How Hillary can disappoint
I’m trying to get on the Hillary Clinton bandwagon. Every time that I start feeling pretty good about Hillary, she does something that makes me reach for the barf bag. A couple of weeks ago, she voted for that Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. Look, we have known this since the mid-1990’s. This is no secret. The problem is if you don’t want to start a war publicly denouncing Iran was a bad idea and it gives the president one more piece of ammunition. The latest item that has thrown me off of the Hillary bandwagon was the planted question. Why? If you are trying to change the culture of cloak and mirrors then what was this? Of course, Hillary’s camp said that this was an isolated incident. An eager staffer. But I’m not so sure.
