Any Schadenfreude that came from seeing Hillary defeated is largely outweighed by having had The Donald do it. I welcome any event that puts a stake through his political heart - short of putting Hillary in charge. Hi winsor, Re: I welcome any event that puts a stake through his political heart As do I. IMO he is a totally vile, evil person. Nothing would be too bad for him. Re: short of putting Hillary in charge. If it were four yrs ago, I would put her in charge. IMO she has moved on; her days in the limelight are behind. She just wrote a book with Louise Penny, State of Terror 'State of Terror' is a cautionary tale, say Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny : NPR Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you'd have a megalomaniacal black man as your president rather than a lettered female. Impressive. All I have to prove I'm not a racist is a black friend I had in school.

I'm also reasonably sure you would have chosen the German Nazi leader to compare Hilary to if not for being accused of being an example of Godwin's law. But Il Duce will just have to do for you to compare Hilary to. These statements are really quite insightful and show a lot about just who you are.

While there was a boat load of that, and most of the people that hate her are right wing and hate her for the 'propaganda' reasons, there are quite a few reasons to not like her. Not murder, Benghazi or e-mails. I didn't vote for her in 16 (voted for Bernie in the primary), and would have a hard time voting for her any time in the future (which is pretty unlikely). Rose Law, Whitewater, cattle futures, White House travel office, treatment of the military during the Clinton administration, her inclusion in policy making, her jumping into the New York Senate seat, various votes while she held that seat, that's a short list. Doesn't change the fact that she was a rather effective SecState, is a halfway decent politician (yes, that's an oxymoron), and a reasonably capable leader. She would have been a much, much MUCH better president than Trump was. But then again, so would just about anyone. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be a good pol you have to be able to get people to relate to you and like you despite policy differences. That's why Bill was able to unseat Bush. And why the younger Bush was able to beat Gore. But I do agree that she would have been "a reasonably capable leader". That is a near perfect description. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
