Clinton pretty much told the truth. So, there goes the MEME.

1. Clinton told the truth - there's your headline

[bravenak]

4. Yep

[revbones]

7. Too bad it's not true

Thought I had typed that in the preceding comment. Oh well, you knew that anyway.

[bravenak]

8. She was honest

[revbones]

9. Nope. That's pretty obvious. n/t

[bravenak]

10. Not really. She was fact checked. Honest.

[revbones]

11. At this point, I have doubts that her name is even "Hillary" since she lies so much.

[bravenak]

12. Very strange

[revbones]

13. Yes, she is.

[bravenak]

14. Not her

The things said about her. I could not stand her until she started getting attacked again. The more she is attacked, the more I identify with her. Strange.

[revbones]

15. Yes her.

[bravenak]

18. No

[revbones]

20. Yes

2. The analysis doesn't support your contention.

The key phrase is in the title "legislative weeds".

Bernie pretty much told the truth, too, according to the article.

Ninety-nine percent of voters aren't going to be swayed by the intricacies of legislation and the vagaries of maneuvering on the House and/or Senate floor.

On the other hand, it does make Hillary look like she will be a typical politician and smear and jeer over even the most trivial and inane points if she thinks it might advance her own ambition.

[bravenak]

3. I never mentioned Bernie

The article supports my contention that she was being honest

[earthside]

5. And that Bernie was being honest, too.

There's the MEME!

[bravenak]

6. But I was trying not to mention him!!!

[hobbit709]

16. you were certainly alluding to him.

But then that was your game plan.

[bravenak]

17. No

[hobbit709]

19. Let's just say that you couldn't convince me to buy a bridge.

[bravenak]

21. Why would I want to?
