Something I have noticed about our Democratic front runner and next President....

Unlike other candidates, she doesn't stamp her feet and whine about not getting enough debates. She doesn't go on TV and rant and rave or talk at people. She listens to people and answers questions. She doesn't whine about insults, non-scandals and name calling because she knows it has been going on for over 20 years and it is par for the course. Unlike other candidates, she isn't a one trick pony who focuses on only on one issue while all the social issues are sidelined. She knows full well that economics has absolutely nothing to do with systematic racism and shithead law enforcement (see Sandra Bland). Unlike other candidates who spend all their time "talking" about the poor, she has been actively involved in a foundation that actually gets things done for the poor across the world. Unlike other candidates, she has spent years building relationships with her colleagues and peers and yet she doesn't have to ask for endorsements, they just come to her. Unlike other candidates, she has only good things to say about other Democrats and one of her greatest desires is to carry out Obama's legacy. It isn't new for Hillary to find herself being called a whore, a liar, a cheat, a third wayer, a neoliberal, Billary, and of late a druggie because she has been hearing it for over 20 years. There is no new insult, no new scandal, no new sexist meme that can touch her now. Truthfully, it can't touch her supporters either. We all know what is happening now and what will happen. And today watching MTP, I saw a woman who looked..........well, presidential.

It's recorded. I've been almost afraid to watch knowing what the toad would try to do to her. I'm so tired of people beating her up.

Thank you for your post. I'll watch it soon.

The only thing he's ever done is make gregory look passable.
Didn't think that was possible
A half-full bottle of Diet Pepsi is more talented and engaging than the igit running MTP

but the Clinton Foundation should be a point of great pride for our party, and a gold star on her resume. Instead we see many, including DUers, pushing the republican and msm trash-talk about the lack of transparency and ethics. It is total bs to try and put her on the defense for being part of an organization that has done so much good around the world.

She has spent a lifetime of advocating for the less fortunate and the smallest. Her work worldwide against violence against women is a testament of willingness of hard work. Wage disparity is on the top of her list. Her history has continued with the CGI, still helping others.
