2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What specific POLICY POSITIONS show Sec. Clinton to be "Not Liberal" or "Not a Democrat?" [View all]her record, over the entirety of her career, is "mindless"? Whose mind are we talking about here? I gave you her record over the course of decades, things she has supported up to a matter of months ago (foreign policy decisions, the TPP, the free trade deals, getting massive amounts of money from banks and corporate interests), and you want us to ignore that because of some words she says in a speech or some posting online. THAT is mindless. If I made this argument to you in regards to a Republican you wouldn't accept it. Would you accept me ignoring Ted Cruz's record because of what he is saying in speeches or online now? That isn't a matter of logic, sorry, it is a matter of psychology, and emotional attachment.
Notice too how you just respond to the first sentence and ignore everything else I said. At what point in the past does her record start to not matter now? Can you give us a timeline? Just to let you know, this is not a winning argument with the general public. You don't win by making this argument when people don't trust her. That is one reason, among many others, I think she is a very weak candidate. She has a great resume, is very smart and tough, but a bad candidate in the general election. However, the Republicans will be worse. Wonderful political system we have.
