What Was Hillary Thinking? A History of Poor Decision-Making

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-cohen-ben-and-jerrys/what-was-hillary-thinking-a-history-of-poor-decision-making_b_9442158.html

We cannot afford to elect a President with a history bad judgement, inconsistent positions, and who has used public service as a vehicle for private gain. In other words, we cannot afford the status-quo.

What was Hillary thinking when she supported Barry Goldwater -- a dyed-in-the-wool Republican who voted against the Civil Rights Act -- for president in 1964?

What was she thinking when she voted to authorize the war in Iraq despite having access to confidential information from the intelligence community that clearly stated that Iraq did not represent an imminent threat to the United States?

What was she thinking when she supported NAFTA? A bad trade deal between the US, Mexico, and Canada that cost American's over 700,000 good manufacturing jobs because it made it easy, inexpensive, and cost effective for manufacturers and big businesses to relocate or outsource their workforce.

Or when she called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) "the gold standard in trade agreements"? The same trade agreement that would force American workers to compete for jobs with South East Asia workers who earn $0.56 per hour?

We cannot survive repeated lousy judgement and Status Quo thinking

She was thinking. What I see is a rather shallow reactionary whose responses change with whatever might be popular at the time for personal enrichment. So not a deep thinker which is exactly what Goldman Sachs wants! No wonder they love her and pay her to be manipulated.

For her, reality exists mostly as those networks. She built them for the limited interest that is her commerce with bits of the out-of-network she hopes to intercept.

Her personality is perfect for the me-ism that was the 1990's.
