Hillary Clinton mocks Trump with her own 3 a.m. tweetstorm: http://hill.cm/luel2qr

Hillary Clinton took a page out of Donald Trump’s book early Saturday, posting a series of tweets in the middle of the night.

The difference: Clinton’s tweetstorm focused on national service and avoided any talk of a sex tape.

“It's 3:20am. As good a time as any to tweet about national service,” Clinton’s first tweet said, with a link to a Medium post describing her plans for a new National Service Reserve program designed to encourage volunteering among young Americans.

Her follow-up tweets, all posted between 3:20 and 3:30, called for tripling AmeriCorps memberships and forgiving student loans for those who go into national service.

There are hundreds of thousands more @AmeriCorps applications than spots. Horrible! Let's expand it from 75,000 annual members to 250,000.

Too many talented young people pass up on programs like @Peacecorps because of student loans. Let's use GOOD JUDGMENT & lighten that burden.

Remember, don't believe the haters who describe America as hopeless and broken. We should lift each other up, not tear each other down.

For those few people knocking public service, hope you'll reconsider answering the call to help others. Because we're stronger together.
