(19,537 posts)... and have wanted to ask where candidates stand on them, and through talking about it a lot, would LIKE to push Hillary to come forward and exercise the leadership qualifications she wants to show us and tell us how she feels on these topics instead of avoiding them, so that her stances, and her explanations for stances, can be out there to help convince us she's right that it works for us if she can really make that case. i'm open for her explanations of what she feels about it, but she at first has to choose "which side are you on" as the song goes and to make judgements ultimately which this office demands of a president, sometimes VERY quickly... We aren't voting for Miss America. We are voting for president and who will best work for us there on the issues. I think Bernie wants that contest to happen, and I'm with him there, as are many here that are being called out in many cases for "attacking" Hillary.
I'm waiting for her to do her job to convince me why she's working for us. If I just "didn't like her, period", then that would be a pointless effort on her part. But I'm not saying that. I'm open to her coming out and being truthful to us so that we can make the best judgement of who should lead us. We're just trying to push her to do that, not attacking her and saying she's "doomed".
