basically. if you have a bunch of people trying to get up a ladder, only some of them are going to make it.

Sure...if it's only one ladder. But "ladders" convey plural, none of HRC's plans were exclusive or limited. Opportunity for all.

Fight for 15 is such a different topic, and not the panacea you make it out to be. There need to be GOOD JOBS, not $15-for-scut.

Hillary didn't think the sucking chest wound merited that much.

there's where you're wrong. But maybe she failed to get THAT across. But Trumpster yelling "JOBS!" isn't a fucking plan, either.
