Related: About this forumQuestion re: AIDS comment - was Hillary speaking from prepared notes?
Or did she just get up and wing it?
Perhaps she is is easily confused as her aides said she was after the head injury thing?

You do not need a medical degree to figure out ones state of mind. You would need one to figure out what is causing it.
Come on don't try to use the old
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'Confused' is.

(2,074 posts)Huma's email had to do with the concussion. That's a long time ago.
Hillary's statement was obviously incorrect, but to call it a lie would be silly - even if you have no trust in her, it would make no sense, since she would have nothing to gain from it. I think it's simply a combination of her vague recollection of the fact that Nancy Reagan did later (when it was already too late) start to make some supportive noises, and Hillary's exhaustion. I don't know how she and Bernie keep up this pace. Neither of them are young.
