Think how much better off this country would be if other politicians were willing to admit when they made a mistake.

Too any of them do more damage than good by digging in their heels and refusing to admit they were wrong.

Let's see if we can discover the motivation for retracting her praise of a Former First lady so quickly:

Quote:Dana Perlman, a Los Angeles lawyer who is raising money for Clinton, said he started to get phone calls, emails and text messages rapidly after the Reagan comments.
“LGBT voters” – meaning lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender – “are a very powerful bloc,” he said. “We go out, we vote, we get engaged.”
Christine Quinn, the first openly gay speaker of the New York City Council, was among the early callers to Lowell, wondering what the campaign was going to do.
“I’m on a call figuring this out, I’ll be back in touch,” Lowell told her.
“It was all hands on deck,” said campaign spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa.

Wouldn't a "What does it matter now" answer be more appropriate?

Only if congressional hearings on AIDS prevention turned into a political circus that focused 100% on grilling Hillary about her Nancy Reagan comments instead of preventing AIDS.
