30 years of experience, and 30 years of colorful suits.
Last night, during the third and final presidential debate, Donald Trump said, "The problem is, you talk, but you don’t get anything done, Hillary," which gave Clinton an opportunity to talk about her 30 years of experience.
"You know, back in the 1970s, I worked for the Children's Defense Fund. And I was taking on discrimination against African-American kids in schools. He was getting sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination in his apartment buildings. In the 1980s, I was working to reform the schools in Arkansas. He was borrowing $14 million from his father to start his businesses. In the 1990s, I went to Beijing and I said women's rights are human rights. He insulted a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, called her an eating machine," she said.
Trump interrupted with, "Give me a break."
But she continued. "And on the day when I was in the Situation Room, monitoring the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting the Celebrity Apprentice. So I'm happy to compare my 30 years of experience, what I've done for this country, trying to help in every way I could, especially kids and families get ahead and stay ahead, with your 30 years, and I'll let the American people make that decision."
In honor of Hillary’s 30 years of experience, we rounded up some of the best throwback photos shared by her campaign. Here are 10 awesome shots that capture the accomplished presidential candidate throughout the years.

Hillary Clinton is not easily rattled. She tweeted this photo out before the second presidential debate, as if to say, "Bring it, Donald."
2) "Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights."

Even though the caption focuses on the awesome 90s economy, this #TBT photo really got us thinking about how awesome 90s fashion was.
4) Her 1997 Grammy win.
In honor of Trump’s debate night mini-tantrum over not winning an Emmy, here’s a glorious photo of Hillary winning a Grammy for the audio version It Takes a Village.
5) Hillary loves Dolly as much as we all love Dolly.
#TBT to the time Hillary had a Dolly Parton-themed birthday party in 1995.

Hillary is the cool mom who impresses all the other kids at school when she comes in for career day.
7) Texts from Hillary.

The snarky Hillary text meme from her Secretary of State days has fallen out of use since the campaign started avoiding images of Hillary interacting with technology. But this is by far my favorite Hillary.
8) Hippie Hillary.
"She is still the best darn changemaker I have ever known.” —Bill Clinton

1970s throwback photos of Hillary are kind of like stumbling upon college photos of your dad shotgunning a beer and thinking, "Oh my god, my dad was chill once."
9) Hillary’s Tracy Flick look.

You know Hillary Clinton was always that intense straight-A overachiever student—which is exactly the kind of drive you want in a president.
10) And then there’s Hillary looking like a Heather.
'80s fashion wasn’t all bad. #tbt #blackandwhite
