“Hillary Clinton on
what Brexit taught her — and why the unease is just going to get
worse
Yesterday (June 27, 2016)
in Chicago, Clinton talked with LinkedIn about how she’s changing
her approach and her campaign — if at all — post-Brexit.
With one press manager by her side, she strolled into a
conference room in Chicago's McCormick Place that we had
converted into a pop-up studio. After some small talk, she began
piecing through the current economic situation. She talked
about the U.K. shockwave and the underlying currents that are
driving unrest: rapidly changing employment conditions; jobs
that require more out of employees — and yet are less dependable;
and an education system that has saddled young people in
career-limiting debt (we'll have more on that in a later post).
… I don't see it as having a direct
impact (on her campaign). I do agree, though, with the analysts who
are saying, "Look, the leave campaign just told all kinds of
false tales" and advertised on buses and in posters a lot of
what they said would happen. And then, as soon as the vote came in,
it was like, "Just kidding, you know, we don't really think
we'll get £350 million to put in the National Health Service. And
you know, we still are going to have immigrants coming from non-E.U.
countries” and on and on. So I really fault the [Remain] campaign
for not taking on all of those wrong, misleading claims.
Now we're not sitting around
letting Donald Trump say whatever he wants to say, we are responding
to what he does say, we are pointing out his intemperate and
unqualified presence for being our commander-in-chief. And so, I
think we are doing what needs to be done in a campaign, where you're
running against someone or some people who will say anything without
regard to the truth.
… We've got to have a
whole new mindset and we've got to create more of a safety net for
the American worker because it's scary out there. And I meet so many
people whose identity, their self-worth, their sense of belonging has
been stripped away because the job they used to do have and felt good
doing and made a good living from, it's changed to much, or maybe
it's no longer even there.
And they do feel left out
and left behind and they don't think anybody cares about them. They
don't think their government cares. They sure don't think that their
employers and big business care. I know it sounds maybe a little bit
off-topic talking about jobs and skills and training, but we've got
to create a feeling of people being cared for, to build their
confidence so that they can compete for the jobs of the future.
… It's interesting,
because if you look at the vote in England, Scotland voted to remain,
a lot of the places that are more connected with the modern economy
voted to remain, they're very comfortable in the milieu of a European
Union, which is part of a larger global commons.
A lot of people in small
towns, rural, even less successful cities said, "No, let's go
back to the way we think it was." And in effect, that's what
Trump is promising, "Make America Great Again," is really
code for, "Hey, I can turn the clock back. And I can make you
feel good. And I can get you the job that you used to have and even
at more money. And you know, we won't have to worry about these pesky
immigrants and Muslims and women and African-Americans and other
people, because we're going to make it great again on terms that will
favor you."
Well, it's a cruel
fantasy. We know that is. But we also have to have a positive agenda.
It's not enough to say, "That's nonsense, it can't be done."
We've got to say, "You know what? We are going to create more
good jobs."
