28. I Disagree

Wed Feb 8, 2017, 10:33 AM

Feb 2017

Although I like and respect Hillary Clinton I believe she did complain about people being mean to her. She did not complain to the level of Donald Trump, but she did point out that some did not treat her fairly. President Obama complained about how Fox News treated him, but for he most part he did not complain about being treated unfairly, or about people being mean to him. I will also say that Bernie Sanders did not complain about people being mean to him although he claimed the DNC primaries were rigged in Hillary Clinton's favor. I am not a Sanders supporter; I am just trying to call things as I see them.
