Hillary Clinton is twisting Donald Trump's attack on her track record, saying she's proud to talk about what she's accomplished over the past three decades.
“Here are some things we’ve both done over the last 30 years: http://hrc.io/2dXeVKh,” she tweeted, embedding a tweet from the GOP nominee posted earlier in the day that read, “Crooked Hillary Clinton likes to talk about the things she will do but she has been there for 30 years - why didn't she do them?”

Trump has repeatedly used the “30 years” line, arguing that Clinton has spent so long in public service and achieved little results.
The Republican nominee again hammered her during last Sunday's debate during an exchange with moderator Anderson Cooper. "Hey, if she had a problem, for 30 years she’s been doing this, Anderson, I say it all the time, she talks about health care. Why didn't you do something about it? She talks about taxes. Why didn't she do something about it? She doesn't do anything about anything other than talk."
The URL in Clinton’s tweet on Wednesday links to a page on her website where users can shuffle through comparisons of major actions by both nominees in any given year.
Factchecks have also called out Trump for his claim that Clinton had the power to implement the policies she advocates. While Clinton may have been a public figure for 30 years, she has only held elected or appointed office for 13.
