I want her to win. But she is not presenting well on The Daily Show which is a friendly venu. She will not lighten up. I hope she does better on the campaign trail.

She is honest and that is refreshing.

I want her passionate. I want her breathing fire, goddam it!
This is about the future of our country, not looking cool on TV.
We can all lighten up when we're sure the country will survive.

(11,641 posts)That counts big time when people actually hear the numbers and percentages spent by the government on programs. I learned in quick form from this interview that compared to Europe and China we are spending squat on our infrastructure.

I don't want her to "lighten up." She's running against a frigging naked lightweight. We face serious issues ahead--we don't need a smiling stumblebum in a barn coat and a crappy truck to make us feel special.

(6,238 posts)She wasn't at all like an average politician, she was honest and passionate. Jon joked about her not wavering on picking a football team, but he highlighted an important point. She isn't a normal politician and I'm glad of it. Maybe once she's done in Massachusetts, she'll make a fun for the WH.

(12,132 posts)I came away with the completely opposite impression.
Through DU I've been hearing great things about her but this was also my first time actually seeing her interviewed and all I could think was "HELL YEAH!"
I look forward to someday voting for her for president.

(24,979 posts)Passionate, intense, true, informed, nuanced, not willing to dumb down, strong, caring.
I was actually thinking this: damn sexism! Because it's obvious that in the reigning culture she reads as too caring and agitated, which can be allowed in a Senator from Massachusetts but lacks the brutish simplemindedness and insensitivity required of executive "leaders."
