Donald Trump Isn't The Only One Saying Crazy Things: A Hillary-ism Memory Jogger

The media is fixated on the ridiculous (and there have been many) things Donald Trump has said since announcing his candidacy for president.  Knowing that every word a presidential candidate has ever said is subject to scrutiny, I find it odd (not really) that none of the ridiculous things Mrs. Clinton has said over the years seem to engender the same kind of outrage that is directed at Trump. It is with that in mind that I offer up some of her greatest hits below.  Enjoy, if you can.

Oh, here's one more good one.  Just this past week, the presumptive Democratic nominee, who has all but vowed to strip the profit motive out of the drug industry, announced that she has a plan to cure Alzheimer's by 2025.  It's lucky for her that by then she probably won't remember making either promise.
