Hillary: I Want to Believe (That I Can Avoid Difficult Questions)
Hillary Clinton spoke at an event in Boulder, Colorado earlier today, where she happily responded to a question about aliens from outer space. Are they real? Sure! What are their elections like? Some things are best left unknown.
Hillary Clinton believes in aliens, says she doesn't know "what they do on some of those distant planets to elect their leaders." #Area51

When later prompted for a comment about an issue that a) actually matters and b) has been dominating today’s news cycle (Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian warplane), Hillary had this to say:
Tried to ask Hillary Clinton about Turkey shooting down a Russian jet. No comment from the 2016 candidate. cc: @KThomasDC

Which is to say, she had absolutely nothing to say at all. Now who has another question about aliens?
