 100 billion dollar companies into building plants in Youngstown, Ohio.
A protectionist tariff is a gov't policy...What did you take financially prudent to mean? I.e less regulations/taxes....Even lower wages, the reason we can't have lower wages is because thanks to gov't policy, the cost of everything essential has skyrocketed the last 20-30 years.
Taxing ford 35% for building a plant in Mexico or demonizing an American automaker isn't going to change that. No matter how much Trump and his working-class base wish it would...
A protectionist tariff is sometimes necessary when other governments aren't playing fair. Capitalism works, but only on a true level playing field.
I don't think the avg. voter has a clue why their wages are stagnant, "the rich keep getting richer" and bedrock American industries are flying the coop. Not a clue...
What I do see is clueless (economic-illiterate) politicians stepping forward with 'solutions' (Obama, Clinton, Kasich, Sanders etc.) which only make things infinitely worse.
Yes and sometimes you also have to fight subsidies with your own subsidies or your industry gets killed. I.e sugar lobby, fossil fuels.
I'm not aware of any manipulation going on in relation to Ford moving to Mexico though. They're likely moving there because it is just significantly cheaper to build a plant there and wages are less. The response to this can't be "F them, we're going to show those unpatriotic MFers"...All that does is fire people up with more populist rhetoric, which as you just said, isn't the solution.
We need someone to articulate to people that globalization is no joke, if it doesn't start getting significantly cheaper to do business here then it won't be done here.

TPP? more nonsense to appease the corporates; is USA trying to destroy USA? HOW is wage and environmental arbitrage with 3rd world countries FAIR?
which begs the question; what's the most expedient way to 'level the playing field'? tariffs-- Any chance they'd be less factories heading out of N America?
think i posted this before, unsure, so i'll post again;
sneak preview for the TPP?
'In March 2012, President Obama inaugurated a free trade pact with South Korea and in many ways, it provides a template for what we may expect from a broader TPP.
Imports from South Korea are up 3.6 billion, U.S. exports are down marginally and the U.S. trade deficit with the Asian nation has swelled to 5 billion. That free trade deal alone has killed about 25,000 American jobs—mostly in high paying manufacturing activities—and added to downward pressures on wages and worsened income inequality'
one of the countries listed in the TPP is Brunei. HUH?......why Brunei?....where the fuck is Brunei?........
Jeb Bush’s chief operating officer has left the campaign, marking the highest-level departure from the former Florida governor’s team.
COO Christine Ciccone resigned a few weeks ago, according to a senior Bush aide -- though the departure was not made public until Friday when The Wall Street Journal first reported it.
OOPS!
