Hillary's daft Reagan AIDS comment: Another peek of off script Hillary

Like when confronted by the "Bring them the heel" statement. When she is not scripted and statements not focus group tested, she bombs.

Like the first few times she was asked about her emails.

Like the first few times she was asked about her speech transcripts.

We are pissed off for her lies and revisionism of the AIDS crisis in the 1980's and her fluffy love for all things Reagan.

Why did she feel the need to score political points by pushing such a bogus narrative?

she has no business ever being in the White House.

I was in college and was more informed than she apparently.

If that is your excuse for her and her lie, god help us!

Especially someone who followed political figures?

How would one of Hillary's history and stature even become misinformed to that degree?

Clinton lied about AIDS to try to score political points.

Obviously, the record will be set straight.

Wait.....not lied......misspoke.......totally different.......lying is not cool......misspeaking is no big deal.

And not gifted with the instinct for saying the right thing. Whether you like him or not (and I don't) Bill Clinton possessed that in abundance. President Obama also has a great deal of it.

Hillary, however, has a tendency toward tone deafness and an apparent inability to consider the implications of statements she makes. A very poor quality for a potential POTUS.

14. She's the "hard working student" smart, not really naturally gifted I think

Certainly not stupid but far from brilliant and apparently a great inside player when she has a former POTUS in her corner.
