Great timing on the part of the media i.e. the Clinton campaign.

Should have been a BAD weekend for Hillary heading into the debate with the first Wikileaks release dropping. Instead it gets BURIED under this Trump story that gets released afterward.

HILLARY CLINTON THINKS WALL-STREET SHOULD HELP HER AND THE GOVERNMENT FORMULATE FUTURE SPIN OF FINANCIAL DISASTERS TO ABSOLVE THEM OF BLAME

And I think that there's a lot that could have been avoided in terms of both misunderstanding and really politicizing what happened with greater transparency, with greater openness on all sides, you know, what happened, how did it happen, how do we prevent it from happening? You guys help us figure it out and let's make sure that we do it right this time. And I think that everybody was desperately trying to fend off the worst effects institutionally, governmentally, and there just wasn't that opportunity to try to sort this out, and that came later.” [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]

And I really believe that our country and all of you are up to that job.” [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14]

HILLARY CLINTON SAYS POLITICAL REALITIES PREVENT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, ADMITS DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO SLOWLY BUILD IT AROUND THE EMPLOYER PROVIDED SYSTEM, SAYS THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, HOPES FOR AMERICA TO ONE DAY BE LIKE CANADA

We are still struggling. We've made a lot of progress. Ten million Americans now have insurance who didn't have it before the Affordable Care Act, and that is a great step forward. And what we're going to have to continue to do is monitor what the costs are and watch closely to see whether employers drop more people from insurance so that they go into what we call the health exchange system. So we're really just at the beginning . . . we're in a learning period as we move forward with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. And I'm hoping that whatever the shortfalls or the glitches have been . . . we can . . . keep moving forward to get to affordable universal healthcare coverage like you have here in Canada.
