60. Yes, it was smart for her not to answer the question as posed.

She could have condemned all the right wing protesters that marched that day, but look what happened to Hillary when she called such people deplorables.

Saying there were not "very fine people on both sides" does not make it about her. She could have avoided the deplorables trap with a simple No, followed it up with what she did say.

Regardless, l give her props for what she did say. It was spot on and powerfully delivered.

She didn't answer the question: Were there "very fine people on both sides" in Charlottesville? SunSeeker Sep 2017 #15

The answer was in there lame54 Sep 2017 #45

It is, if you think she meant that entire right wing demonstration was a terrorist act... SunSeeker Sep 2017 #61

I think, like the rest of us, she thought... lame54 Sep 2017 #62

Then she would have said "terrorist acts" not "act." SunSeeker Sep 2017 #63

We simply don't agree... lame54 Sep 2017 #65

I'm sure she knows the difference between singular and plural. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #66

You then missed her very obvious implication? LanternWaste Sep 2017 #53

No. Keep the insults to yourself. The question was about Trump's "both sides" comment. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #55

She jumped ahead because she knew the story. forgotmylogin Sep 2017 #56
