Discussion: Clinton: 'I'm Not A Natural Politician'

Discussion for article #247160

A recent Washington Post poll found that only 37 percent of Americans found Clinton “honest and trustworthy.”

That’s still 37% more than Ted Cruz.

It’s nice she took responsibility, but the vast majority of the responsibility for what Americans believe about Hillary Clinton is the result of the news media not doing their job by either perpetuating false narratives or not giving the viewers the truth, which often requires nuance and explanation.

What’s interesting to me is that is what I have always said about Hillary. She isn’t the natural politician; she married the natural politician. But that does not mean that she can’t be a great President. I think she can, and will, be if given the opportunity. She’s had the toughest gauntlet of any elected official in my lifetime, and been attacked the most from her very first entry onto the national stage.

I will support the Democratic nominee whichever one wins, but I’m rooting for her. I think she has earned this fight, and I think she has it in her to win, for all the right reasons.

She should have responded in a robot voice: “Message: I care.”

Yeah but those same media would excoriate her for articulating the obvious truth. Part of the liberal’s dilemma is knowing when to, and that you have to, bite your tongue and just let some misinformation be.
