Chris Cillizza on Clinton's Response on Negative Advertising

[portlander23]

Hillary Clinton’s ‘Face the Nation’ appearance, annotated

DICKERSON: So, can I mark that down as a yes?

CLINTON: Yes.

DICKERSON: You will pledge not to?

CLINTON: Well, I have no -- no interest in doing that.

And this is NOT a pledge not to attack Bernie Sanders.

To be clear, I think Clinton would rather not attack Sanders. But, if he poses a real threat to her for the nomination, I will give you one guess on what she does.

[merrily]

1. IMO and that of many, she has already attacked him a number of times, via surrogates, allies and PAC

She has never disavowed or contradicted any of the attacks and has never made a clear promise not to attack him.

3. She said

That she is not going to attack him and would ask her supporters to follow suit. However, she did not say anything about her super pacs and "hope" doesn't mean anything at all.

Lawyer talk.

4. She won't do it, her PAC will.

Just like what she says regarding wanting more debates. She says that knowing the DNC/Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not allow. It all allows a duality.
