On the Road with Hillary Clinton: Meeting with Carpenters in Las Vegas

If there is one thing Hillary Clinton has shown that she excels at, it is building a complex, integrated platform.  As the planks in this campaign's platform continue to join together into one smooth surface, appropriately, Hillary spent part of her day at the Carpenters International Training Center in Las Vegas.   She spoke with with Doug McCarron, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and Bill Irwin Jr., Executive Director of the Carpenters International Training Center.   The women carpenters looked especially pleased to meet her.    Nice to see sisters entering the brotherhood!
