In reply to the discussion: Clinton: Unnecessary regulations thwart business growth [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)42. Bullying is for the GOP. Democrats listen. It's still government By, Of and For the People. Focus of
OP is what the people told her, not what she told them.
If you heard her tell them what to do, I guess you'd find fault with her for that as well. People don't like being talked down to.
You aren't making sense to me, and I doubt you would to them, either if you were there. Since when does a crowd of people shut up and beg a candidate, "Lead me! I don't know how to live my own life."
Their views are not my views. It was just a report of what was said at the meeting. As I said, it's collecting data which she may or may not use in formulating new policies in a changing milieu. That's what a wise person does, listen and not yell what to do and think.
The OP reports on an interview that was informal, not a rally who had a bogeyman to attack or 'lead.' No one focuses on an enemy when having meetings. That's for rallies, and even the wisest politicans don't do that.
There is no promise she will ever be a fire brand speaker; she never has been. She is subdued. It does make it harder to get where she's coming from. But her voting record at Ballotpedia does say what she supports ad what she is about.
Whenever she begins making speeches, we'll see what she's learned. It will take a long time to go to all the states to hear the People and not just herself.
EOM.

Precisely, which is why it was phrased that way. It can mean whatever you want it to mean.

So all these years, H> hasn't been listening? Or is she just tone deaf? Leaders are supposed to lead, it's as simple as that.

It all depends on what she means by this. There are silly and ponderous regulations on the books.
