Thank goodness Cummings, Shiff, Duckworth, et al

did not boycott the hearing. I think their "turns" allowed her to briefly relax while they testified about the facts. I hope they return tomorrow to support her. I'm certain it felt better to her to see a handful of friendly faces.

How much I appreciate how the Dems on the committee stood united behind her. The Dems had such great "tone." Calm, yet passionate. That's a skill.

I think they will be there to back her tomorrow.

I am a Bernie supporter, but I am growing to like Hillary more lately. I diverge from many of her positions - especially economic. But I feel like we are finally starting to see the real Hillary, and I believe she is not only competent, but compassionate. She and Bill do represent the DLC - more corporate Dems than I am comfortable with - but I'm hoping she can be pulled left, and I believe she would be a President I would be proud of.

What she has been through! She's a survivor!

I love me some Bernie! Yep, the DLC thing has me bugged. But she's one tough cookie, and I think she has the mental and physical stamina to handle the presidency. She'd run circles around the Bushes in how much energy she could bring to the job.

So it counters the nonsense from the tea party folks. It was good to hear from rational people, and I think she appreciated the reprieve from the attacks. I know I did.
