She’s voluntarily committing herself?

(I didn’t look so I’m guessing that’s the 3rd or 4th post saying that.)

It’ll be guidelines on how to define conservative thinking and acting as mental illness. Not kidding.

“She has a habit of answering questions no one has asked”

Exactly. An issue that is not high in the voters minds. Hillary, what is your stand on illegal immigration?

In discussing mental illness, Hillary will introduce her new campaign slogan:

It Takes One To Know One.

It’s a nice tie in to I’m With Her.

As I’ve hinted at upthread, I can’t wait until she talks about suicide prevention.

From the comments, looks like no one actually read her proposals. Lucky none of the people here have a friend or relative with the problem.

As far as her proposals, nothing very specific, just the usual platitudes and generalizations so she can say she has a mental health program. Useless as it is.
