7. Made the same point on an earlier thread. A president who admits a mistake?
We sure haven't seen it the last eight years.

From what I can see, it's unlikely we would during an HRC presidency, either. If she can't admit a mistake about the Iraq war vote, there's not likely much of anything that will be a mistake to her.

I prefer Lincoln's stance. When Gen. McClellan stood him up, insulted him, and generally treated him like dirt, he said he would happily hold his horse for McClellan if the general would just win victories.

Hard to imagine HRC showing that kind of humility.
