Why Is Hillary So Silent On Keystone?

During a Q&A on Tuesday night, 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton refused to answer whether or not she supported the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Why is she so silent on this?

Mike Papantonio discusses this on The Ed Schultz Podcast.

That way it doesn't rile up the base and saves her the problem of having to take a position.

Bernie is your grass roots candidate who knows fundamental change is only possible with grass roots support of the people.

Hillary is your typical Ivy Leaguer who believes everyday people must be ruled by the eleite and the best decision can be made behind closed doors with the best interest of lobbyists in mind. And she will follow the winds of political expediency which can lead to dreadful results, such as supporting Bush & Cheney rush to war on sexed up intelligence.
