That would be an honest answer, and it would apply to absolutely any issue. Witness her kinda-sorta-but-we'll-see
reversal on the Obama trade bill - the very same trade bill she supported as Secretary of State when doing so seemed to present no barriers to her presidential ambitions:
After speaking at length about the uncertainty of what's in the deal and trade in general, Clinton was pressed for a yes-or-no answer on whether she'd vote for the package going through Congress.
"At this point, probably not," she said.
Clinton indicated last weekend she was leaning against the plan, urging Obama to work more with "allies" in Congress including House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, who helped scuttle a major vote last week. Clinton urged all sides to get the "strongest deal possible," and said there should be no deal absent that.
But Thursday's interview was the first time she said whether she'd support or oppose the plan on the table.
The position came with some caveats -- noting that the trade agenda includes several distinct elements.
After the push nearly derailed last week amid Democratic resistance, the House on Thursday approved the centerpiece measure known as Trade Promotion Authority, a bill giving the president "fast-track" authority to push trade deals through Congress. He wants this in order to ink a massive trade pact with Pacific nations known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Clinton, as secretary of state, had advocated for this deal -- repeatedly.
