I know exactly what you are talking about. Yep, it was, as Snopes says, "ham-handed." But was it trying, in a young person's way, to make a serious point? Yep.

of said candidate's FUTURE PERFORMANCE. What speeches do we have from these time periods of Hillary and IF available what was the context of her discussion?
