HRC on GMA "I have absolutely no interest in running for president again. None. None,"

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it especially clear on Wednesday morning that she was not planning another bid for the presidency.

"I have absolutely no interest in running for president again. None. None," the secretary told ABC's Good Morning America. "I mean, I know that's hard for some people to believe, but, you know, I just -- I just don't."


She said this back in 2009. Yes, it was hard to believe. I guess she evolved.

GMA isn't credible, and they never liked her, and they doctored the tape, and...and...and.

I can just hear it now.

But it all points to a big problem for her as far as trustworthiness. If she makes it to the GE this kind of thing is going to get thrown in her face again and again.

I think she is tragically unaware that we have videos, soundbites and quotes of her saying/doing the exact opposite of what she is saying/doing now. Her inauthenticity is what unnerves me; she says whatever she needs to as a means to an end.

I don’t fucking trust her one bit on TPP and I think that given the choice she’d take us to war again...just to show she can be as tough as any man - something I’ve actually read people here at DU as their excuse for giving her a pass on her vote to go to war with Iraq.

Do you see her proposing universal health care? Do you see her fixing social security funding, over the protests of her own party? Do you see her passing something as critically important as the Clean Water and Clear Air acts, then signing into law the EPA?

Not once in her campaign have I heard her take a brave, unique, and tough position. To the contrary, if anything, she sends out polling crews, focus groups, and eventually releases a half-hearted position long after the attention wanes.

A leader? From behind, perhaps.

Referring to her Bosnia sniper fire fabrication:
"So I made a mistake. That happens. It proves I'm human, which, you know, for some people, is a revelation."

No, Hillary... it proves you're a liar, which is not a surprise for many people.
