What does this mean?
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-apologizes-for-saying-shed-put-coal-out-of-business/
Hillary Clinton apologized on Monday for saying she would put coal miners and companies "out of business" as president, calling her comment a "misstatement."
"What I said was totally out of context from what I meant," Clinton said. "It was a misstatement, because what I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs."

That's the truth. I don't know what you or anyone else here would find to be so insulting about that fact.

Geez!!
morningfog
(18,115 posts)For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is her problematic mealy mouth self-contradictory habits when campaigning.
As I said, we're invested now and have a right to criticize and push.
Have fun pissing on your fellow Democrats, better than pissing on Republicans, cuz they'd just ignore you.

(18,115 posts)You'd be a fool to give up all critical thought and willingly acquiesce to all things a candidate says or does simply because they are a Dem.

(33,224 posts)Just once Hillary - be like Bernie. Stand up for your views, even to a hostile audience.
And it was a misstatement, because what I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs. I didnt mean that we were going to do it, what I said was, that is going to happen unless we take action to try to and help and prevent it.
How can a misstatement be out of context? Whatever it is, it's not MY fault... it's you listeners, or the media or something.

(50,342 posts)She said what she said and she should have doubled down and said she wanted to create green jobs for them. Instead she veered into some garbled double speak that sounded like she's promoting "clean coal" (no such thing). Tell the people whatever they want to hear . . . that's Hillary.

Even Hillary can't tell you what Hillary agrees with at this point so how the heck would the rest of us know.

Apparently the vote for her in WV is going to be a little weaker than she thought.
