Doesn't surprise me, she would make a very good moderate Republican candidate.
Again, if you think Hillary supporters call all women who accuse men of rape and sexual assault liars I can see how you would be confused.
How do you think Hillary supporters refer to Crystal Mangum?

I would be happy to provide you with a reading list that covers a lot of the basics, but this is all pretty standard, mainstream modern neural physiology and brain development. Mid teens is generally considered the middle of the third stage of brain development the second "pruning" stage. This isn't to say that people are who they will be, at that age, merely that a lot of who we become is later influenced by the foundations that have been established by our experiences and the influences of our families, friends and communities up until those middle teenage years. Growth and development continue at a good pace up until about the mid twenties and at a much reduced rate as long as we are alive and experiencing the world.
I never claimed that Hillary should be judged today by what she thought when she was 16, however, I do believe that in many critical aspects of her politics she is far too conservative. This is understandable when you look not only at her Goldwater infatuation, but also her parents, family, and community as well as her religiosity.
Snipped rest, because... awgawdthestoopid.
But while Hillary’s struggles with the whole truth on certain issues have garnered huge attention, driving up her negatives, Trump and Bernie Sanders have been getting away with some full Burger King Double Whoppers that will come crashing down on the whole country if either gets the chance to do what he says.

This is understandable when you look not only at her Goldwater infatuation, but also her parents, family, and community as well as her religiosity. Not that being religious makes one conservative, but her brand and flavor of religion is definitely socially and ideologically conservative. Her past merely helps one to understand where her present conservative leanings and tendencies were sprouted and given root. I don't dislike Hillary and seek flaws to fit that dislike. I dislike her political behavior and thus don't much care for her as a personal representative of my political inclinations and preferences. If she were not running to be my representative in office, I could care less about any other thing related to her.
Twenty Thousand Committed To Anti-Hillary 'Occupy DNC' Protest
More than twenty thousand people have committed to protest Hillary Clinton’s likely nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia — and that number is quickly growing.
The protesters are united in their support for Bernie Sanders, as well as their opposition to “a fraudulent Hillary nomination,” according to the group’s website.
Their leaders have set up a Facebook group titled — Occupy DNC Convention — to organize housing and transportation.
Protesters are encouraged to read documents shared within the group. One document is titled “Civil Disobedience Training.” Another is titled “Health and Safety at Militant Actions” and includes tips on first-aid and withstanding teargas.
One document, titled “Why ‘Occupy DNC Convention’?” explains the protesters’ mission: “we are contesting Hillary’s nomination on the grounds of fraud, voter suppression, and corruption. We show them who we want.”
To date, more than 22,200 protesters have joined the group, which has received a permit to protest from the City of Philadelphia. The city has issued several permits for what looks to be massive pro-Sanders protests throughout the convention.

BS. Regardless what you did or didn't claim, you judged.I never claimed that Hillary should be judged today by what she thought when she was 16...
Your binary outlook and over-the-top hyperbole has reached self-parody proportion.^ This guy is treating on thin ice defending a mass murderer of people brainwashed Americans are usually not taught to see as human beings, having no excuse himself. Ugly.
BS. Regardless what you did or didn't claim, you judged.
This is post hoc pop psychology of the worst sort. The key part is that you dislike her political behavior and are looking for a Cosmopolitan Magazine type psych profile to see how she got to those positions. I know dozens if not hundreds of people who had enough of a similar upbringing to Hillary that they should be identical to her by your standards...
And here's that stupid argument again. What she felt at 16 cannot be used to say anything about her political attitudes today. This is because people change, especially during their teenage years.
You have also managed to assert that people with religious parents who claim that they are progressives should be viewed with suspicion...
Not at all.
of course when you snip out the qualifiers, statements become much more extreme that they were in the full context of what was actually said.

Zombie time at campaign Hillary
It’s zombie time at campaign Hillary. Behold the dead men walking! It was with strangely slow, narcotized numbness that the candidate and her phalanx of minions and mouthpieces responded to last week’s punishing report by the State Department’s Inspector General about her email security lapses. Do they truly believe, in the rosy alternate universe of Hillaryland, that they can lie their way out of this? Of course, they’re relying as usual on the increasingly restive mainstream media to do their dirty work for them.
Meanwhile, former Bill Clinton advisor and pollster Douglas Schoen gave the strongest signal yet in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week (“Clinton may not be the nominee”) that worried backstage huddles in the Democratic party establishment are reaching fever pitch. The article’s floating of the idea of a Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren substitute ticket (which I’ve been privately predicting to friends all year) is so evenly and magisterially phrased that I wondered if the text had been vetted by an approving White House.
So this may be why Bernie Sanders (my candidate) has gone into overdrive—not to damage Hillary, as her acolytes spitefully claim, but to fight off the tactical insertion of Biden at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia. Sanders could rightly claim, on the basis of his long and strenuous primary campaign, that if anyone deserves the nomination vacated by a tarnished Hillary, it is he. If Sanders does defer to Biden, it will only be via enormous concessions, beginning with the unceremonious removal of devious DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

In the Democratic race, Senator Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are evenly matched at 28 percent (based on 43 checks of Mr. Sanders and 140 checks of Mrs. Clinton). Outside of the primary campaign, we’ve continued checking the public statements of Bill Clinton since 2007; he comes out slightly ahead of President Obama in his truth-telling track record.
So, Crooked Hillary
