Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHillary is hitting it out of the park today.
I suspect this will turn out to have been a huge miscalculation on the part of the Republicans.
She's calm, patient, cool, collected, patient, articulate, patient, humble, patient, and Presidential.
Oh, and patient... with these absolute mental patients running this witch hunt.
They aren't even trying to pretend to appear bipartisan.

(12,377 posts)But Obama was so young and idealistic when he came into office, and Joe worked with republicans who still had some concept of how our country grew to be great. Obama didn't think that racism was rampant in our government. Joe was too much in a state of grief when he was openly mocked by Cruz during his son's funeral.
But Hillary knows. She has every scar and bruise numbered, and remember, she also knows where all their skeletons are buried.
Will this make her the president we need? I don't know. But she won't be going into it wide eyed and innocent.

(9,494 posts)so in 2020 we will be able to undo their racist gerrymandering. Who is going to do it? Who has the backbone, power and balls? I believe she is our only hope.
Wishing for Socialism is not going to get us there. We are going to have to kick ass and play at least as dirty as they do only smarter. In a knife fight....I'd pick Hillary for my side.

Walk away
(9,494 posts)And how prepared do you think he is to face it?
tavernier
(12,377 posts)He has a very clear agenda.
I actually see him more pure of heart, not that I don't think Hillary is against these policies.
Ok, I see them both wanting to fight the dragon. He thinks they can only be fought with the whole country behind him. He is educating us to this goal. (Impossible). She thinks that she can work with the billionaires and educate them toward this goal. (Impossible).
But if they could work together?

(4,302 posts)This is spectacular.
They put together something that was designed to tank Hillary and win the election and instead it's blown up in their faces in SPECTACULAR fashion.
This displayed the Republicans' ugliness, nastiness, bitterness, immaturity and foolishness and spotlighted HRC as presidential, calm, cool, collected, informed, intelligent, humble, patient and Presidential.
I feel like I just watched her win the election.

(33,688 posts)It's just that for someone with her intelligence, handling these shit-throwing idiot monkeys is a walk in the park. Not one of them has the sense doG gave any of the lower ferns.

(11,141 posts)I love Bernie but these jackass rethuglicans have likely handed her the election. Gotta admit that she is definitely a calm, cool customer and she does have the temperament to be president. Smart lady. These asshole pukes have jumped a huge fucking shark and they don't know what the fuck to do now.

They are bullies and too fucking stupid to understand plain English.

I hope the Bernsters and Millenials like her a bit more for standing up to this barrage.
