To me, on its face, this is absolutely a disqualifying remark. If it is to be believed (that she believes what she said), then it indicates she has zero fundamental understanding how the world works. It hints of living in the bubble too long. Washington D.C. must be a real mindfuk.
Was there context to this that ameliorates how thoroughly incorrect (and potentially detrimental to the country with her as a governing executive) her assertion is? Because on it's face, that is about as looney and detached from reality as they come.
(As a related aside, I see this as a little different than Obama's "you didn't build that remark" as he could (successfully) claim that he was alluding to "community" or whatever as the driver of a successful business. While it was gibberish, from a certain perspective, it wasn't 100% incorrect (buisnesses do need customers). This, however, directly states that businesses nor corporations create jobs. I don't know how this can be mistaken or a context provided (however vague and spinnish) that adds something tangibly redeemable.)
