Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press

Hillary spoke with Chuck Todd from Wisconsin last night.  The interview aired on Meet the Press today.

Thank you, DNC, for the video!




Items that were discussed:
Her New York ad with the anti-Trump cast:  Hillary said Trump does not represent American or New York values.

Her position on abortion:  Hillary's position on abortion is Roe v. Wade. She said she has seen all over the world what happens when governments make these decisions.

Re: The dustup-in-Westchester with the Greenpeace activist:  Hillary pointed toward her climate change record. She said the Sanders campaign is misrepresenting her record.  She rarely talks about it(so I will):  there was this and this and finally THIS after our president and secretary of state sniffed out and broke into secret meeting of China, Brazil, I think India, and a few others.

Sanders on paid speeches: She pointed out that her plan takes on more than the banks.

Transparency, secrecy, and the server: She repeated that it was not the best choice.  It was a mistake.  She suggested that they ask the others for their emails and said that she has put all of hers out.  She said the FBI has not reached out for an interview, she is not concerned about the tick-tock re: the convention.

The debate debate: Hillary is confident that there will be a debate. The camps are in negotiation and Sanders camp has rejected proposals.

Speaking on the phone with Chuck Todd, Hillary clarified that she does not campaign on what she is against but rather what she is for.  Specifically with regard to trade agreements, she pointed out that some have been very good for jobs here so she evaluates them on a case-by-case basis.  As always, Hillary was upbeat and specific.  Her message is about what she is for not about what she opposes.



This is just my opinion:  It seems that Bernie Sanders has pulled up stakes in SC and moved on to states where he thinks his odds of winning are better.  That speaks to me, and it should speak to all voters.  It means he sees people not as people but as votes, and if he thinks he can't win your vote, he turns his back on you and moves on to others whose votes he might win.

Hillary has stuck around, even though her odds in SC are very good.  She has continued to meet with voters, addressed their concerns, and wants people to know that 1) she takes not voters or votes for granted and 2) she will fight for what is right for people even when they do not support her.  It takes a true altruist to do what Hillary does.
