2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: No, Hillary Clinton is not too old to be president [View all]Beacool
(30,247 posts)7. No, she did not overreact in Africa.
She had been to Goma, against everyone's advice due to the risks involved (even the UN recommended not going). She saw there the appalling conditions of the women and children at the camp. She also heard their terrible stories about being raped repeatedly, tortured and in some cases having their babies killed.
She then makes a point of reaching out to young people (as she did in every country she visited) and has to hear someone ask, not her opinion on a deal with China, but her husband's?????
Please..........
As for 2016, if she runs, this time she wins. The left and the right be damned.
