Pretty sane response to the question. Politically, not the best response but pretty sane and honest. She could do what Bush Sr. did and make a statement like "Read my lips, no new taxes" then sign some new taxes or what his son did when he said he didn't want to do nation building during the campaign, and then set off on both destroying and rebuilding Iraq for no reason.
It's funny how you guys says that she will do anything to get elected. If that were true, she'd take the most popular position with her base and say she opposses it. Instead, she gives a level-headed response to this question and gets a silent crowd and slammed by everyone.
Politically a bad day for her; no dobut. But not a bad day otherwise.
She is in old terms FUBAR. And it WAS a bad day for her because EVERYONE running against her just got a fresh load of ammo.
Sanders may well benefit the most!
She is not FUBAR. At least her campaign is not. However, Hillary need to change her approach.
1)She must state her positions.
2)She must have the ability to convince others that she took the correct position.
1. This is easy
2. This is difficult at best. She need to learn to craft the message so that those who oppose her position are forced to reconsider their stance. Better, if it forces them to think they were wrong!
When you give BOTH sides enough to tear you apart you ARE FUBAR. Let's see 18R's plus 5D's is 23. So it's 22 to 1.
That's FUBAR.
However, it is early. And she still have a nice cushion of a lead.
If she can change tactics ASAP, then that ammo turns to rust.
Problem is, I don't think she will.(Well, I could send her campaign a letter that they might heed...

)
She is trying to play an early game of attrition that does not work in this setup. Every vote she lose, someone else gain. That is not attrition, that is suicide.
