    There's that pragmatic dem strategy of avoiding a meaningful stance on anything. So afraid of saying yes or no and too conditioned to speak in platitudes that she ends up saying less than nothing.

    I can't see how she still convinces people she is an iconic figure. I'd love to hear her unprepared statements from her time as a prosecutor.

      She was probably extremely coherent then. She just gets caught up when she's not allowed to say fuck the poor.

      Hillary was smarter, she would say "I agree with the goal of universal healthcare", 5 seconds later she would say "That is why everyone should vote in favor of candidates like me, who reject universal healthcare. This election and every election forever."

      And the journalists didn't think "wait, that doesn't make sense", because they were on her side, they were safe to just move on to the next topic, making the casual viewer think that what she said made sense.
