Hillary felt threatened in Virginia by the hostage occurrence, so she stopped campaigning and left .......?

Question

and then goes to New Hampshire and walks around in a presidentical manner (according to the news) and it just happens to be a state she has to win. Hmm, I don't know. Your honest thoughts please.

Answer 1

Well, I'm glad the hostage situation ended peacefully, but if she has to put her campaign on hold for something like this, then this reinforces my position that she is not fit to lead the nation.

This hostage situation is a minor incident compared to the tragedies she will have to deal with if elected. A true leader forges in even in the face of tragedy.

If she were truly concerned, she should have flown up there right away, not wait until everything was safe.

Answer 2

If I had campaign workers held hostage because they were working on my behalf, I'd jet up to that state so I could be in position when the crisis abated. My workers would deserve my personal thanks if everything came out okay, and their families would deserve my personal condolences if it didn't That's just simple decency.

P.S. I am not a Hillary fan by ANY stretch of the imagination.

Answer 3

If she'd continued campaigning in Virginia while her campaign workers in NH were held hostage, there'd be criticism of that action instead. I can't think of any possible thing she could have done that her critics wouldn't have found fault with, actually.

Answer 4

I don't see what was so Presidential about it all. She stayed out of it completly and had nothing to fear since she wasn't even there. Her workers had to deal with it.
