From the FBI probe of Clinton’s emails being a “witch hunt,” to her decision to use a private server merely for “convenience,” Hillary Clinton’s political message relies upon hidden meaning. Iraq was a “mistake” and she “evolved” on gay marriage; to investigate further might be labeled “Benghazi!” If Bernie Sanders used semantics in the manner utilized by Clinton (in order to circumvent controversy), there’s no doubt the media would have eviscerated him. Bernie’s opponent, however, “always tried” to tell the truth, so that’s more than enough for The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Euphemism plays a key role in Clinton’s recent status as “presumptive nominee.” Clinton has 2,203 pledged delegates, not the 2,383 she’d need to officially win the Democratic nomination. Thus, Clinton’s supredelegates cast their ballot during the Democratic Convention on July 25th, and these 574 Democratic party bosses (many of whom have lobbying ties to Clinton) will be needed to officially make the former Secretary of State nominee.
