(6,280 posts)... just can't stand it. Howard Dean is a real trooper, you know, escaping out from under that bus long enough to do that.

(22,308 posts)No good answers for why she was wrong on the 3 issues she flip flopped on and no reason to assume she will not be wrong on major issues in the future either.
She did as well as could be expected. Clearly in damage control mode though.

(22,308 posts)Truthfully, I think she could have done a little better, but was being nice.
When she alluded to her "wiped with a cloth" comment she called herself sarcastic. In my opinion, that was a mistake.
She had a chance to point out that she did not know if the server had been wiped or not, and missed out on making that point. It would have helped distance her from what was done with the emails and the server.
I did like her answer about the server having been in her house for years. This is something I was unaware of and it did shed some light into the logistics of having her email set up there.
I also think that she did well explaining how her lawyers went through the emails to decide what was personal and what was not.
The fact that she has her past mistakes to answer for should be self evident. Her ability to make a correct choice at the time when it needs to be made is in question. Deciding years later that she was wrong is not the kind of thing that wins you the White House.

she loses the general election for being uniquely malleable and unlikeable.
