Hillary Clinton unleashes her own 3:20 a.m. Twitter storm

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton gamely took advantage of the media attention given to Donald Trump's early morning Friday tweet attacking former Miss Universe Alicia Machado with her own early morning tweet Saturday on her plan to increase national service.

Clinton's 3:20 a.m. tweet links to an essay on her plan to expand the ranks of AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000, increase the size of the Peace Corps and create a new National Service Reserve with 5 million members who would be available to mobilize in the event of a natural disaster or some other large calamity.

Clinton writes:

"My opponent and I have very different views  —  not just about what makes America great and what we should do to make it even greater, but also about that basic question of how progress happens at all. He believes in a strongman approach. He even stood on stage at his convention and said, 'I alone can fix it.'”
