Abu,
when are you going to talk about this latest information from WikiLeaks (as reported in the NY Times)? Unlike Trump's sexual preferences, Hillary's views on trade, social security and supervision of financial institutions are issues that matter in our lives:
In a speech to Goldman Sachs employees the same month, Mrs. Clinton said it was an "oversimplification" to blame the global financial crisis of 2008 on the U.S. banking system.
"It was conventional wisdom," Mrs. Clinton said of the tendency to blame the banking system. "And I think that there's a lot that could have been avoided in terms of both misunderstanding and really politicizing what happened."
As she sought to burnish her image as an advocate of working America, Mrs. Clinton declared her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Mr. Obama's 12-nation trade pact, and distanced herself from Nafta, which her husband signed into law.
But in a 2013 speech to a Brazilian bank, Mrs. Clinton took a far different approach. "My dream," she said, "is a hemispheric common market, with open borders, sometime in the future."
She praised a deficit-reduction proposal from President Obama's fiscal commission that called for raising the Social Security retirement age, saying that the commission's leaders "had put forth the right framework."
Such comments could have proven devastating to Mrs. Clinton during the Democratic primary fight, when Mr. Sanders promoted himself as the enemy of Wall Street and of a rigged economic system.
