She wasn't just saying she was inspired by the movie in the abstract. She name drops Lincoln in the speech itself.

Again: Hillary's go-to example of a president using both public and private power is Lincoln passing the freakin' 13th Amendment.

@CarolineSiede I wish the campaign had realised the private speech transcripts. They are interesting, insightful, and refreshingly candid

@wobbles They really should have just released all the transcripts. I really don't think they're that bad.

@CarolineSiede @PhilBl55 @wobbles Have you seen them?

@CarolineSiede I'm still not clear on what she was trying to say, though. What did Lincoln have to do with the question that was asked?

@legaleagle48 I think Trump brought up the "public vs. private" line from her speech and then she explained the context in her response.

@CarolineSiede But I still don't GET her response. What did Lincoln have to do with her explanation of the line from her speech?

@legaleagle48 The line from her speech is referencing Lincoln using both public and private power to pass the 13th Amendment.

@CarolineSiede OK, but what's her justification for doing so? Is she arguing against transparency? That's not going to convince (c)

@legaleagle48 @CarolineSiede She's saying Lincoln privately wanted to abolish slavery, but in public, for years, he advocated half-measures

@legaleagle48 @CarolineSiede It was actually a rather clever point, but she did not explain it well

@CarolineSiede @joelw_762 1. Since she hadn't released them, how was it that you got them? 2. Seems pretty convenient doesn't it.
