Hillary Clinton's Lead Pipe Answer 'Made Me Vomit In My Mouth,' Flint Questioner Says

[Cheese Sandwich]

"I hated Hillary Clinton's answer," Walters, 38, told The Huffington Post on Monday. "It actually made me vomit in my mouth."
...

"To tell a Flint resident that we'll handle this in five years is no different than what the city was telling us and what the state was telling us," Walters said.
...

Sanders at the debate promised that under a Sanders administration the EPA would keep its eye on water safety, which is essentially what the agency is already supposed to do. Walters considered it a lame answer, but a more honest one.

Another thing she disliked about what Clinton said was the former Secretary of State's focus on lead from paint and dust. Epidemiologists consider paint and dust to be the more significant sources of lead exposure, but public water systems have used those factors to downplay concerns about water lead.

1. She said nationally it should take five years -

Including for paint and soil.

2. Oh... I'm Sure There Are Plumbers Who Could Beat That Timeline...

3. There is a society that could beat that timeline...

if it were interested in investing in that rather than the next round of wars set to start soon as Clinton gets in.

4. All across the country? Seriously? Nope.

7. Honestly that's a huge amount of work, it's a hard question to answer truthfully because

the truth sucks.

So I guess Bernie's answer was lame but at least it was more honest.

8. It is an enormous job. I'm not sure they know the scope of it till towns get tested.

I think they both tried to promise as much of a commitment as they could, but it's hard to guess what it will take.
