Arby you are terribly misinformed. If Hillary's handlers wasn't so worried about how bad she looked they wouldn't have been making these types of comments... Face it. She looked really bad in a semi tough situation....

Answer 1

True, the debate was the first time anyone asked her a difficult question. The soft toss stuff is out the door when she gets the nomination.

Answer 2

These days, the truth is to be avoided like the plague in most politicians' minds. Truth might make the people free, and most politicians want them bound.

By evading the tough questions, politicians can then distract the people by attacking those who have hard ideas and speak to them.

But one can get a pretty good idea in the unguarded moments, and by reading the list of supporters, where a politician's mind is, and how the government will be run if that politician is in office.

She is smart. As long as she does not really answer, folks will vote for her on peripheral items, and then after she will spring the surprises, when it is too late to retract your vote!!

It is most unfortunate that voting people seem to like those who promise lots in vague terms over those who say it will take work but we can straighten this mess out. And here's how.

Churchill had nothing to offer but blood, sweat, and tears, but he won the war, with a little help from his friends, and saved the world from domination by a monster.

But in general, these days the more a Politician can promise in vague terms that sound good, and the less real commitment the politician makes, the more likely they are to be successful in getting elected. Unfortunate but true.

Hillary may do well because everybody is guessing she will do it their way, and do not dig to see where she finds her support so will do it their way instead! Regardless of what she says to garner votes.

And I am impressed by her allusions to Democracy, because our government would have to fall from its constitutional position that made us great to go into a democracy...if one really checks. That Hillary seems to want this makes me fear if she were to be President. She may or may not fail in her goal, but it would be a terrible fall for the USA!!.

So many citizens are trained in non-thinking patterns in our Public Schools that she can get by with loaded words, and most will no longer notice. I think she is a lot smarter and infinitely more crafty, than her opponents even consider possible. So they are likely to fail. And the stakes are terribly important for the USA long term.

Answer 3

Get used to the idea that politicians -- all politicians who are running a serious campaign and not those like Ron Paul or Mike Gravel who are out for the free publicity -- feel they must avoid tough questions because those are the ones that alienate at least some of the electorate. Even once in office (see the case of George W. Bush), the tendency is to sidestep such issues. A truly good interviewer like Tim Russert will keep after them with a follow-up question, but even then they give up after at most three tries. Remember that a candidate gets in trouble over what he or she says, not over what they avoid saying...

Answer 4

that's easily regularly used that GW vegetation questions, and excludes media people who could ask not straightforward questions, that's plenty greater controlling. the authentic reason is so as that the Candidate can communicate approximately themes they want to chat approximately. this would not exclude others from asking not straightforward questions. they could might desire to have notably much all of the questions planted with the intention to ward off questions, that's composed of tightly controlling who's allowed into the Q&A consultation, which Hillary would not.

Answer 5

The only place she really stumbled in the debate was about the NY drivers license issue. She did double-speak. She is a NY senator and is no doubt in the middle of this heated issue.

I sensed from her answer the frustration that the bigger issue of illegal immigration has not been addressed which leaves the states and local governments to devise ways of dealing with the lack of enforcement of the laws by the federal government.

There are laws being made to deal with the root cause being that the federal law has not been enforced leaving it to be a hot issue and everyone floundering to deal with it. The fact that local governments are making laws to deal with the issue is a strong indication of how badly this is effecting the country. The whole issue is double speak.

Answer 6

Why would any political hack answer a question put to them
by people that they consider "useless eaters" "trash"
"freedom lovers"

The jackals running for office are intelligent, slippery critters;
they can answer questions just as cogently as the next vermin running, BUT THEY WON'T BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE ANY ONE OF US AN HONEST TO GOD BOTTOM LINE ANSWER

I f Hilary Clinton ever gave us a direct answer to WHY ARE WE STILL ALLOWING ILLEGALS TO POUR INTO AMERICA?

If she ever told us the truth about the income tax and just WHO IS LIABLE AND WHO ISN'T;

If she ever spilled the beans as to why Commrade Bush
is attempting to merge Mexico,Canada and the United States into a huge super-state she'd be out of a job before the end of the day.
So it's not a question of .." Why can't she answer a question"

It's always this question- "Why should she?"

Answer 7

Your words:
She is going to be destroyed in a real debate when she goes against the Republican nominee.

And the Republican nominee (whichever of the three stooges gets the nomination) is not going to be asked tough questions?
Think again. (Or are they going to base their campaigns on 'smearing' Hillary?)

Hillary stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Answer 8

I'm going to answer your question with a question:

"Why can't people who ask questions stop making poorly veiled attempts at rants that are nothing more than an invitation to have other nodding heads from whichever side seems to be attractive to them join in bashing someone rather than in actually discussing issues or seeking information, as would seem more logical in a 'question and answer' format?"

Yeah. I think that's the answer this question merits.

Answer 9

yeah,,this question,,coming from just another intimidated man,,who's for all male government,,and having the lil woman in the home,,worshiping her fat,,lazy,,couch potato husband,,

i say,,the other male candidates are so intimidated by her they pile up against her,,she holds her own,,in a testosterone dominated world, she's more experienced and more knowledgeable of what America needs to get us out of the collapsing economy the current leaders have created..

Answer 10

It won't matter. Ron Paul is the only one who is even asked really tough questions by the media. He answers them all, wins debates, is then uncerimoniously discarded by the media and termed to be irrelevant.
