How does that make her "not a friend of gun owners"?
Apparently to be "a friend of gun owners" you need to advocate the position that anyone who can fog a mirror should be able to get them.

Nope, no words in your mouth, you clearly stated that:

Companies are having a tough time filling jobs. That's because too many Americans like you just long for those low-pay unskilled jobs and never bothered to update their skill.

The well pay jobs are here. Don't blame anyone but yourself if you can't get one.

America's persistent problem: Not enough skilled workers

Humdrum and High-Skilled Jobs Are Going Unfilled

So?

You don't know that presidents appoint people to handle certain tasks?

Last time Bill Clinton got his hands on the economy, almost everyone got paid handsomely. If you have to pick one person to handle the economy, that person would be Bill Clinton.

The lefty response is proof that the left understands guns are needed for self defense. The difference is lefties think not all people are important enough to have the right to defend themselves.
You shouldn't be the one to explain.

HRC doesn't believe guns aren't necessary for protection. She's for common-sense gun laws; she's not for a ban of all guns.

Your argument cannot be taken seriously if you rely on hyperbole and extreme conservative talking points.

Uninformed people laugh at the dotcom bubble like it was a bad thing. It created many lasting companies from eBay to Amazon. And it paved the way for our current tech dominance. Without the first dotcom, our country would have been in real trouble. The bust only took away the weakings, those that survived include many businesses that we cannot live without today.

Clinton's role in our tech dominance is to simply recognize its potential and foster a great creative environment to let businesses flourish. That's why you almost always see a boom of innovative businesses during Democratic presidency. They don't block new technology (think Bus) or interfere with global trade (think Trump).

The Republican Senate did a few good things and also some bad things. All in all, the gist of the credit goes to Bill Clinton.

If guns are bad, why should Hillary employ them? Also, if walls aren't effective, why is there a wall around the White House and the Vatican? If carbon emissions are bad, why does obama fly?
