"Too much static, I had to recede"

Watching the second episode of the Hillary Documentary on Hulu.

Second episode at the end, she had just lost on healthcare and republicans won both houses.

This is what she said.

It made me cry. This beautiful smart wonderful woman being forced to recede. Forever forced to recede, and then still getting back up over and over.

Really just hit me.

get through the first episode without crying.

And she tells me she is shocked at how much has stayed the same despite the fact we think so much has changed.

We raised her smart.

I'll be cycling away from Netflix and to Hulu soon. Can't wait to see it.

History is going to be kind to this woman. Too bad it will be 50 years too late for those of us who know it now.

Her loss was one of our greatest national tragedies.
