Hillary Wins On Economic Issues Because... Why?
She has demonstrated that she is winning big among voters concerned about the economy.

Let's examine that for a minute.

Is it because of her great background in economics? No.
Is it because of her deep experience in financial institutions or with financial matters? No.
Is it because she ran a company successfully or even unsuccessfully? No.

Is it because she is married to Bill and people want a return of the economy of the 90's? Yes.

Will Hillary fans admit this? Maybe.

Does it disprove all the disingenuous claims that her candidacy stands upon its own merits? Most definitely.

4. So what is the strawman?
That bald CNN analyst shared that breakdown on the night of the NH caucus. It was one of the main ways the vote brokedown based on his analysis of the exit polling questions.

That is NOT made up. Can you address the post or only the poster?

9. The statement that it was praise
proves you either a liar or a fool.

It was quite clear.It was an egg-heady analysis of what happened in 1980, more like musings about the history of America than praise.

It is SO, SO, SO DISHONEST to portray it as something other than that.

Honestly, on my grandfather's grave, I call bullshit forever on this Reagan issue. You have no credibility if you maintain that as doggedly as you appear to.

It is so far beyond any distortion I have ever seen here that it beggars description. I would LOVE to hear an honest appraisal from someone on your side and in fact I got one from a very respected and respectable poster here last night by the name of rugg... Oh, I don't want to call him out, but suffice it to say that I learned last night that he is both very intelligent and very honest on the issue of the Reagan distortion. He admitted it was bullshit.

So, again. You either lie or are a fool.

6. Bill Clinton is just a tool Hillary has at her disposal.
Just an adviser, she's her own person...But still, he's an adviser who ran a mostly good economy. The reason I think she's strong on economy is not only having access to that 8 years of experience, but also that she possesses a knowledge of the world *as it is* not as it should be, and she has an idea of how to accomplish Democratic goals while balancing with business interests and the other dirty realities of our time.

7. Uh, you will have to wait for instructions from the Obama handlers.
Obama doesn't deal with minor things like the economy.
