Likewise, Clinton told Republicans on Sunday: “This is a time to pick country over party”. I’m not satisfied with the status quo.
“I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband or President Obama”.
“But I am going to respond when he insults Americans”, she said, her voice rising, “when he insults workers, when he insults unions, when he insults people who work hard for a living every single day”.
