Somebody will surely ask her opinion and she will have to say yes or no to the pipeline which will either piss off her big bucks contributors or Democratic primary voters.

She's feeling the heat and getting scared.

She'd love to be able to avoid taking a side on a controversial issue. That's really not different from most politicians.

She seems to lean in favor of both and that makes a resolution by Obama especially attractive.

She was in charge of the State Department when people were out risking their lives and their jobs to block pipeline construction. She picked her side.

She does owe us a straight answer. But no matter what that answer is I really couldn't care because I'm voting by their records not by their promises.

on issues as important as this?

Sanders isn't waiting for someone else to make a decision, he is running for the position of the leader of this country and as such, he is making HIS decisions on the issues.

You can't be a follower if you want to be a leader.

And this is an easy decision to make.
