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.

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.

Obama declared a FEMA emergency for Flint, so resources are being sent, and Clinton's aide is in the way.

She probably sent the "aide" just so she could say she sent the aide. As if she were the go-to person for Flint, MI.

after hearing her speak to take action when no one else has been able to get him to do a damn thing for nearly 2 years. 2 years. not likely.
but, if it gives hillary a chance to preen her feathers, sigh, she will do so.
