*Previewing Tonight’s GOP Debate:*

*Hillary Clinton Fights for Us, Republicans Fight for Them*

Republican candidates have made clear time and time again that they aren’t
fighting for *us*—for middle class families, for hardworking Americans, for
women, for small business owners. Instead, they are fighting for *them*—
the people already at the top, the big banks, the billionaire donors and
corporations, for the top one percent of America.

Tonight’s Republican debate will display dramatic contrast between the
fights Hillary Clinton will take on for America’s children and families and
the fights the Republican candidates will take on for those at the top.

Ahead of the debate, Hillary for America is releasing a video comparing
Hillary’s focus on the toughest fights on behalf of children and families
with Republicans’ silence or opposition to common sense solutions .  Watch
the video here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6mdMAwQxgY>.
