1. I don't think so.

 

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.

2. I think you are onto somethig there...

 

but I think it is standard politician weaseling. Always have a trapdoor that you can use for an escape.

5. On the other hand I don't trust Sanders to the level you don't trust Clinton for a multitude

... of reasons but taking out trust of the candidate its a fact that Sanders has NEVER EVER apologized for any of his horrible votes.

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

8. The sniper fire one is what made me first withdraw any and all consideration of giving her my vote.

4. For me that's a plus, better someone "progressing" to better positions for everyone that voting

... to take the cops off the beat like Sanders did with his CFMA vote and NEVER apologizing for it.

A person who changes for the better is good

6. And the other Clinton apologized for signing the CFMA...

 

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.)

9. Her apologies are all lies

 

So I guess in that sense the answer is yes
