Squinch

77. No. It wasn't dumb, and it wasn't like Obama's statement.

Obama made a true but not flattering statement as a presidential candidate. It might have cost him votes.

Hillary made a true but unflattering statement as a private citizen. There was nothing dumb about it and there is no reason why she should not make such statements. People really need to get over the idea that she owes kid glove treatment to trump voters. They also need to get over the idea that she owes silence on the truth to Democrats.

Thank you! NurseJackie Mar 2018 #1
