Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton responds to her critics: "They never said that to any man who was not elected." [View all]
The 2016 election is over and Donald Trump is president, so why is Hillary Clinton still making public appearances and talking to crowds?
Or, as Ruth Mandel director of Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics, put it to Clinton Thursday at Rutgers in Piscataway, why still talk when "People say get off the stage and shut up"?
The former secretary of state's response was direct:
"They never said that to any man who was not elected."

OP
I'd like to see her become more vocal and less circumspect in her statements than ever before.

Why should she not speak out? Trumpie is still running against her, rather than actual governance.

Lets face it--many Democrats have said or indicated for her to be quiet. Yes they have...

"The Clinton wing of the party pushed Kerry to stop talking ... as he introduced Kerry/Feingold"

Well, she pretty well nailed it because it is true & she provided the facts of the matter.

Understand but for those you are speaking of that seems it will always be the case.

I think she should speak as much as she wants, BUT I don't like her answer.

Romney, Gore weren't constantly and viciously attacked by the new president, his base and a network

I didn't say it was "totally" based on her gender. In fact, I explicitly said it was not totally
