35. IMO, Team Hill set the ball for her with BLM all those months ago

They set the terms of engagement, and Hillary was set up to go second in the attempt to show her as the better candidate for AAs. I'm sure it was intended to be a knockout punch ling before Iowa.

She fumbled it. Twice. Now a third time. She can't help it though- she really doesn't care about all of this, or the people involved. All she's radiating is "Yeah, yeah, yeah...get we skip over this to when I'm in the office and don't have to deal with you "people"?

The rest of Team Hill has to be ripping their hair out in frustration. They set everything up for her just to have to do damage control everywhere.
