Or about how it is possible that so many Americans are ignorant of the law and the way our government works. Or maybe someone should ask her why her mother would possibly want to subject herself to this kind of crap over and over again, if she wasn't doing it out of a true desire to improve her country. Questions that really matter, not how her father's scandal hurt her mother's credibility.
We're still a bit off track here , people. Regardless of what we think about Bad Billy's bedhopping; the question was do we think Chelsea's refusal to confront this question openly hurt Hillary's chances of nomination?My answer would be no. I don't think it tips the scales one way or another for Hillary. As far as Chelsea is concerned; when she was a young child; yes, the media gave her a "free pass" on question such as this. But now that she is grown up and is actively campaigning for her mother; that pass has expired. She's old enough to confront her demons. It just takes away from Chesea's credibility as a speaker-not Hillary's- that Chelsea still wants that free pass.
