Putting words in the candidate's mouth.

Hillary has been relatively quiet compared to the other candidates on both sides, at least where the national media venues are concerned. As a result there's been a free for all of speculation, interpretation and dredging up previous...WAY previous...actions and comments by her, Bill (as if they're interchangeable) and everyone ever associated with her. Then when she says something for herself that disagrees with the aforementioned, she's accused of being dishonest.

I think biding her time is fairly smart, because she's going to be run over with every steamroller they can find once she does, so being well prepared is a plus. But I look forward to the day when Hillary's words are her own, and the trolls, shills and stirrers have to at least hear them. Then we'll have a race.

Agree. She's for a Dem win, first. She'll save it for the GOP. It's why they hate her so much. n/t freshwest May 2015 #4

You're probably right. Clinton is saving her best stuff to shoot at her Republican opponent. She will only return fire if any of her primary opponents start to gain ground.

She is not letting the silly faction run her campaign, it is killing them, she is not dancing to their fiddle. While they rant and rave over and over she is just letting them burn at stake.
