2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSome of us want a reason to trust her...
It's safe to say that a significant portion of the Dem electorate have trust issues with Hillary. From ever shifting positions, to distortions of her opponents records, to really nasty campaign tactics, she hasn't done herself any favors in these regards. It all culminates in the transcripts issue.
I haven't commented on it because I wanted to see what she would do. The more time that passes, the more I hear "You first!" (Not really a leadership position, right), when David Brock goes out and says the transcripts could open a floodgate of other questions, the more damage it does to her.
I acknowledge and accept that I may be forced to vote for her in Novemeber. What other choice will I have? A Republican? Not vote? That's stupid. I'd rather not have to hold my nose when I do it, but she needs to take a step forward on this.

(3,967 posts)they talk about intentions prior to the election, implicitly assuming things stay approximately as they are. For example, Obama had a lot of things to say about what should be done in the middle east. He has done a lot of them, but ISIS changes the equation in some ways, obviously.
I think you have to take the gauge of what a person's values are and figure they will use those values as circumstances arise.

(9,385 posts)In my opinion, that "industry" shouldn't even be legal. It is flat immoral. And so is she.
