1	The Official Hillary Clinton Claim Check Sheet
2	Hillary Clinton has a list of 112 "reasons" why she should be president. Let's take a closer look at those reasons, shall we!
3	Out of 112 reasons that she has listed, Hillary Rodham Clinton has			94	that are shown to be nonsense, redundant, and falsehoods.
4	Statement of fact: These are when she states "reasons" that no one has ever really disagreed with. For example, saying the government should work for every person in the US is not a reason FOR her.								44
5	What Trump Said: This is when Hillary takes a stance on something that Trump has also agreed with. It's not a reason to vote for you if your opposition will do the same thing!								39
6	Party Splitting: If you're just making an argument that you should be president because democrats are better than republicans, that's not an argument for you to be president more than you just trying to secure the democrat vote. Not being able to reach across the aisle has been a well-documented major issue in the last presidency, and these claims don't help.								10
7	Flip Flop or Lie: Hillary's said she's been very consistent with her views, but the only thing consistent with her views is that they just change to fit the current trend of the majority. This calls her out on whenever she's majorly flip flopped or is just flat out lying.								48
8	Number	Reason	Reality		Statement of fact?	What Trump Says?	Party Splitting?	Flip Flop or Lie?	Source

9	1	As a former secretary of state, U.S. senator, first lady, and a lifelong advocate for women and families, no one is more qualified to be president than Hillary.	This isn't an outright lie. However, first lady isn't necessarily a qualification, and someone who might be put on trial for her email scandals suggests that although she has the years in office, she didn't handle her jobs well.						Email Controversy
10	2	Hillary knows child care, equal pay, and paid leave are fundamental economic issues—not just “women’s issues.”	I'm 99% sure that no candidate remaining in the running has ever simply dismissed child care, equal pay, and paid leave as a woman's issue. They all know it's very economic in nature.		X
11	3	We can't afford a republican in the White House.	Why not? We've had many before. Some republicans worked, and some didn't. You could say the same with Democrats.				X
12	4	Our democracy should work for everyone—not just the wealthy and well-connected.	Again, no one is saying otherwise. Trump and Sanders both want to tax the rich more. Everyone left is campaigning for everyone in America. You're not presenting a ground-breaking idea about democracy here.		X
13	5	Our next president could make multiple appointments to the Supreme Court.	This is essentially direct statement of fact and implied party splitting. SoF because this is an obvious potential thing that could happen regardless of who becomes president, but PS because you're implying that you would want supreme court justices who are more liberal and thus democratic in their thinking.		X		X
14	6	We need comprehensive background checks on gun purchases.	There are nationally required background checks already. You know this right? Are you saying that we need to make sure the background checks are done right? If so, you agree with Trump. Look on his website and scroll down to "Background Checks."		X	X			Trump's Stance on the 2nd Amendment
15	7	She’ll fight to overturn Citizens United to curb the outsized influence of big money in politics.	Oh boy. Firstly, Trump has agreed with you. That's kind of why he's run without Super PACs and preached campaign reform from the get-go! Secondly, you're the one making secret speeches to Goldman-Sachs and 3.2 million from them. I'd call that "outsized influence of big money," wouldn't you?			X		X	Hillary getting a pay day from Wall Street
16	8	Because the wealthiest should pay their fair share in taxes.	Again, no one disagrees with you. The real question is, what does "fair share" mean? Are you saying they should be taxed a higher percentage? If so, Trump agrees with you!		X	X			Trump says you can get the rich to pay more.
17	9	We need comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to full and equal citizenship.	All right! Finally something that you stand out on that's an actual policy stance that's been consistent.
18	10	She’s set a big goal: More than half a billion solar panels installed across the country by the end of her first term.	All right! Another policy that you've been consistent about.
19	11	She’s set another big goal: To generate enough renewable energy to power every home in America within 10 years of her taking office.	I wouldn't necessarily label this as a separate reason from #10, but sure. So far it looks like you'll need the help to get your count up, so why not.
20	12	The economy is stronger when a Democrat is in the White House.	Ah, this is a smart claim. Because people probably still have the financial crisis under Bush in 07 fresh in their minds. Here's the thing- your claim isn't necessarily supported by research. Democrats aren't inherently better at economics simply because they choose that party.				X		There isn't evidence to show Democratic Economic policy is inherently better.
21	13	Hillary will defend Planned Parenthood and women’s health care from Republican attacks.	See, this is funny because you try to paint Trump to be this bad guy about women's health care. But he's been very vocal that the abortion issue is the only thing that bothers him about planned parenthood. He's even lauded their work to further women's health care.			X			Trump does support Planned Parenthood.
22	14	Hillary’s New College Compact would mean students would never have to borrow to pay for tuition to attend a four-year public college in their state—and the millions of Americans who have student debt can refinance.	Are you against the government profitting from student loans? So is Trump! Looking at your actual plan makes it sound like nothing changes. You ask students to work 10 hours a week, you ask families to contribute a reasonable amount. Other than changing a few loan payment policies, you're not really adjusting the current system.			X			Trump wants to stop student exploitation too.
23	15	Because taxpayers shouldn’t pay for millionaires’ and billionaires’ kids to go to college.	Again, no one disagrees! Trump agrees the rich should pay more as well! We've discussed this.		X	X
24	16	Guaranteed paid family leave.	Cool.
25	17	She declared on the world stage that “gay rights are human rights.”	Hillary, you brought this up. You supported DOMA. Even in 2004, you were clear it was just a bond between a man and woman. Even the liberal Politifact calls you a full flop on that. What's interesting is that Trump actually agrees that gay rights are human rights. He's been quite accepting, even of the supreme court decisions passed.			X		X	Hillary can say what she wants, but she hasn't really fought for gay rights.
26	18	Experts say Hillary’s plan to keep Wall Street accountable is the toughest of all Democratic candidates.	Experts also say that you lie a lot. Should we listen to them too? This is a lie of deception, you're misleading the public to think every expert agrees with you, when in fact, you're getting some mixed reviews, as any plan for anything does.					X	Here are the mixed reviews from experts.
27	19	As first lady, she helped get health care coverage for 8 million American children.	Ah yes, "Hillarycare." This is another lie of deception. You fail to mention your plan was called "political naivete" and was laughed out of senate. It was so bad that you had Bill take credit for it in Sept 07 while you were running your first time. Now you want claim again?					X	Read about Hillarycare here.
28	20	Our veterans should have access to timely and high quality health care.	Great. Trump thinks so too. He's been very vocal about that actually. You on the other hand said the care wasn't an issue until you were hit so hard that you needed to backtrack.			X		X	Do you actually care about the veterans, Hillary?
29	21	She’s the only Democrat with hedge-fund billionaires running ads against her—because they know her agenda is to stop their agenda.	Seriously? You're telling me that hedge funds don't care about Bernie "let's burn down Wall St" Sanders? Come on. There have been ads against him.					X	Seriously?
30	22	After decades of fighting for progressive issues (and 11 straight hours of testimony in front of a Republican-led congressional committee), she’s proved nobody can stand up to Republicans better than she can.	Hey, this isn't party splitting. A leader should be able to stand up against their opposition, so saying that is fine in my opinion. However, Donald Trump put on the greatest show of standing up to the GOP, the party that literally tweeted out #NeverTrump but he still won over.			X			#NeverTrump. Really?
31	23	Hillary believes that raising middle-class incomes is the defining economic challenge of our time—and she has a plan to do just that.	Trump agrees with you, but you're lying. Your plan has been shown to decrease the income rate of every class, including the middle class. Trump's the one giving people more of their money.			X		X	You're taking money away.
32	24	Suspected terrorists, domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and the severely mentally ill shouldn’t be able to purchase a gun.	See, but Trump agrees with you. He even thinks that people who commit a crime with a gun should be thrown in jail rather than get a slap on the wrist. So there you go. This is also already true in the majority of states.		X	X			Have you even looked at his stances on this?
33	25	Because every 4-year-old in America should be able to go to a high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.	Yes, and everyone in America should be able to live till they're 100 in perfect health and die peacefully. What even is a high quality pre-school? Everyone agrees that schools in America should be the best. This statement does nothing to further that conversation.		X
34	26	We need to invest in infrastructure and rebuild or expand our roads, bridges, rail, broadband, public transit, and water and energy infrastructure.	Trump agrees too. He actually stated in debates and in his book that if we just took our foreign policy regime money and used it on our infrastructure, we'd be doing great. Besides, everyone agrees that things need to be fixed. This isn't a brilliant idea.		X	X			Your ideas aren't revolutionary, Hillary.
35	27	We need to protect Americans’ right to vote—not billionaires’ and corporations’ right to buy elections.	See #7. You say this, but you act differently. Trump advocates this too.			X		X	Hillary getting a pay day from Wall Street
36	28	Have you seen the Republican debates?	Have you seen your own? Stop putting yourself on a pedestal.				X
37	29	Hillary will work to keep families together and defend President Obama’s executive actions that protect DREAMers.	You will do this.
38	30	She has spent her life fighting for a fairer America.	If you're going to make an exaggerated claim, I'm going to call you out on it. A fairer America does not constitute letting rapists walk free on technicalities. You haven't spent your whole life fighting for that.					X	Here's what I'm referring to.
39	31	She’s been fighting for women and children her entire career—ever since she started working at the Children’s Defense Fund after law school.	Same statement I made for #30. No, you really haven't.					X	Here's what I'm referring to.
40	32	She believes we need a new and comprehensive commitment to equity and opportunity for communities of color.	Yes, and Trump also agrees that Obama didn't do enough. Everyone actually agrees that people of color need to be treated fairly.		X	X			You're not blaming Obama directly, but you kind of are.
41	33	She’ll empower veterans and strengthen our economy and communities by connecting their unique skills to the jobs of the future.	Trump wants to do that too. He's stated that very clearly, before and after your veteran gaffes.			X			Here's his stances.
42	34	Prescription drugs still cost too much. Hillary has a plan to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.	So does every candidate. That is kind of incorporated in a health care plan.		X	X			Trump's plan.
43	35	As senator, she championed the Paycheck Fairness Act and co-sponsored the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help close the wage gap so women earn equal pay.	Actually, looking up both acts show Barbara Mikulski was the one who originally sponsored both. You were only a co-sponsor on Fair Pay Act. Sanders was a co-sponsor of both. So technically, you're not lying, but I just want to make it clear that there's some heavy lawyer-speak and exclusion of facts going on.
44	36	Community college should be tuition-free for every American.	I'm going to mark this as a statement of fact, but I'm using that mark loosely because I don't have a category for "statement of claim with nothing else said to back it up so people really can't disagree."		X
45	37	It's time to close the Charleston loophole that lets otherwise prohibited individuals buy a gun if their background check is not complete in three days.	Why do you keep bringing up guns? You keep saying the same things and Trump has already discussed this just as clearly.			X			Have you even looked at his stances on this?
46	38	She's the only candidate with a clear and comprehensive plan to beat ISIS and radical Jihadism and keep America safe.	Actually, this is a lie. Plus every candidate has a plan to beat ISIS, that's just well-explained as yours (answer: not really all that much, but what more can you expect at this stage of the game, it's still the primaries.) Plus everyone including Trump wants to keep America safe and knows ISIS is a threat. So this is really 3/4 categories checked. Impressive.		X	X		X	Here's his foreign policy speech.
47	39	Hillary negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that ended the rain of rockets on Israel.	This is a lie by omission. Your negotiations actually ended up as part of the cause of strained relations in the communities, leading to the current problems we see.					X	Here's the source.
48	40	Smart power is a smart strategy.	For those who don't know (I didn't), Smart Power is a diplomatic strategy. This is a statement of fact. There are also other strategies that are also smart. This statement is the equivalent of saying: "Chocolate is a good ice cream flavor."		X				What Smart Power Is
49	41	We need a president who will crack down on companies that send profits overseas to avoid paying their fair share.	Trump agrees. Everyone agrees.		X	X			Trump's Tax Plan has this in it.
50	42	She’ll defend Social Security and Medicare against Republican attacks.	In 2008, you were the one rejecting the increase in social security taxes. Now you change your tune. Plus, you're party splitting again. You were a democrat in 2008 and you attacked the Social Security boost just as a republican would.				X	X	Here's the proof.
51	43	We need a president with a plan to protect the transgender community from violence.	The law kind of says that no one should be subjected to violence. Trump agrees transgenders can do what they've been doing. Plus, you were against all the LGBT stuff as discussed before.		X	X		X	Trump is fine with the LGBT community.
52	44	If Congress continues its refusal to act on comprehensive immigration reform, Hillary has a plan to act—and do everything possible under the law to protect families.	This is official nonsense. If Congress doesn't do anything with my new plan, then I'll just make sure I follow the current law. So even if I can't do more, it's not like I'll do less. Following the current law is what every candidate has to do.		X
53	45	She knows how to find common ground to get the job done—but also how to stand her ground.	Trump's a negotiator. Even the former president of Mexico has apologized to him. He'd do it better than you most likely.			X			Just look at this.
54	46	Hillary is prepared to tackle all challenges, including national security—because presidents don’t get to choose which issues come to their desks.	At this point you're just saying you'll do your job. If that's all it takes to get a job, then there would be no unemployment. Trump says himself that for any challenge, he'll get the best people on it, so he'll also be just as prepared.		X	X
55	47	She has a plan to reform mandatory minimum sentencing.	Finally, a breath of fresh air. An actual policy stance that's yours.
56	48	We need a small-business president.	Why? Even if so, Trump's plan supports small business, as shown by his tax plan. Seriously, do you read his plans? Also, with your promotions of the free trade acts and TPP, it's not likely you really think this.		X	X		X	Here's you supporting the TPP
57	49	Because every American citizen should be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they opt out. Hillary will get it done.	This doesn't seem like a serious presidential issue to me personally, but hey, if you think that having this stance makes you more deserving of the presidency, then wave it around if you'd like.
58	50	We need to protect and build upon the Affordable Care Act- Not put more American's Health Coverage in the hands of Republican governors.	Oh boy. Firstly, you're party splitting. Both sides have supported and opposed ACA. Secondly, you've opposed many parts of Obamacare yourself. Now you just want to "build" on it? Thirdly, if "builds upon it" means changing and removing and altering the plan in a 90 degree turn, then Trump has his own healthcare plan that also "builds upon ACA."			X	X	X	Hillary against Obamacare
59	51	She’s a progressive—and she’s a progressive who gets things done.	No, you're a moderate.					X	Hillary plead guilty to it.
60	52	Immigration enforcement must be humane and targeted—and she’ll end family detention and close private detention centers.	Immigration enforcement has rules to be humane and targeted already. No one's proposing that we make it inhumane, just that we enforce all the rules of immigration.		X
61	53	Hillary has a plan to reduce the risk of future financial crises.	So does everyone.		X	X
62	54	Because we should hold corporations and individuals on Wall Street accountable—and prosecute them when they break the law.	Everyone says that if they break the law, they should be prosecuted. You said they didn't break the law. Trump actually says they do.		X	X		X	It's not Wall St, it's the home owners.
63	55	She's one tough mother.	That's nice. Is there a category for dumb reasons? I should've made one. But I'll settle for statement of fact.		X
64	56	She fought for health care for 9/11 first responders as a U.S. senator—and she’s been a vocal advocate for a permanent renewal of the Zadroga Act.	Despite everything I disagree with you about, you did indeed fight for 9/11 responders, and that's definitely respectful. Trump does agree with you about caring for the 9/11 first responders; he helped quite a lot as well.			X
65	57	It’s time to end for-profit private prisons in America.	Cool. So why are you taking their money?					X	Come on now.
66	58	The Affordable Care Act is working—but you could still use a lower co-pay and deductible.	See, I'm going to mark this as a lie, because the way you reduce the co-pay and deductible is by taxing people. So you're still taking their money, just from a different source.					X	It's a sneaky claim.
67	59	Hillary will defend and fight to restore collective bargaining rights for workers.	Cool. You've had a good track record with this.
68	60	She knows historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) serve an important public mission and will make a significant commitment to them.	Which is what? Funding for private universities that are HBCUs? Doesn't that go against the spirit of your New College Compact that you described earlier?					X	You have this on your site yourself.
69	61	We need to end the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine.	Cool.
70	62	Hillary will never stop speaking out about the need to prevent gun violence.	Neither does any candidate. They just do it differently.		X
71	63	Because it’s time to end conversion "therapy" for LGBT minors.	Actually, Conversion Therapy has already been deemed unethical and inhumane by the scientific community and the Human Rights Commission. As such, anyone subjected to conversion therapy can be legally protected. You bringing your thoughts into that in that means nothing at all. Just another nice way to sound good to a community that you inherently rejected multiple times.		X				On Conversion Therapy
72	64	Hillary will put a stop to Republicans’ systematic efforts to stop millions of people from voting.	If Republicans are stopping people from voting, then sue them, because it's illegal to prevent someone from exercising their constitutional right to vote. If they're not, then quit acting like they are. Your argument could just as easily be flipped around to you, with people saying you're trying to get millions of people who shouldn't be allowed to vote to be able to. The laws you're speaking of are already losing in courts. This has nothing to do with parties.				X		They're being taken care of. Not by you.
73	65	We need a president who will fight to restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act after they were gutted by the Supreme Court.	You're saying that you'll go against the ruling of the highest court of the land, or you'll try interfering in state-level government, both of which are against constitutional checks and balances. If you want to ensure voting protections for every American, then don't violate other terms of the law of the land to do it. You simply can't.					X
74	66	Hillary helped negotiate the toughest sanctions Iran has ever faced.	Ah yes, the Iran deal. You did do that. But didn't they violate U.N. rules within months? So, it's not really tough if they can still do what they please.					X	Here's the violation in question.
75	67	She’s earned the wrath of the gun lobby, Iran, pharmaceutical companies, and special interests—and that should tell you something about who she’s fighting for.	You've also earned the wrath of Republicans and Democratic Bernie supporters which currently make up an estimated 75% of the US. Your friends in the gun lobby and special interest groups also ran negative ads against you. You took money from special interests yourself. That should tell us about who you're fighting for.					X	Gun lobbyists too?
76	68	She has a plan to invest in American manufacturing and revitalize communities that have lost manufacturing jobs.	Actually, your plan involves you signing more trade agreements with the rest of the world, such as the TTP, which actually send jobs OUT of the US. Bold faced lie. Trump is ready to fight the jobs to stay here.			X		X	You're just bouncing all over.
77	69	She knows what's going on in Laos.	This is a load of nonsense. I can go on Google and give just as much detail as you did in your response about Laos. Your intelligence on the topic is irrelevant in the current day and age as you're a maximum of less than a minute ahead.		X
78	70	She believes we should let families buy into the Affordable Care Act health care exchanges regardless of immigration status.	We've talked about this. You want people to buy into the act that you didn't even like, and now you do. Kind of. But hey, you're not lying. It's just weird that you would want that.
79	71	Prison is not a substitute for treatment for drug addiction and mental health issues—Hillary knows that and will do something about it.	So does Trump. He talks about it in his page on the 2nd Amendment, which I'm fairly certain you ignored at this point.			X
80	72	We can create a new national standard of no fewer than 20 days of early in-person voting in every state.	Again, why do you get to dictate every state's voting rules? It's a state decision. You're not the supreme court, and you're not a state governor. You don't get to make that call.					X
81	73	Because those at the top are doing just fine. It’s your family who needs a fighter in the White House.	Not if I'm at the top. Then you're not going to work for me. Right? And every candidate says they're a fighter. Trump says so too. His tax plan actually saves money on every level, yours takes money away on every level.		X	X		X
82	74	It's time we had a grandmother-in-chief.	I'm not voting you just because you're a grandmother. I want to vote for who is best for America, not who was successfully able to get their kid to deliver a baby first.		X
83	75	Hillary has a plan to combat America’s deadly epidemic of drug and alcohol addiction.	Trump does too. It's nice that you have these plans but just having a plan doesn't make it the best.		X	X
84	76	In the words of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: “I’ve never met anyone more prepared to be president.”	That's nice Madeline Albright. Excuse me if I don't take one person's endorsement into account.		X				Albright couldn't even take away N Korea's nukes.
85	77	She has a plan to make our financial system fairer and more accountable.	Again with the plans! Trump has these plans! Everyone has plans! Having plans does not immediately make you the best choice!		X	X
86	78	High-quality K–12 education needs to be a priority for every child in America.	Yes, and no one is saying otherwise.		X
87	79	As secretary of state, Hillary lobbied for the first-ever U.N. Human Rights Council resolution on LGBT human rights.	Why do you keep bringing up gay marriage when you were pro-DOMA? Seriously?					X
88	80	She made LGBT rights a priority of U.S. foreign policy.	I'm pretty sure AMERICANS care about the domestic side of LGBT rights. Even if you were really pro-LGBT, #79 is the same as this one! You're running out of reasons, aren't you?					X
89	81	In the words of the Advocate, Hillary has an “awesome LGBT agenda” to protect and expand LGBT rights.	Ah yes, just like she did with DOMA. This is a load of crap.					X
90	82	She’s not afraid to stand up to discriminatory attempts to roll back voting rights in places like Alabama.	Well that's good that you're not afraid.
91	83	Hillary knows Muslim Americans are helping our communities succeed and are our first, last, and best line of defense against radical jihadism.	This is false. And weird. How are Muslim Americans our "first, last, and best line of defense?" That's our veterans. And yes, every community helps every community succeed. No one is saying otherwise. I know you'd like to think Trump is saying otherwise, but he's not.		X			X
92	84	Unlike the Republicans, Hillary will defend marriage equality nationwide.	That's a lie. You haven't. You're also party splitting.				X	X
93	85	She will provide funding to make sure body cameras are available to every police department in America to increase accountability on both sides of the lens.	Cool.
94	86	Keith in New Hampshire	Forgive me Keith. You've had a tough life, I understand. But that does not qualify you to be a reason for a presidential candidate.		X
95	87	She’ll expand on-campus child care and scholarships to help student parents balance going to school with raising a child.	Cool.
96	88	The NRA has never helped Hillary get elected.	Not cool. This is extremely false. You've had NRA lobbyists help you.					X	The NRA Lobbyist
97	89	Her first major address as a presidential candidate was a call to end the “era of mass incarceration.”	Actually in 2007 you were just bashing Bush. Oh did you mean your campaign this year? You talked about income inequality mainly in your kick-off rally.					X	Back in 2007
98	90	She’ll fight to end racial profiling in America.	Yes, no more calling black kids super-predators. Oh wait, that was you. No one is for racial profiling, so calm down Hillary.		X			X	Source.
99	91	She’ll hold irresponsible gun dealers and manufacturers fully accountable if they endanger Americans—and that includes repealing the gun industry’s unique immunity protection.	This is hypocritical, considering you dealt weapons to the Middle East. Oh, but only for your donors.					X	Weapons deals.
100	92	She worked to expand the Family Medical Leave Act, allowing families of those wounded in service to their country to take leave in order to care for their loved ones.	But although you like medical reform in general, you brushed off the VA issues as not as important as others. So sure, they can go home, but would they be cared for?					X
