At a Tuesday organizing event in Colorado, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton hammered Jeb Bush for his policies on womens health and immigration. While the media has focused heavily on the Donald Trump candidacy as of late, Hillary Clinton still seems razor focused on sharpening her attacks against Jeb Bush. The Clinton campaign may still regard Bush as the favorite to win the GOP nomination, despite Trumps current standing at the top of the GOP polls.
In Colorado, Clinton reiterated some of her most pointed criticisms against Jeb Bush, hitting him hard on key issues like womens health and immigration. Hillary Clinton vigorously defended Planned Parenthood, stating:
"Jeb Bush said he is not sure we need half a billion dollars for womens health issues. Now, he has got no problem giving billions of dollars away to super wealthy and powerful corporations, but I guess womens health just isnt a priority for him.
This really isnt complicated. When you attack Planned Parenthood, you attack womens health, and when you attack womens health, you attack Americas health."
She continued her trenchant criticism of Jeb Bush, by adding:
"I have been, as many of you have, fighting for women and children and families for my entire life. I am really tired of the double-speak. I am tired of women being shamed and blamed and dismissed."
In addition, to slamming Bushs indifference to womens health, Clinton also leveled criticism against him for his inhumane stance on immigration. Taking a dig at Bushs euphemistically named Right to Rise PAC, Clinton stated:
"I dont know how anyone can say they believe in a Right to Rise and then push policies that leave behind millions of hardworking people and families, and even expose them to deportation. That is not the America we believe in and has been a home for immigrants across our history...."

(16,104 posts)- which are discounted and under assault by the Republican Party - with a progressive liberal Democratic candidate as qualified as Hillary, how could it be rationally and reasonably argued another old white man is better for women?
Now, if it's other old white men doing the arguing, I understand - but what woman would stand in the way? That I just don't understand.

(15,682 posts)but, for me, there's an ick factor just thinking of certain old white men talking about women's issues.
I really, really value the idea of having Hillary represent us.

A LOT of people are really tired of it. Hope she continues to hammer on this message.
