(6,409 posts)For me, it's the fact she apologizes without really apologizing. There is always a little fine print in her apologies, which makes them sound like her stands on the issues. Everything she says has a little escape clause built into it. I guess I shouldn't complain because this is what we get from our candidates now, standard Democratic Party procedure. If I was really offended by it, I would have to stop being a Democrat.

That to me says more than what I do or don't trust
Anyone human is going to make a mistake, humans who act like they don't are too insecure to change aren't the type of people who I'd like running the White House

A person who changes for the better is good

(3,457 posts)Hillary would have voted for her husband's CFMA is she had been in the Senate at the time. Don't kid yourself.
(By the way, the most insidious and final version of the CFMA was worked on by Phil Gramm and Clinton staffers. It was then attached to a must pass appropriations bill.)
