What Candidates Won’t Say: New at Reason

There’s no truth in politics.

John Stossel writes:

Catch politicians in private moments and you might hear what they really believe: Donald Trump “can do anything” to women because he’s powerful. Hillary Clinton’s “private” positions aren’t the same as her “public” ones.

In public, politicians mostly get away with spouting talking points and clamming up about questions that really matter.

When Clinton was asked if she agrees with Trump’s approach to terrorism and immigration, she confidently replied, “This is a serious challenge. We are well equipped to meet it. And we can do so in keeping with smart law enforcement, good intelligence and in concert with our values.”

That’s meaningless! Do we have “dumb” law enforcement now? Bad intelligence? What will Clinton do about it? She doesn’t say. Reporters don’t ask.
