2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: The US "Can't Be BLACKMAILED" by Saudi Arabia [View all]JackRiddler
(24,979 posts)6. Clinton doesn't know? Bullshit.
In a fair news environment this would be given the same treatment that Sanders' Daily News interview got and is still getting, except with the key difference of course that in Sanders did know what he was talking about and it was the Daily News interviewers who were confused.
But you know what? HRC is not stupid and she was Secretary of State. Of course she knows all about this issue. So here we do not see her being astonishingly ignorant of something that was central to her portfolio as SoS. We do see her surprised by the question, and not ready with a smoother prevarication. So she has to resort to the blatant lie of "I don't know."

Yeah, bad answer. But Sanders is writing checks he can't cash. He's so out there it's frightening.

We don't have enough oil to be independent. We need natural gas, and we need it from fracking.
