(4,484 posts)44. In 2008, the Clinton campaign tried the "Easy when you have no record" defense
on Obama when he criticized her Iraq War votes.
Deflecting bad choices by saying someone else didn't have to make those same choices doesn't make the bad choices better.
That defense wasn't a good look in 2008, and it's not a great look now.
I think Amy is great but she needs a better response than. "I am a Senator you were a mayor." That's so condescending.

might be a cultural thing, I am US-born but London raised, it is most often applied to women
