He had Lawrence O'Donnell on, who in typical over the top fashion really finished CC off...it was delicious fun...
Joe slobbered over Jeb: "He can beat Hillary!" But Heilemann offered a more sobering assessment...that if Hillary is portrayed as "old hat" then Jeb Bush could be considered equally "old hat." Point on the board!

(63,911 posts)Attacking her over Bill's affairs is just plain silly. And I think Joe's assessment that Jeb is more qualified is nonsense in a race with Hillary. They'll try with the Benghazi stuff, but most voters don't much care about it as an issue.

(39,370 posts)Obama showed the only way to defeat her with Dems was to offer a positive alternative. I think that holds true for the GE as well. The problem for any Republican is their party now runs on negative fuel. Anti-gay rights/women's rights/immigration rights/government, etc.

(30,247 posts)Attacking a woman over her husband's affairs is not only unfair, it's sexist and stupid as a political strategy. She was the wronged party, it makes her more likable not less so. It also pisses off many women who may not have even wanted her as a candidate.
