In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton hasn’t answered a question from the media in 20 days [View all]Nay
(12,051 posts)from the newspapers for 20 days or 100 days -- I DO care that she has been depending on, as you say, patriotic-sounding ads that don't say much. If she didn't want to lay out her specific beliefs about issues, then why declare so early? Frankly, she should have had her beliefs on the issues squared away WAAAAAY before she even thought about running for president; otherwise, why are you running? Really, why are you running if you don't already have a core of solid beliefs about how things should be done?
Any voter looking at this can be forgiven for thinking either one of two things: she doesn't have many solid beliefs, she just wants to be president -- or she has solid beliefs that will anger the voters if she is honest.
I note that Bernie Sanders has no problems saying what he believes, nor does he have problems acting on what he believes. If he continues in this vein and can get actual voters to listen, he will help enormously in the pulling down of this Potemkin village our political system has become.
