2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhen was the last time that HRC has told the full truth about anything?
On any topic, without any of her usual disingenuous misrepresentation?
For example, last night in Youngstown, OH, Clinton advocated that the TPP's "rules of origin" labeling laws be strengthened so as not to put US manufacturers at a disadvantage.
The only problem is, the TPP's fast-track status means that it cannot, from the US' end, be modified or renegotiated in any way:
You want to talk about "unrealistic promises"? How realistic is it to promise to modify an agreement that can't, by law, be further modified?
I honestly can't recall the last time Hillary Clinton told the truth about a single topic. Can anyone here provide a counter-example?

One of those. And if the first is true, the second is true, too.
Fast Track means the TPP cannot be tweaked, strengthened, altered, or amended - Obama fought hard for that, and got it passed mainly with the votes of the GOP.

(146,317 posts)The problem is knowing what the "full truth" is. If we don't actually know, it's impossible to tell who is telling it and who is not. It's a complex world. I don't understand it, and doubt anybody does, really.
So, the "full truth?" Maybe nobody ever tells the "full truth," since they have no idea what it really is.

(55,981 posts)why the peons don't get to see it. Everything she says to us is misleading at best. She slipped up with her admiration for the Reagan's lack of actions re. HIV and Aids and spoke the truth in public and had to quickly try to walk it back. Her "misspeaking" about Sen Sanders voting against the auto bail out was calculated. She under estimated our ability to fact check and get the word out. She knew the Corp-Media wouldn't expose her "misspeak", but she under estimated social media.
She has amassed approx $50,000,000 in 15 years which would seen to indicate her main goal. I think she will do and/or say anything to get the power of the presidency.
