That is a bunch of rambling you did there. We have already established that she was wrong about how low unemployment is calculated. You say her words, not yours, yet nothing you wrote were her words in any sense. That is just odd. A key statement, actually her words , was “Because we look at these figures and we say, ‘Oh, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right?’ " Her point was that the low numbers make people think everything is fine. She actually said those words. Your implication is that she thinks high unemployment is better. She never said or implied that. She believes, as Dorito Don did until the day after the election, that the unemployment rate can misconstrue people's experiences in the job market.
