96. They are trusting her. And I saw that one poster said she has a history with black people. Yes, she
Sat Jul 18, 2015, 05:48 PM
Jul 2015

has a history being the wife of the "first black president" as Bill has been called. That history includes harsher sentencing for crimes that has resulted in many more black incarcerations for longer periods of time and families destroyed. Her history includes lobbying for it.

He also did "welfare reform" at a time when fathers were being be sent to jail and mothers were raising their children alone. He could not help that because it was veto proof but he could have forced them to override that veto.

I do not trust that this history will end up any different just because she says it will.
