Supporters of Hillary Clinton claim that her heart wasn’t into her public support for NAFTA, that she argued against the free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada as First Lady in the Bill Clinton White House. In politics, however, secretly doesn’t count.

Implausible deniability … .

Let her release the transcripts of the alleged discussions regarding NAFTA.
You know, Generalisssima, like the transcripts of Sanders’s speeches to predatory bankers.
Secretly, Hillary believes that the glyphosate in GMO’s is hazardous to your health (and serves only organic), but she publicly supports Monsanto because of the money motive.
To paraphrase another great lady philanthropist (Leona Helmsley) “Only the little people eat glyphosate”
What’s Osama doing in the ocean? We know from Seymour Hersh that he’s in the mountains.
Good point. And Mr Rall already did a cartoon summarising the Hersh article.
Trump is a loose canon. We have no idea what he’ll really do (Prof Krugman is sure he’ll slash taxes on the rich and slash the safety net for the poor, but he’s said BOTH that he’ll do just that, and also that he’ll do the opposite, so which is it?).
Hillary is a well aimed battery. She’s promised to remove the evil Syrian dictator as soon as she’s elected. Putin has threatened that he will defend the legitimate government of Syria, but he’d better meekly back down, since President Clinton intends to prove that a woman is much tougher than the wimp Obama, or the Bushes, or Bill or Harry.
Any rational person’s first choice would be that one-way trip to Mars.
> so which is it?
I know! I know!
He’s a rich man, he has nothing but contempt for the poor, and he has no scruples whatsoever when it comes to keeping money he’s fleeced from those who foolishly trusted him.
So, obviously once he’s in the White House he’ll increase his own taxes in order to help out the losers.
No wonder Ms Clinton maintained her own server – no doubt those emails would have shown her secret support for «democratic socialist» positions far to the left of anything Mr Sanders has ever dreamed of. Why she might even have secretly supported closing those hundreds of US military bases abroad and devoting the thousands of millions of USD saved to single-payer healthcare for all and renewing a decaying infrastructure, etc, etc !…
