Clinton Likens Trump to Dictators for His ‘I Alone Can Fix It’ Line

 

hillaryAt her first joint rally with Tim Kaine today, Hillary Clinton likened Donald Trump to despots and “dictators” for his declaration at the GOP convention that “I alone can fix this.”

“When someone says I alone can fix it,” Clinton said, with Tim Kaine beside her, “that should set off alarm bells… That is not a democracy!”

She declared that America fought a revolution specifically because “we didn’t want one man making all the decisions for us.”

Trump did not say anything in his speech about working with Congress, while Clinton said, “It is just nonsense! No one does anything alone!”

“We work together,” she said. “That is what has traditionally set us apart from places that have turned to single leaders––despots, dictators, authoritarians––who have promised people, ‘I can fix it alone.'”
