Clinton understands economics. No other democrat actually does.

Clinton understood economics, but he underestimated the evil of unregulated financial markets and banking. He reduced regulatory oversight of Comodities and exchange commission. Bush deepened that deregulation and the Great Recession of 2008-2009 was the result.

Trump wants to strip all regulation of financial markets and banks. Apparently, Republicans are willing to drive this country (and the world)over a cliff in pursuit of their absolutist ideology.

Even Adam Smith, who advocated regulating banks would roll over in his grave.
