FACT NOT IN DISPUTE: Clinton is being attacked on both sides by men who are impugning her character nearly daily.
and she still whoopin they ass !!
She is...One...Tough...WOMAN
Getting knocked down in life is going to happen, fucking up and making bad decisions in going to happen... shit... just life and being human is going to happen.
But she's seems like the toughest out of all of them and more apt to shake the bad off and not quit. She is the one who has put in real progressive work and has the results and the diverse coalition that represents America for it...
not just being the leader of he angry, pissed off and nothing to show for it gang
Noticed this today, the two guys are total "un-nice***" towards her and she doesn't respond in kind.. not perfectly... but not the intensity and crappiness the other two aim at her with frequency.
Get it girl
*** this post was hidden cause I used another adjective to describe the two men who were attack her daily

(60,338 posts)It amazes me how much made up rhetoric there is against Hillary.
And yes, despite all this hate and lies, she is still kicking their asses.

She's tough as nails.

(1,053 posts)it just seems, comical to me. I've never figured it out. I mean, even sexism
doesn't seem to account for all of it...it's just weird.

The left has no reason to have this kind of vitriol towards her at all

(1,359 posts)The bigotry and misogyny displayed this primary has exposed a cancerous blight on progressivism in the form of white male entitlement. And like all tumors, it needs to be removed before it kills the entire patient.
White conservatives are not the only people losing their "privilege" as the Obama coalition continues its ascent into the leadership ranks of America. But we know that the louder they yell, the more progress we've actually accomplished in spite of them.

(90,347 posts)... are having a Jackie Robinson moment IE; "most things were fine (on the team) until I started sharing the showers" because they TRULY have NOT checked their attitudes towards equal rights.
SO true...this election has been very eye-opening. I shudder to think what else and who else will be unearthed/unmasked before it's over.
I think a lot of it is sexism, even though a lot of people will argue until they're blue in the face that it's not. I've heard the argument so many times that "It's not because she's a woman, it's because she's Hillary" and, "I'd be behind Elizabeth Warren if she were running." But I think it's easy for people to say that without being tested on it. This is the first time we've had a woman running for such a high office.
There's a really good article that talks about the fact that her approval rating takes a sharp dive whenever she's running for office, but once she's been elected it goes up. Interestingly, the exact same phenomena happened with Elizabeth Warren when she was running. They had the same criticisms about her (that she was dishonest, untrustworthy, etc.), but once she was in, public approval was much higher.
This is the article:

(3,284 posts)Shows you how threatened they all are by her they really go out of their way to try and smear her, and they've done it for so long.
I was just watching MSNBC and I heard Chris Matthews talking about the big Republican meeting today between Trump, Paul Ryan and other party leaders. He said they're ALL getting in line behind Trump now and their new mission is just this to destroy Hillary Clinton before November.
They're a party of Hypocrites. Bring it on!!!

There should be a "Everybody Hates Hillary" sitcom. Or a SNL skit about a sitcom called that. It could be about a girl that does food drives for the homeless and while she's delivering food random people on the street call her horrible names and say she's eating the food herself.
"How do we know you're not stealing the food to give to dictators?"
