He continued, saying, "But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.""Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit," the former president said on Friday. "Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November."
