What kind of politician are you that you don't spend time figuring out how to capitalize on the latest tragedy?
You know you don't really sound like a politician at all.
You sound like a principled leader.

(3,919 posts)but not the flint mayor's declaration of a state of emergency in early december - the morning after her election.
with everyone across the country now well aware of the situation, it seems more a coinky-dink that he requested disaster relief 2 hours after her statement. but hey, let her highness think she's all that and a bag of chips as much as she wants. her delusions will not get her elected.
the persons who really deserve the credit are the mom who complained and sent her water for testing out of state, the chemist, and the dr.... the new mayor, and Rachel Maddow.

but, if it gives hillary a chance to preen her feathers, sigh, she will do so.
