13. She will probably take the same position as she did on the NY minimum wage increase

She will say she supports the right of each state to make those decisions and NY banning fracking and enacting its own minimum wage laws is the way she thinks it should work. So she can be against fracking when she's in NY and for fracking when she's in states where the majority of voters are OK with it. It used to be just the Republicans who talked favorably about states rights.

Edit: I just looked at the second video and that is exactly the position she took there (as well as in one of the town halls during the campaign). "Local communities can say no." The problem is that the oil and gas lobby can overpower most local communities.
