Why does Hilary Clinton speak up at critical moments? Does she think she is helping?
@kendonnelly I suspect that she is invited to speak, and why shouldn't she? She got over 48% of the vote (to Trumps 46%) in 2016 and was not only the first lady for 8 years, she was also a U.S. senator and the Secretary of State. She's a hero to many. I would certainly respect her opinion, even if I didn't agree with her. I'm Canadian, but followed the 2016 US election closely, hoping Bernie would win. There were a lot of nasty rumors about Hilary, thanks in part to Russian trolls.
@REDonaldAuthor do you think she will win over any Republicans or undecided that Kamala can’t on her own?
@kendonnelly I wouldn't know, but I do know that she is highly regarded, especially among women. I used to feel the same way about her as you do, but I realized that a lot of that was because of the anti-Hillary misinformation being spread prior to the 2016 election. One of my American relatives' high opinion of her helped me recognize my own prejudice against her.
@REDonaldAuthor with respect, you are making an incorrect assumption about how I feel about her. I have no, nor have I ever had any, prejudice against her. I looked back at my question and I don’t believe I implied anything bad about her. I just asked why she is speaking up at critical times during the campaign.
@kendonnelly Sorry I misunderstood. It was your remark “Does she think she is helping?” That implied to me that you didn’t think her endorsement made a positive difference. Then someone mentioned her book tour and you responded with “Grrr.”
@REDonaldAuthor also, no need to apologise. I can see why you might have thought I was being critical of her.
@kendonnelly Easy to misunderstand or be misunderstood on social media. I'm glad we're actually on the same page!
