Trump mocks people with disabilities. Hillary Clinton wants to expand their job opportunities

Hillary Clinton has a lot of policies aimed at helping people and broadening the inclusiveness of the American economy and public life—so many that she could pretty much talk about something different every day and have something meaningful to say. Up today, in a 2 PM ET speech Daily Kos will be covering:

During an address in Orlando, Fla., Mrs. Clinton will discuss building an “inclusive economy,” her campaign said, with an emphasis on job opportunities for people with disabilities. In keeping with a recent campaign theme, Mrs. Clinton is expected to weave a portion of her biography into the remarks, using them to describe how her life has informed her policy goals. [...]

Her campaign said her focus would remain, in large measure, on her policy agenda for people with disabilities. This includes a pledge to bolster job opportunities and eliminate the “subminimum wage” paid to some people with disabilities.

But it sure is a strong contrast.
