So what did you learn from Secretary Clinton herself, and from the 16 experience? You spent some time with her, she went out to Colorado a few times.
She is one of the smartest policy experts on almost anything. Things that I go do deep dives in. On apprenticeships, and how were going to train the workforce of the future, she could go back into the 1980s and go back to the whole evolution of workforce programs in both the federal government and various state governments. Um, but I also saw that, you know, trying to answer all the policy things in the campaign is, its a burden. It means you give these long speeches that not everybody buys into.
You know, lets be honest. Secretary Clinton had a foreign government hack into her email and publicize it. Well, WikiLeaks hacked into it. The foreign government went in and tried to, you know, take down her campaign through, you know, fake news and bots and all that social media effort. She had the FBI actually come out and make allegations ten days before the election, that turned out to be baseless. No ones ever had that, you know, not to mention billions of dollars in attack ads that had been going on for several years against her. And she still won the popular vote, and she had gotten close to winning the Electoral College. People are quick to criticize her, but, you know, I think by a lot of measures, despite all those obstacles, she almost won.So Im not gonna criticize her.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
