(5,364 posts)For all her accusations about parsing and skirting, she is in fact doing exactly that as the questions are strawmen arguments, and deliberately worded to more or less force the answerer to make a choice of sounding like either a deliberate contrarian or a caricature of what she thinks liberals sound like.
I would have liked to known just what she was referring to about the "crap" regarding China. My assumption is that you ( or whoever she is directing her comments at ) nailed her down on a point she would have to concede, and so she is tying to make that irrelevant. I surmise it's about trade policy and off-shoring and the resultant job loss and downward pressure on wages. Being a conservative, she no-doubt would not want to touch that issue with a ten foot pole.
