2. Yes, she did very well indeed.

And if all the president is required to do is talk to the GOP, that would be one thing.
But looking at the issues, like war and fracking and cluster bombs and H-1B visas and the TPP and Wall Street - I am not willing to vote for someone who is in favor of those things, no matter how "presidential" they can act.

14. Number one I think you are factually incorrect

In some of the examples you cite re Hillary's position on them. Secondly, did you learn NOTHING from 2000? Third, the best of the Rs, or least tainted, who in my opinion would be Pataki, still has terrible views on issues compared to any D, even Webb (yes I know he's no longer in the race as a D.). Fourth, this is DEMOCRATIC underground. Dissension during the primaries is one thing but if you won't vote for the nominee you really belong elsewhere and I believe the moderators would agree with me.

And I base my opinion on her positions on what she has done and said over the years, not last week.
A little early for the fear-mongering loyalty pledge, too.

6. I can't feel sorry for those on this committee, they are pushing a sham and she has gained exposure.

She went through White Water and many others, those has only made her stronger. The Republicans needs to give it up, she has already testified and they have not found where she could have prevented this attack.

But I do not expect these desperate, intellectually challenged teabag wingnuts to stop. They have to be stopped by Congress. Not sure how, though.
