32. Hillary employs a similar tactic as seen in the debate

COOPER: Secretary Clinton, though, with all due respect, the question is really about political expediency. Just in July, New Hampshire, you told the crowd you'd, quote, "take a back seat to no one when it comes to progressive values."

Last month in Ohio, you said you plead guilty to, quote, "being kind of moderate and center." Do you change your political identity based on who you're talking to?

CLINTON: No. I think that, like most people that I know, I have a range of views, but they are rooted in my values and my experience. And I don't take a back seat to anyone when it comes to progressive experience and progressive commitment.

You know, when I left law school, my first job was with the Children's Defense Fund, and for all the years since, I have been focused on how we're going to un-stack the deck, and how we're gonna make it possible for more people to have the experience I had.

You know, to be able to come from a grandfather who was a factory worker, a father who was a small business person, and now asking the people of America to elect me president.


" Do you change your political identity based on who you're talking to?



And I don't take a back seat
to anyone when it comes to
progressive experience and
progressive commitment.


Unless she wants to work with republicans

CLEARLY she DOES change her
political identity based on who
she's talking to. And they cheered her!!!

She was disingenuous saying NO
she does not change based on her audience.

Then she conflated her no by invoking
"children" and "opportunity" with progressiveness.

Followed by a reference to her blue collar conservative
factory worker father.

Ops can't divide it's the actions by the players that divides all the op does is YabaDabaNoDinoNo Oct 2015 #39
Some media,& paid media,(started with fox) is an arm of the republican party. They intend to divide Sunlei Oct 2015 #88
