Hillary Clinton, Democratic National Convention Nomination Acceptance Address, delivered 28 July 2016, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

That sales pitch he's making to be your President?  Put your faith in him -- and you'll win big?  That's the same sales pitch he made to all those small businesses. Then Trump walked away, and left working people holding the bag.   He also talks a big game about putting America First. Please explain to me what part of America First leads him to make Trump ties in China, not Colorado.  Trump suits in Mexico, not Michigan. Trump furniture in Turkey, not Ohio.  Trump picture frames in India, not Wisconsin. Donald Trump says he wants to make America great again -- well, he could start by actually making things in America again.
