Needham: Clinton Support for Ex/Im Bank Proves She Wants To Help Those at the Top

‘— the American people are extremely cynical about Washington, D.C. and the kind of cesspool of corruption and favoritism that it’s become’

NEEDHAM: "I think that one of the things that will come into play are the American people are extremely cynical about Washington, D.C. and the kind of cesspool of corruption and favoritism that it's become, you actually see it in Hillary's launch video, where she says in the very first sentence she speaks, the deck is stacked against those in favor of those at the top. The problem is there's been nobody who has done more to trade on their public service to benefit themselves and their friends than the Clintons. And so, I think the question over the course of the campaign is: can the Republican Party prosecute that case? It will be uncomfortable for the Republican Party.

There's plenty of favoritism and cronyism that goes on amongst politicians on the Republican side, which is why things like the Export/Import Bank become incredibly important this cycle. If the Republican Party with the House and the Senate can shut down a bank that has 31 corruption cases against it, that uses the dollars of hard-working middle Americans to subsidize the wealth connected at Boeing, that shows the difference between the favoritism and cronyism of the Clintons and the Republican Party that fights for opportunity for everybody, but favoritism for nobody."
