(57,936 posts)neither you nor Hillary nor anyone else knows where she stands.
She has to check with her hundreds of advisers before she dares make a policy statement.
That's one of the reasons I don't support her for president.
We know where she stands on the uncontroversial issues, but where does she stand on the tough ones?
And what shocks me the most is that people support her but cannot explain why or what her views are on central issues.
I have seen this before during the Kerry presidential campaign. It does not make for winning an election.
If she were a solid candidate, you would be able to answer my question with very little effort and even less research. But the fact is that Hillary is waiting to find out where she stands on a lot of issues until her paid and bought advisers tell her what the public wants to hear.
That's why I don't trust her and I won't vote for her.
Everybody makes mistakes. Everyone is wrong on issues or at least some issues. But a person who is qualified to be president knows where he or she stands on these major issues and is not afraid to tell the public about it.
We don't really know what Hillary stands for. Yet Democrats are supporting her merely because they have been told that she is ahead in the polls and is the "frontrunner." Just what she is running so far in front to do is a mystery. But to people who follow the leader, to people who don't ask questions, to people for whom personality is more important than issues, knowing nothing is fine enough.
We know what Hillary voted on in the past and where she stood on the issues of the past, but where does she stand on the issues of the present. All these people support her but they cannot say what her views are. That is a travesty.
