Clinton Press Conference Counter

No, she gave a very coherent answer to Kristen Welker, who asked her about that very question.

But that won't stop you from continually bringing up every perceived transgression multiple times in different threads. :rolleyes:

A lot of people seem to have that perception.

"One would think the talking points would change after receiving Four Pinocchios from The Washington Post Fact Checker, “Pants on Fire” from PolitiFact and “false” from FactCheck.org.

But, nope, Clinton fell back on a claim that has been roundly debunked by fact checkers."

But it's obviously just a "perception" thing. Or HDS, that's the ticket!

Terrific.

I'm not sure why we need to keep beating this horse to death, so to speak.

It has little to do with how effective or ineffective she will likely be as a POTUS.

But, if this is the worst thing you can continue to hang on her, keep beating it.:boxedin:

How many different threads have you posted this link on today?

HDS does become a plausible explanation.

Maybe you don't care that a politician repeatedly lies.

Every politican lie. Some lie more than other. Guess which is which from those two: Trump and Hillary?

If you are so principled that you won't vote on anyone that ever lied, you resign from participating in politics forever.

I don't remember where I heard or read this, but someone once described/defined politics as "the art of sucking a dick to get a bridge built." The expansion on that, as I recall, was that an experienced politician merely promises to suck a dick, a skillful politician gets a third party involved to actually do the sucking, and a masterful politician convinces someone to suck their own dick then owe the politician a favor for arranging it.

Maybe because she keeps telling the same lie?

It has little to do with how effective or ineffective she will likely be as a POTUS.

Trust and honesty have little to do with how effective a president will be? Actually, they are precious commodities and when you squander them by repeatedly telling stupid lies, nobody will trust you. Do you go around just lying your ass off at work?

It's not like this is a new revelation. The Boy Who Cried Wolf is how many thousands of years old?

But, if this is the worst thing you can continue to hang on her, keep beating it.:boxedin:

There is a smorgasbord of failure when it comes to Clinton. 69% of people have a serious concern with her record of dishonesty, and only a third of the electorate views her favorably.

No, she's not Trump, which is her saving grace, but neither is she going to be a President that is liked or believed. She'll assume office with 60+% of the electorate convinced she's dishonest and untrustworthy. No first-term President has ever assumed office with numbers that bad. I don't think any 2nd term Presidents, even Nixon, were viewed that negatively by the public when they started their 2nd term.

Why is this bad? Think about it. The GOP will still control the House, possibly the Senate. When a President is disliked and distrusted by overwhelming majorities of the electorate, does it make it easier or harder for the opposition party to fight them at every turn? Hmmm.
 
Given Trump's catastrophic performance at his last couple of pressers, I would think the answer to the question "why doesn't Clinton have more press conferences?" is fairly obvious. They really don't do that much good and have the potential to do a lot of damage.

Democrats made a big deal out of Bush's failure to hold press conferences.

They've also made a big deal about Trump's lies and Bush lying us into war. Democrats are hilarious when they claim Bush was a war criminal and then elect one of the most dishonest politicians since Tricky Dick to be their standard bearer.

One of the reasons Clinton is viewed so negatively by people is people expect politicians to lie about their opponents. It's part of the game. What bugs people are lies that are told for self-aggrandizement (dodging sniper fire, leaving the White House "dead broke"), lies about things that are obviously true (what, the FBI said I was truthful!), and lies to get themselves out of hot water (hey, other SoS's had private servers, my email practices were approved, all my deleted emails were personal).

Clinton lies reflexively and repeatedly. It bothers people. It's going to make it hard for her to enact her policies.

I suggest we revisit this prediction in 8 years and see how you did.
