She spoke of her family life in Oklahoma, her dad a janitor, her brother was a veteran. She graduated from a commuter college that was $50 a class.
"I'm worried. Costs are out of sight. Young people are crushed by student loans. ... Retirees rely on just Social Security checks that can't cover the basics - that's not right.

"The system is rigged. It's true. So-called experts claim America is in trouble because both parties refuse to compromise. That's flat wrong. ... When large banks wanted loopholes, Washington got it done. Trying to do something for working people, then you have a fight on your hands."

She said Trump wants tax cuts for rich people like him and to roll back regulations on banks that caused the 2008 crash.

"When we turn on each other, they can ship our jobs overseas. They can cut their own taxes and we can't rebuild our streets and infrastructure. We can't fight back against a rigged system. I have news for Donald Trump - the American people aren't falling for it."
