That's the kind of unambiguous statement people can agree on. Just saying.

Anyone can list a bunch of one or two worded sound bites
Could there ever in the world be a reason to raise the retirement age?
Here is what Hillary said I think.
She gave a list if conditions under which she would consider raising the retirement age. Then she said she doesn't see those conditions ever happening. Ergo she is not for raising the retirement age.
The only difference between you and her is that you keep your reasons not to raise the retirement age to yourself.
Hillary has learned how to handle herself in these situations. If you twist her meaning by taking her words out of context it can always be fact checked and it will come out in her favor.
