2016 Postmortem

....better than Hillary Clinton! 11 hours those bastards grilled her today and she stood up to them and showed the world what nasty, sick little fucks the Republican Party is made up of.
Hillary was cool, calm and professional. Her memory, her intelligence and her understanding of world affairs and foreign policy is second to none.
I am so proud of her!

She's a pro at not answering questions, even if they're stupid, idiotic ones.

(2,434 posts)She knows the ropes and the rules. Of course she's a pro. Would you prefer an amateur?

(17,505 posts)Pointing out facts is not "taking a shot."
Ridiculous superlatives are much cheaper.
"There is not one person in America that can stand up to the Repukes better than Hillary Clinton!" Well the ones on the Bengazi circus anyway.
She did great of course. Suffering fools for 11 hours is not easy. But I don't think she's alone. I mean, they got nuttin' anyway. Everyone's known they're trending water for a while now. I'm sure she prepared with those lawyers we aren't supposed to notice.
She can't help it that she is smarter and has more professionalism in her little finger than any other person on that sham of a committee.....or for that matter any other candidate for President.
She has gone so far past proving herself as the best person for the job at this point that it's hysterical watching folks twist themselves into pretzels denying how good she is.
AlbertCat
(17,505 posts)Nah..... another unwarranted superlative.
Many people have more professionalism in their little finger than any other person on that sham of a committee. It's been recognized for what it is since the very beginning.
But she still gets points for endurance. Hope she might be able to keep it up for 4 to 8 years.

DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)Yes, she was incredibly well prepared, that's the point. However, she answered all the questions without consulting her lawyers. That was the gravamen of your argument that Albert deliberately ignored.

(37,364 posts)mind you, dancing backwards. People forget that part. Wearing heels and dancing backwards. A person who can do that can handle ever so much more than detractors are willing to begrudgingly credit them.

(5,954 posts)We should now contrast that to Trump having to take the day off after a lousy THREE hour debate, where he had to talk for all of 20 minutes; and how he and most of the other GOP candidates are threatening to boycott the next debate if it's longer than 90 minutes.

I'll always think Sanders' positions are the correct ones but I'm not going to have much of a problem should Hillary get the nod as is expected. I may even work for her.
I am impressed.

(42,298 posts)The disrespect, badgering and lies. But I can't see how they helped themselves at all. Except they will raise money amongst the faithful. The media is destroying them.
TrollBuster9090
(5,954 posts)all the way back from the Clinton Administration, when she testified on "Hillarycare," I've found her to be extremely impressive when she's on the other side of that table. Then, when she was a Senator, she was equally impressive at asking the questions.
That's when she's at her best! I can't believe these beanheads didn't realize that, and were actually stupid enough to think they could drive her numbers down by putting her in the witness box of a show trial. As Bugs Bunny says...what a bunch of MAROONS.

..there really is another person as well who could have stood up to this grilling: Bernie. He doesn't back down either. So, we have two fighters in the Democratic line up.

Cosmocat
(14,562 posts)when Rep Cummings opened it up for her to describe what happened that evening, and explained what actually happened.
She got choked up by the end of it, very clear it hurt her deeply.
Then, the ensuring bullshit response from Gowdy, you could VERY CLEARLY see her disdain for him and the whole proceeding.
God lover her for spending 11 hours doing the dog and pony show, but in that moment you saw how much it burns her that these jackasses have used the death of these four people for this political witch hunt.
BooScout
(10,406 posts)She knows the Republicans don't give a rat's ass about those that died. All those assholes care about is getting her anyway they can.

(47,803 posts)I won't post any vids of Sanders calmly but forcefully ripping GOPers a new one on in hearings or on the floor.
BooScout
(10,406 posts)Sanders has never been center stage before the world on live tv, being grilled by a bunch of nasty Republicans for 11 hours straight and made mincemeat of them. Hillary has.
Armstead
(47,803 posts)I was trying to behave, but you want to talk about endurance and strength? Not a grilling, but much tougher in some ways. And I'm sure he wold have held up well if it were a grilling.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/10/AR2010121005431.html
At 10:24 Friday morning, Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont took to the floor of the Senate to share a few thoughts about the tax-cut plan brokered by President Obama and Republican leaders.
Well after the sun had set and most of his colleagues had flown home, Sanders was still sharing - about taxes, bad trade deals and "the crooks on Wall Street," among many other topics. "China, China, CHINA!" he yelled at one point, stressing that the $14 trillion national debt was largely being financed by the Chinese government's decision to continue buying U.S. bonds. By early evening Sanders took to reading letters from constituents who had been hit hard by the Great Recession.
Sanders yielded at times to Democratic colleagues who wanted to speak briefly against the plan, but otherwise he held the floor until nearly 7 p.m., his thick Brooklyn-born accent filling the chamber.....
BooScout
(10,406 posts)And accomplished absolutely nothing. Nor was he asked questions or grilled by Republicans.
What a guy.
