6. This is great! It's the full hour, Hillary Clinton show! nt

7. Why has Rachel chopped up the interview into little snippets?

It looks very disjointed and makes it hard to follow the Q&A. I wanted to listen to Clinton, and while I generally appreciate Rachel's commentary, maybe she should have just ran the interview and then opined at length after it ended.

8. Agree and as usual Rachel

did her silly self-depreciation act.

Hillary got an A+++. Rachel a B.

9. That was interesting but where are the questions about progressive issues - banks, war

But the explanation of political expediency / realism for Don't ask dont tell was telling.
And the prison issue.
So I guess we can extrapolate.
Hillary did good.

On edit: I was not slamming her here. It actually made me hopeful to see her thoughts on DADT and prisons etc. there are positions you might hold but can't bring them forward yet, it's practical and sensible to get what you can and fend off the bad with the less bad.

10. Why don't you ask Rachel Maddow since it was her interview???? nt

[lostnfound]

15. That's my point, I was surprised Rachel didn't go to those issues.

[Walk away]

17. You asked a question in responce to my OP and I answered you....

Maddow has a blog. If you are seeking to discover the reason she asked some questions and not others, you don't have to waste your time here. You can easily go to the source and possibly get an answer.

I often wonder why Bernie isn't put on the spot for his record of voting in support of Gun Manufactures but I wouldn't ask you why he doesn't talk about it in some interviews. I would go to the blog of the interviewer and ask .

Imagine, if next time Bernie gave an interview and didn't mention his pro-gun voting record, and we all posted in the Bernie forum asking why the interviewer didn't ask him about his views and record on guns. You wouldn't like that very much. Would you?

18. Look, my heels are not dug in so deep. .

She has really impressed me this past week, with the debate and with the Benghazi hearing. Because mental toughness and experience does matter, maybe more than "political purity". I liked how she seemed on Rachel last night - genuine, comfortable in her own skin, unhurried. The Clintons have generally served the country well over the years. In spite of incessant, ridiculous attacks from the right wing, they persevered.

If Maddow had asked what I assumed she would ask and Hillary answered as well as she did DADT, I might seriously be adding a Hillary pic to my signature line. Maybe Rachel was going for seeing the human side more than policy. It was a good interview. I just wish it would have been longer.

NO offense intended.

[Walk away]

19. Then your signature is insulting to anyone who supports Hillary.

I have no idea if you are telling the truth but calling us Third Way Right Wingers every time you post here is insulting, insensitive and rude.
If you are telling the truth then you need to change it or I honestly can't believe you.

You may, or may not, have intended offence, but I am offended.

20. Sorry.. Is this better?

Just a policy statement, on economics. I read too much Chomsky I guess. But it's gone now. We are on the same side. She would (and probably will) make a very good president. It's not all black-and-white.

Breathe deep. Chances are high that I will be in the voting booth next November selecting HRC.

[Walk away]

21. Yes, it is better.

There is nothing wrong with supporting your candidate who ever they may be. But you have made a good decision in not continuing to insult other people's candidate in their own forum every time you make, even reasonable, posts.

12. You are in the Hillary group

[lostnfound]

14. Sorry, I wasn't attacking her nor trying to break a protocol.

I genuinely wanted to see her discussion of those issues. I thought her answers on the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy were very honest and understandable. I genuinely would like to see her thoughts on those other issues. If she gave answers as grounded as her answers on the DADT and prison policies, I might well find myself becoming downright enthusiastic. I think she has had a helluva good week.
And I assumed I was in the Primaries group.

13. You misunderstood

It was not political expediency. The choices were to avoid a worse outcome from the Republicans. The best they could have done--just like Obamacare. We all wanted Obama to get single payer. It was not time for it when we got Obamacare. It will be someday. And someday people will attack Obamacare just like they now attack Clinton's decisions--

with superficial knowledge and without context.

[lostnfound]

16. Expediency not a bad word. I meant it only as practical and necessary

It was expedient for me to label it to "expediency". I though her answer was good and reasonable on that. Not attacking her. I would like similar clarity on her true feelings about some of the difficult issues of wealth inequality.

And I have huge respect for Obama for crafting Obamacare, for the reasons you say. It wasn't time for single payer, but he was able to craft something that was very good within the bounds permitted by the political realities of the time.

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. Sorry. I am so used to being on the defensive here of late.

Thanks for the explanation. I will try to be less defensive.
