No actually it hasn't .....what you are describing is called wishful thinking...and mind reading. VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #137

And thank you for proving my point. Le Taz Hot May 2014 #139

You don't have a point.....you are reading into what she said..... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #140

She didn't say "at this time" AND she didn't say "in 2016". Dawgs May 2014 #143

that is still "mind-reading" no matter HOW you slice it..... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #144

So what? Are we not allowed to give our opinion on what we think a politician is saying? Dawgs May 2014 #147

So you are joining the ranks calling her a liar? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #149

I do believe that she's not running. Why would she? It's 2014. Dawgs May 2014 #150

I believe her.....because I trust her. I take her at her word..... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #151

I just told you that I believe her. Why don't you trust me? Are you calling ME A LIAR? Dawgs May 2014 #152

apparently not.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #153

the "for now" or "this time" or whatever the "Hip Progressives" are using these days... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #156

Wow! You are so scared of EW running that you call 'hoping she changes her mind' as.. Dawgs May 2014 #159

Not scared at all....are you trying to read MY MIND now too? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #160

There is NO DOUBT that you are scared. Don't need to read your mind. You've made it obvious. Dawgs May 2014 #161

How would you know there is "no doubt I am scared" unless you can read my mind? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #163

She isn't lying. She is not running for president at this time. JDPriestly May 2014 #59

No, she pledged not to run. joshcryer May 2014 #127

You all are adding the "not at this time"....she didn't didn't say those words did she? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #138

Because they can't handle the fact that she's not interesting in running. Beacool May 2014 #112

Of course they will, but the American public will dismiss it. joshcryer May 2014 #125
