When Hillary Talks About Her Work On Hillarycare....

Does that backfire on her? She was unsuccessful at that attempt. Now I give her credit for trying - but she failed.

Everytime she brings this up - the little voice in the back of my head says - she failed. I'm not so sure that that is something that helps her case. Am I being too critical here?

She knew what they were doing and told them to "cut it out" yet they still crashed the economy. It just makes her look ineffective and I'm surprised she keeps bringing it up.

it was admirable she tried. And I'm a Bernie supporter. Maybe because I'm old and remember her attempts, I see her mentioning it as a plus for her.

I agree it was pretty much a failure but it was so long ago that half the voters have already forgotten what a bust it was.

Unlike her more recent failures - like Libya, Syria, Honduras, Ukraine. This are still fresh in peoples' minds.

She tried to do a very good thing. Now she is against that same principle. It makes the weather-vane label appropriate.
