138. Her non-answers reveal her positions. I can answer pretty accurately for you.

Sep 2015

On Keystone XL pipeline: She's 100% for it. If she was even the slightest bit against it, knowing where the public stands on the issue, she would ABSOLUTELY proclaim her position. Since she's silent, you know she's for it. That was an easy one.

On Debates: DWS has H's back and will take the heat for fewer debates. That frees H to publicly call for more debates, even though fully aware it ain't gonna happen...right Debbie Wink*Wink. That was an easy one.

On Glass Stegal: If she was FOR re-instituting it, given the mood of the voters, she would be screaming it from the hilltops. She isn't, so she is obviously against even the premise of Glass Stegal. That was an easy one.

On TPP: She helped to draft it, Bloomberg News praised her monumental efforts in single handedly being a major force behind it as SoS. It is ludicrous to even consider for a brief moment that she "may" be against it. That was an easy one.

On Server being wiped: "You mean like with a cloth or something"? Did you happen to catch the lameness of her response? In 2015 she has absolutely NO IDEA what the term "wiped the server" means? Really? She did it, she knows it, she had her reasons, and if you think she had "no idea" then you are simply a buffoon. That was an easy one.

On Bubbas crime legislation: Didn't you get the memo, it was not the legislation BUT "how it was implemented". Little old us had absolutely "no idea" it would be used against PoC to ruin millions of lives. If she thought it was a failure, or that it should be legislated away with...she would emphatically say so because it would improve her lot with the voters. She won't say that, so the answer is obvious "hubby's policies are working as intended". That was an easy one.

On Medical Marijuana: 'We need more evidence'. Do we really? TPTB have informed her it ain't gonna happen...not now. She is obediently dodging the subject. She may actually be personally FOR this one, but she will nevertheless, succumb to the masters bidding "NO MEDICAL MARIJUANA". That was an easy one.

On NSA Spying: Again, given the mood of the country on this issue, if she was against such actions by the NSA, she would have already stated it publicly. That was an easy one.
