Democrat Hillary Clinton’s bid to crash the Republican National Convention with the help of CBS interviewer Charlie Rose drew attention again to the failure of the administration to make Americans feel safe.
Channelling some of the comments former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani used to bash her, Clinton told Rose that Americans feel unsafe and are worried about their future after nearly eight years of President Obama, four of which she served as secretary of State.
“There is a lot of fear in our country. And when Americans are worried they’re looking for answers,” she said in trying to explain why Trump was doing so well in the polls against her.
“He’s providing simplistic, easy answers. ‘Let’s make America great again,’ which means basically, ‘We’ll go back to the way it was,'” she sneered.
Her comments echoed those made against her by the former New York Mayor inside the Republican Convention hall when he said, “The vast majority of Americans today do not feel safe. They fear for their children and they fear for themselves.”
