don't get too excited there John. Based on the information in your link this story is going nowhere. Because these little snippets of her speech have nothing controversial in them. We will, unfortunately, be listening to chatter about Trumps “Grab them by the p----" comment for many days.

This demonstrates the dangers of waiting too long to release damaging information. Obviously, in light of the Trump situation, it's going to get overwhelmed.

But don't you ever get tired of Hillary's schemes / lies.

I am fine with her being pro banks and trade, but her denying it is wrong.

Laurie said...

I am unaware of any schemes/lies from Hillary. Do you have any examples? It does seem to be the wrong year to campaign as a strongly free trade candidate. I think she is wise to emphasize that she is pro fair trade and supports trade agreements that will benefit American workers.

I don't think Hillary lies more than other politician. Certainly I feel nothing like the exhaustion apparent with Trump's remaining supporters who appear on the media.

SNL has noted the exhaustion of Trump supporters as well.

Here's a link on the emails that I found very interesting. It seems to be written as a news rather than opinion piece but clearly includes a lot of opinion different than my own on the latest emails released. It ended up reminding me that Hillary is basically a moderate, center left politician who has been campaigning as more liberal than she actually is (which all politicians make adjustments in order to win elections)

Leaked campaign emails show 'moderate' side of Clinton

It occurred to me while out hiking today that what people got for paying Hillary $200,000 for a speech is a more candid person. I always think it would be so interesting to have conversations with leaders in which they were open and honest about their views rather than being so careful and strategic in what they say. Being careful and strategic is what nearly all politicians do, slightly modify their views or emphasis to fit their audience and goal. This is not lying.

What ever helps you sleep at night. :-)

I am just happy if she has been lying to all those Bernie supporters for the last year...
