To PoC issues, but Hillary is being tone-deaf to almost half of the democratic electorate.

Really poor judgement, but hey, she seems to be really good at that.

Why would you expect anything else from her? ibegurpard Apr 2016 #1
The smart political response was not what she gave, that is what surprised me. Jackie Wilson Said Apr 2016 #3

Maybe Hillary Clinton is not tone deaf at all to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. PufPuf23 Apr 2016 #78
Yup. She could've provided a content-free political response, such as RufusTFirefly Apr 2016 #90
It was the response anyone would have expected of her. Kall Apr 2016 #32

I saw it today and certainly didn't 'like her tone'. Everytime Purveyor Apr 2016 #10
Right. Because her "tone" wasn't humble enough. pnwmom Apr 2016 #46
Your absolutely right. She sounds just like Donald Trump... eom Purveyor Apr 2016 #54
She sounds just like Bernie Sanders when he was bragging about his caucus wins. pnwmom Apr 2016 #55
bullhockey. the delegates vote on the platform hollysmom Apr 2016 #63
She will have the large majority of pledged delegates, so the platform will reflect her views. pnwmom Apr 2016 #66
delegates are not slaves they don't have to vote for everything she asks for. hollysmom Apr 2016 #75
No, they are not. But they are strongly motivated to support HER and that's why they pnwmom Apr 2016 #80

There's one thing we can probably agree on: pnwmom Apr 2016 #113

She didn't lose the chance, but I think she should work a lot harder at it. It's one thing to win, highprincipleswork Apr 2016 #18
Bernie did give an answer that was also annoying as this poster points out Jackie Wilson Said Apr 2016 #22
I hope she's got the skills to get over that annoyance, or else it's just ego getting in the way. highprincipleswork Apr 2016 #34
