2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: From Robert Reich's facebook page [View all]seafan
(9,387 posts)44. Actually, she "decided to run" for president in 2012 while on vacay w/ Kissingers in Dom. Republic.
She has such a difficult time with the truth.
In 2012, the Wall Street Journal, in a profile of de la Renta, wrote:
Over Christmas the Kissingers were among the close group who gathered in Punta Cana, including Barbara Walters, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Charlie Rose. "We have two house rules," says Oscar, laughing. "There can be no conversation of any substance and nothing nice about anyone."
.....
It was during this vacation (2012) that Hillary Clinton reportedly decided to run for president for the second time.
.....
When awarding herself the Kissinger seal of approval to bolster her standing as a competent diplomat and government official, Hillary Clinton has not referred to the annual hobnobbing at the de la Renta villa. So when Sanders criticized Clinton for playing the Kissinger card"not my kind of guy," he declaredwhether he realized it or not, he was hitting very close to home.

So, she was pulling in millions for her Wall Street/corporate speeches, knowing full well she was running for president.
But she's still telling us that she "hadn't yet made up her mind" when she took all of that money, so just we little people can just ignore all of that. Right, Secretary Clinton?
By the way, Hillary and Bill also cavorted with their pals, the sugar barons Pepe and Alfy Fanjul in January 2015, at the exclusive resort of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

How much money do we suppose she's accepted from the Big Sugar tycoons of Florida? She's in Miami tonight, probably taking even more.

They don't understand that her huge wins in the South reveal how weak she is elsewhere.
