The crying and "iron my shirt" incidents
Just bizarre that these came in the final days of campaigning. I mean, has her security detail ever missed anyone like that? And the reply she had is so unlike Hillary- an actual witty comeback (so far unseen, never to be seen again). These two events just seem completely out of place in relation to the campaign as a whole. I'm not convinced they affected the outcome, but they both coincidentally fired up the same group: women. One appealing to anger, and one compassion.

I am not one to believe in conspiracies. However, this level of coincidence is very hard to swallow. Has anyone ever attacked her femininity at a rally before? With such a blatant, caveman-like insult? Has she ever cried before? Just bizarre, imo

1. Little blue is more like little brown to me.

I don't think you read what I wrote
Your reply was far too fast: by my clock less than 20 seconds after posting it.

I'm just pointing out that this coincidence was very strange. I haven't seen anything like it before. Have these types of disruptors ever gotten through her rallies before? Has she ever cried before?

4. There's no "there" there
The "iron my shirt" stunt was pulled by some talentless radio shock jocks and the emotional disclosure was just a serendipitous occurrence for her that worked well.

5. I'm just saying....
Nothing is that coincidental in politics. Everybody is going to boo me, but its just so obvious.

14. Yes she did, but you can't say these kind of stunts never happen in politics.

10. Like I said, I don't know what really happened
But those cavemen with the "iron my shirt" slogan couldn't possibly pick a more simple, inflammatory message. Can you imagine someone showing up to an Obama rally with a "lynch him" message? That to me would look staged, like this.

6. Glad she won -
but only because of the idiots who had the nerve to yell "Iron my Shirt."

I may not want her for president, but she's no dummy and shouldn't have had to put up with that moron's insults. My God, she's a lawyer and a senator.

7. Hillary's had a number of protesters at her events before.
And she's had a few good comebacks over the years - she's sharp as a tack, but I think sometimes she holds back on her initial instincts.

BTW, I believe it turned out that the protesters were radio show hosts.

11. Radio show hosts? I'm surprised they kept their jobs.

9. i think the debate helped her , people liked when she got upset
and explained herself. personally i didn't think Edwards looked good going after her like that and she came across really well.

Obama mostly seemed to play it safe which is what front runners do.

12. Morning zoo radio shows across the country are dominated by
spoiled-ass guys who grew up in a life of privilege and spew the resulting attitude every day from their pie-holes. They're all threatened by women, particularly those that they KNOW are smarter than they are, and can't do anything about it other than denigrate...

This was NOT a setup by Camp Hillary...these jackholes just wanted to make the news.
