That is an argument I have with my spouse all the time - who pulls into designated places all too frequently, with the "but the sign isn't the proper height" excuse.
Massive fail. Any serious progressive honors the intent to provide reserved spaces for individuals with disabilities - not the "get out of jail free" argument that the curb wasn't painted or the sign wasn't high enough.
(As to the substance of this argument - Clinton didn't park there, her handlers did. The van appears to be barely over the line into the designated parking place, and it was moved to that position briefly to pick her up. Bad optics - which her handlers obviously need to be more attentive to - but a tempest in a teapot.)
