Even though I’m a Bernie supporter, if Hillary isn’t elected our next President

she sure as hell deserves to be canonized after this POINTLESS “hearing”...she has shown poise and forbearance, and clear recall of the situation as it happened. Her fierce intellect is front and center, especially as juxtaposed to the knuckle draggers who are trying to make something out of nothing.

I am writing this while I am watching pompous Pompeo trying to trip her up...and failing miserably.

If she doesn't win the primary, would she be eligible to sit on the Supreme Court? I think she'd be perfect, and it's for life

as other non ending actions by Conservatives. It does not matter that she has friends in Monsanto, Wall Street or whatever. Some think that will be helpful. Compromises lead to everything moving at a snails pace. The Climate....Wall street...poverty...education....
We need swift action on many things now. It may never happen I fear.

Second, I couldn’t tell you what happened with such clarity 6 months ago let alone 4 years ago. Thirdly, her calm cool demeanor is something I could only aspire to...but I’m a hot-headed Irish chick from the Bronx.

That she has to go over this again....ad nauseum...and has to firmly control the story the GOP is trying desperately to spin without losing her cool is a thing of beauty to behold.

Fuck these assholes. Today we’re all on Team Hillary.

FWIW, some think this'll do her more good than otherwise. She looks dignified and professional compared to her accusers.

Ultimately the thing that matters is that the GOP comes out stinking like the putrid shit they’re made of. Anything that calls such clear attention to the fact that they are unscrupulous, partisan AND stupid is a-okay in my book.

I’m still SOLIDLY a Bernista, but she was really great today. Well done!

Like your flashy Bernie thing, btw. Tammy Duckworth's now back to looking at how Congress was too cheap to supply our foreign personnel adequately. Or cutting the waste as the GOP thinks of it.

When she was reading Stevens’ email about buying fire sale items from the British. That would have been the perfect moment to say “we wouldn’t be looking for used items to protect our embassy personnel if you stupid FUCK HEADS hadn’t decided funding embassy security wasn’t as important as killing off women’s reproductive rights”.

I’m so glad Duckworth also focused on how to prevent this in future.

But then, she would not have come off as so cool and professional. I have to say she did an excellent job with this. Really puts a true face on the Republican party of clowns.

how a GOP Congress would have treated a Democrat who was President during 9/11?

We'd STILL be having 9/11 hearings.

is helping Hillary's poll numbers I believe, and I can understand why. She's comporting herself extremely well among a bunch of maniacs who bring up every conceivable angle they hope will damage her and then show that they think volume equals intelligence.

HRC is way too eager to go to war. She was a big booster of Obama's decision to join NATO in overthrowing Quaddafi... now the country is in utter chaos... the progressive base keeps getting pushed aside as our Dem leaders persist in military solutions to deep-seated tribal issues and the aftermath of our postwar foreign policy... this has to stop.
