When you listen to her interviews or her stump speeches she hasn't changed her philosophy at all to adjust with the changing world or to adjust with the times.

Things are a lot different than they were even 8 years ago and she is still saying the same things.

Her views on foreign policy have not worked. She was a top diplomat with China as Secretary of State and we now owe them 2 trillion dollars for God's sake, and they don't even like us. We don't even get along with China. China's eonomy exploded once Bill Clinton put them in the world trade organization.

Another big thing. Instead of focusing strictly on terrorism. She talks about "foreign intervention for democracy". People in the middle East do not want to be like us. Trump says they don't share our values, so just focus on terrorism. Don't occupy and try to make them like us. We can't afford more foreign wars Hillary. Just look at her decisions in Libya. It gave ISIS a safe haven there.

She basically wants to keep foreign policy the same even though it's not working, same with Wall Street. Kill the middle class with your policies while her friends on wall Street get rich.

so who do you think has policies that would help more? Does any other candidate have a real plan to deal with college debt and costs? Real plans to limit the costs of healthcare?

Hillary has issues that is for sure. Policy is something she is said to know a lot about. Yet her policy's have been a failure
and as pointed out by the OP not up-dated to a changed and changing world. She is the cavewomen of choice for many who will not benefit by voting for her.

Trump is proposing allowing individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns. Also let people buy insurance from another state. Create some competition lowers costs some.

The best way to deal with college debt would be to create an economy with more jobs. And I think Trump appeals to some democrats because Trump talks about loan forgiveness programs.

She knows her policy. I give her that. But it looks outdated if you have common sense. She is totally off on foreign policy and the economy.

Trump's plan sounded pretty awesome to me. Change the economic incentives so that colleges have a stake in student loans so they will start caring if students are successful and be a lot more picky about allowing students to take degrees known for going no where. No other plan would actually solve the debt issue AND solve the fact the colleges actually could careless if you succeed afterwards. Right now colleges only care if you stick around and be a research slave.

This is why Trump would be a genius for president. He actually understands economic incentives to get real results instead of just having government pay for it.

We have all seen Trump's 'genius' plan for using universities to enrich himself. No thanks. The guy knows nothing but sales. Trump University pretty much speaks volumes of how he really thinks of education, not whatever he's spouting now to get elected.

College debt is to be addressed by the person with that debt. It is an obligation that the person incurred. As someone else has mentioned, Trump will create jobs which will allow people to pay off their debt if they work to do it.

Seriously, my husband and myself addressed our college debt by keep a tight budget, buying only what we absolutely needed until the debt was paid off. A debt for education is no different than any other debt.

Healthcare? Trump has that covered also. An absolute in being able to provide healthcare for citizens is to deport the illegal aliens who are sucking the public assistance teat dry and running up huge bills at hospitals that both the hospitals and Medicaid must absorb.

We the few that work can't carry the load anymore.

A lot of people spent $100,000 dollars to go to North Carolina State or Michigan State, and can't find a job. Maybe those college graduates should sue too.

If you're dumb enough to pay to go to Trump University because you think you will hit it big, you deserve to lose. It's a life lesson.
