Now HILLARY'S up past 3 am tweeting!

The Hill ‏@thehill 11m11 minutes ago
Hillary Clinton mocks Trump with her own 3 a.m. tweetstorm: http://hill.cm/luel2qr

Hillary Clinton took a page out of Donald Trump’s book early Saturday, posting a series of tweets in the middle of the night.

The difference: Clinton’s tweetstorm focused on national service and avoided any talk of a sex tape.

“It's 3:20am. As good a time as any to tweet about national service,” Clinton’s first tweet said, with a link to a Medium post describing her plans for a new National Service Reserve program designed to encourage volunteering among young Americans.

Her follow-up tweets, all posted between 3:20 and 3:30, called for tripling AmeriCorps memberships and forgiving student loans for those who go into national service.

There are hundreds of thousands more @AmeriCorps applications than spots. Horrible! Let's expand it from 75,000 annual members to 250,000.

Too many talented young people pass up on programs like @Peacecorps because of student loans. Let's use GOOD JUDGMENT & lighten that burden.

Remember, don't believe the haters who describe America as hopeless and broken. We should lift each other up, not tear each other down.

For those few people knocking public service, hope you'll reconsider answering the call to help others. Because we're stronger together.

...and a sociopathic narcissist who is preoccupied solely with himself and his own feelings.

I cannot wait until the inhuman garbage Trump is flushed out of the presidential race and into prison where it belongs.

ahead of time and schedule when they post. Hence the exact timing of 3:20 a.m.

saved my son's life, and set him on a path to amazing success.
plus gave him a nice little nest egg for college.
kid is now halfway to a phd, instead of sitting on my couch.

13. Forgiving student debt is awesome. I watched her rally yesterday and heard this for the 1st time.

I went to my state university for $100 a semester. I can't imagine what these poor people now working are dealing with to have that horrible debt on their backs. If she can implement this, unblocked by a repuke congress, it will go a long way towards taking a mountain load of stress out of the environment, that and the waves stress always makes.
