(26,355 posts)Hillary has lied to us too many times.
Most recently, she lied about Snowden. Said he could have been a whistleblower, even though whistleblower protections were not available to contractors, and even if they were, we're in a country where whistleblowers who did try to follow the rules ended up in prison.
I think she's lying about TPP. She claims she doesn't support it now, yet she helped negotiate it. Do you really think that as Secretary of State, she just sat in her office, playing Minesweeper on her computer while that was being negotiated?
And then we have her surrogates, like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, trying to game the system and clear the path by stifling debates and trying to get the rest of us to sit down and shut up, of course, because It's Her Turn. Wouldn't want democracy to get in the way of Her Turn, would she? Hillary could end it with a phone call, but instead she's doing the duplicitous "I'd like to have more debates, but Debbie laid down the rules." What a crock of shit.
