Hillary Clinton apologized on Monday for saying in March that she would put coal miners and coal companies out of business as part of a transition to alternative energy sources.
The Democratic front-runner and former secretary of state called the prior remark a misstatement as she campaigned in Kentucky, ahead of the states Democratic primary on May 17, CBS News reported. The small group discussion took place in what was once one of the countrys top coal producing counties, as protesters gathered outside.
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.

Will she apologize to Bill for calling him out as a ‘man who has been off the reservation’?

You’re right - that’s what it shows. Democrats are so insulting to traditional Americans.

Hillary might have gone to far... just that flat-out arrogance of casually being willing to destroy the jobs of thousands of people might have crossed the line.
Have you noticed how the butt boys in the MSM are doing everything they can do to get her ‘apology’ out to the public?
The ‘press’ has done their pivot to the general election. They'll be all in for Hillary from this point forward. MSNBC has gone back to horrible.

When Bernie ‘chose’ not to run with the ‘America’ ad (Simon and Garfunkel) I knew the fix was in. That's easily in the top five of all political ads of all time...
Now we know: Bernie's ‘job’ is to add excitement to Hillary's dreadful campaign.
Still, the last laugh might be on Hillary... Obama’s not on board with her in any way that's obvious.

It's not that Bernie's corrupt - cause he's not... it seems they've got something on him or they've promised him total consideration of his ideas at the convention. Still, the last laugh might be on Hillary... Obama’s not on board with her in any way.I

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS NEVER IN PLAY DURING THIS ELECTION CYCLE ! ! !
Really ... the 'debates' were more of a joke than the pubbies, and the two candidates may as well be wearing Mao jackets with a hammer and sickle patch kneeling on prayer rugs instead of in front of podiums
This has always been a Republican presidency to win

If her Thighness suddenly supports the coal industry it means they just donated a trainload of money to the Xlinton Foundation.

To say "the fix is in" implies there is a race ... there is no race
Yes, I was replying to you ... not critically ... just commentingly.

You’re right knarf - the ‘race’ was illusion from the start... I missed your point the first time - thanks for clearing that us.
