Reply #17: Bad headline and dumb reasoning -- Hillary screwed up healthcvare

[Armstead]

Bad headline: The U Penn Student Newspaper endorsed Clinton, not the university itself.

Second they screwed the pooch in their editorial. I guess they were too young at the time to pay attention:

"Take her leadership on health-care issues. In 1993, then-first lady Clinton urged America to embrace universal health care during her keynote speech at Penn's commencement. Unfortunately, she was far ahead of the times. Her proposal was met with fierce resistance and ultimately rejected."

No the public was clamoring for healthcare reform. perhaps they weren;t ready for single-payer universal care, but reform was a big election issue, and one of the reasons the Clintons got elected.

But Hillary screwed the pooch with bad leadership and management of the effort. She managed to take a popular issue and kill it.
