...apparently 90% of the reporters are (feigning) buying whatever she’s selling.

They're telling her she's avoiding the question.
Can you just say once and for all...
That's not buying it.

She recognizes the accusation...
We're not avoiding the question...
She's right, she's sidestepping the question, not avoiding it. Weak ploy.

That's chum in the water.
They're going to ask it again until
an even better question comes up
or they'll be told to stop asking by their bosses.

She has not answered the question and they all know it, as does America.

JMO, YMMV
