That's because Rinfret had no idea what he was talking about and was constantly asked to explain or clarify his remarks.
Hillary Clinton, in my experience, does not like being asked to explain herself. She appears to want to be accepted as is simply because she is. Has she changed sides on an issue? Don't ask.
A major talking point among her supporters in this presidential campaign is that she knows how to get things done. (The implication being that Bernie Sanders, with a lifetime in government and public service, does not.)
Well, as First Lady, she totally blew Bill's attempt at universal health care. She supported his tough anti-crime bill, which she now take pains to point out was signed by him, not her. Welfare reform? Same thing. As secretary of state, she helped Barack Obama make Libya a mess, but again, he made the decisions, she reminds us, not she. That Pacific trade bill, Madame Secretary? Barack's baby.
Which brings me back to New York state, where I still live and write, though not on a daily basis any more. Hillary Clinton served one six-year term as senator and two years of a second term. Then she quit to run for president because, well, there was a timetable to honor. (Obama messed it up. Now Bernie's trying to do the same.) But, unless I was in a blackout for eight years, I cannot think of a single major "thing" she "got done" for New Yorkers in that time.
And to this date, I'm not aware that she has ever set foot in Middletown.
