Can Hillary criticize Trump over ties made in China despite never creating a job herself?

Well you might actually be on to something there. I agree with your sentiment. If you've not walked in someone's shoes, perhaps it wouldn't hurt any of us to dial back the criticism and judgmental nature we all seem to be more than willing to hurl out.

I've heard that making legislation is kind of like making sausage. It's not a pretty sight, and not for the faint of heart, but in theory anyway, it's supposed to come out OK.

That doesn't mean I can't hold a contrary opinion to someone in business, or a politician, but let's just be aware that until you've actually accomplished/attempted something yourself, you don't always really understand what it takes to make it work.

If politicians, who've never run a for-profit business, are taking pot shots at another regarding their business acumen, perhaps that's not the role of a politician, who theoretically "serve" us....the citizens of the US. They are not our bosses, in fact, we're their bosses, and I'm not all that excited about taking business advice from someone who's experience perhaps is limited to spending someone else's money that was taken from them by mandated taxes. They are there to legislate, preferable good legislation, and then go home and let someone else take over after a few years. That hasn't worked out very well as we all know. Many, if not most politicians have been there for far to long (some for decades, both parties by the way) and have lost sight of what the private sector really is, and how "for-profit" businesses really work.

All government really is, is a huge "non-profit" enterprise. A necessary one, but none the less, let's call a spade a spade.

I couldn't care less about some silly debate on who's teaching who a lesson.

No, Hillary's never created a job and I don't expect her to. Nor would I expect Trump to if he's elected.

Trump has already created jobs that have put thousands to work. Hillary is beholden to inept Obama policy.

WE have a Canadian designer selling beautiful silk "Dump Trump" ties. They are made in Italy at present but he is looking for a US tie maker to produce these selling out ties!

Canadian clothier sells

As for HRC having never created a job, she has never claimed to be a business person. I have been listening to the right wing crow for years that politicians don't and should not create jobs!!! That is the job of the private sector, so they say over and over again!
