Clinton just proposed more policies in one speech than Trump has in the entire campaign

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders both have grand, overarching visions of what’s gone wrong with the US economy. Hillary Clinton doesn’t really have that. What she has instead are lots and lots and lots of plans.

In her big speech on the economy in Warren, Michigan, on Thursday, Clinton talked mostly about her policy ideas — at least 38 proposals in all, from changes to the tax code to providing debt-free college. It didn’t always make for a thrilling speech. But it showcased a contrast between the two candidates that Clinton is eager to encourage.

“A big difference between me and Donald Trump is I’m telling you what I will do; I’m laying out my plans,” Clinton said. “And I will stand by them and want you to hold me accountable for delivering results.”

The speech highlighted a characteristic of Clinton’s that has often been perceived as a weakness: She’s more of a policy wonk than a soaring speaker, more comfortable with describing technical regulatory changes than laying out a bold and inspiring worldview.

3. Trump made some nebulous claim that he would have

A plan in a few weeks.

He isn't going to have any plan, he has no intentions of creating a plan. His only plan is to keep calling Hillary names.

6. Me too

Trump takes over a year to come up with anything and it's just microwaved trickle down.

7. I'm listening to it on Youtube now and I'm...

... absolutely excited and inspired. Those concrete plans are so much more exciting and inspiring than mere rhetoric.
