25. except that she never voted on NAFTA
and has said this on the subject -

“We just can’t keep doing what we did in the twentieth century,” she told a reporter from Bloomberg, adding that we may need “a little time-out” before the enactment of any further trade deals. Accordingly, in 2005, she voted against the Central American Free Trade Agreement. Last month, she announced her opposition to the South Korean Free Trade Agreement. She has backed legislation that would impose trade sanctions on Chinese goods unless Beijing stops holding down the value of the yuan. She has even repeatedly spouted skepticism about the wisdom of NAFTA—while stopping short of blaming her husband for its deficiencies. “NAFTA was inherited by the Clinton administration,” she informed Time magazine. “I believe in the general principles it represented, but what we have learned is that we have to drive a tougher bargain.”

She did say she was wrong on the IWR vote, something along the lines of - "if I knew then what I know now, I never would have voted for it".


wrong economics ????????

The Clinton economy was the longest lasting economic expansion in our history, an expansion that benefited all levels of society, not just the wealthy, unlike Republican economies. The numbers are there, I've posted them elsewhere in this thread.

Your third point - about her personality... have you met her? Or are you just repeating the Republican spin? You know, the same sort of spin they tag every Democratic candidate with...
