Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillary Clinton Terrifies Republicans With A Presidential Performance At CNN Town Hall
Despite the hyperbolic headline, I believe that the article is essentially correct.
Republicans should be very afraid because Hillary Clinton delivered nothing less than a presidential performance at the CNN Democratic Town Hall.
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/01/25/hillary-clinton-terrifies-republicans-presidential-performance-cnn-town-hall.html
Her next question was a foreign policy question that asked where she stood on a scale from 1-10 on military intervention. She said that she thinks it is imperative to avoid military action, which should only be used as a last resort, not a first choice. Clinton repeated her promise of no American ground forces in Syria and Iraq. Speaking of Iraq, Clinton said that he has more of record of judgement than one vote on the war in Iraq. She repeated for roughly the billionth time that her vote for the Iraq war was a mistake.
...
Clinton was played Bernie Sanders America ad. She responded that she loved it. Clinton said that you in campaign poetry and govern in prose. She said we need more poetry like the Sanders ad.
Former Sec. Clinton was asked which former president inspired her most, and she answered Abraham Lincoln.
Hillary Clintons performance at the CNN Town Hall was nothing less than presidential level. Clinton was intelligent, passionate, and it was clear that there is not another candidate in this race that possesses her level of knowledge.
As with the debates, this town hall showed that the real losers are GOPers.

(297,898 posts)Excellent Hillary! We had Terrorism on 9/11.. that bush2 didn't seem to have any interest in preventing. In fact lied and used it to invade the wrong country.
Mahalo BlueMTex!

(31,849 posts)Here on DU ... O'Malley wasn't on the stage and HRC, alternated between hysteria and depressive withdrawal, while Bernie was his usual pitch perfect self, with angels punctuating his every word.

(459 posts)to somehow make her seem presidential. Guess what? Bernie was the only real presidential candidate on CNN last night. Hillary was set up by CNN, after rehearsing for hours, and giving question ahead of time, so she was ready with the answers.

(15,438 posts)These Bernie supporters don't respect boundaries. They can barely contain their disdain for everything and everyone who doesn't conform to their myopic worldview as it is, but the ugliness really comes out during election years.

(4,542 posts)CNN and the rest of 'corporate media' only have to point the camera at her to make her be and look presidential. No work required at all on their part.

(15,374 posts)we actually respect, admire and support Hillary. Surprise, surprise!
You are not welcome here unless you can say something without slinging a slur at HRC. Please go feel whatever you want to somewhere else.

(297,898 posts)With all her knowledge, experience and grace.. she's miles above her opponents.
You really look so silly with that empty "feelthebern" stuff .. there's nothing there.
Oh and the CTs.. you might want to take it down a notch.. you're not helping.

(5 posts)They give Clinton softball questions and attack Bernie about his age and call him a "socialist". He is a Democratic socialist but they don't present it that way. The Iowa Dems and corporate DNC want Hillary badly. She has little integrity at this point and poor judgement to boot. Bernie may be our last hope to save democracy from the oligarchs and corporations that control most everything now. They can rig debates and forums but it can't hide who she is and what she stands for.

(15,374 posts)candidate. But this is the Hillary Clinton Group. Playing a Bernie victim card here is not appropriate.
You have the rest of DU where you can rail against Hillary, but please, not here. We are firmly in her corner; we have very good reasons for being here, and we are for the most part lifelong Dems who have actually walked the walk instead of just talking the talk. Most importantly, we are not budging from HRC as our first choice in the primaries.
No way. No how.

(7,143 posts)Can we now safely assume that the propaganda is being catapulted from the very top?
I've never seen anything like it from the American Left - notorious for nuanced intellectual disagreements, as opposed to lockstep collectivist sloganeering. It's a bit authoritarian, neh?
BlueMTexpat
(15,374 posts)Please don't keep playing the victim card for Bernie - especially not in the HIllary Clinton Group which is where this OP has been posted.

(217 posts)However the obvious political PR blather: ".......... it was clear that there is not another candidate in this race that possesses her level of knowledge......." really sounds like adolescent (perhaps high school) hyperbole. Who wrote this crap? I would wholeheartedly support Hillary, Bernie OR Martin.........

(15,438 posts)haven't been paying attention. Good thing the majority of Democrats and Liberals have, and they'll drown out your vote in the upcoming elections.
There's a reason why the RW are supporting Bernie's campaign with dollars, tweets, and op-eds.
Unlike you, Republican strategists understand the political game and how to win it, and they know Bernie is the easiest to beat because he's failed to win the support of Blacks and Latinos - must-have demographics for any Democrat to win the election. This makes Bernie a WEAK candidate.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is a formidable opponent who can wipe the floor with each and every one of their Koch-puppet candidates.
BlueMTexpat
(15,374 posts)any one of our excellent Dem candidates. As would I.
But Hillary is MY first choice and this is the Hillary Clinton Group. It's our party here and we'll praise our candidate and those who recognize her abilities here if we want to.
If this were in GD-P, that would be one thing, which is exactly why I did not post this article there. But this group is something else. So unless you can say something kind about Hillary here, please remain silent and pass on by.

(16,104 posts)He didn't miss a beat - he was eloquent and passionate and vibrant.
Some DINO interloper pops up and offers "guns and free stuff" - and O'Malley becomes 'the third wheel.'
We'll see if Democrats come out of the wood work in Iowa and New Hampshire and get back to reality.
After Hillary - MOM is second best!

He's bright, articulate and quite accomplished
TBH no one has worked harder in Iowa than he has
I am hoping he is rewarded for his hard work at the caucuses with several delegates

But you are right, I think she gave the Republicans more to be concerned about
I've always acknowledged she is quite intelligent
Not sure why anyone would be surprised

(67 posts)I enjoyed all three democratic presidential candidates. But for me HRC was electrifying! yet she was also calm and sure. I felt proud to have such different choices from the Republican Party and proud of my choice Secretary Clinton!
New to the boards but so glad there is a spot for HRC supporters. Was reading the latest threads for a few months and found demoralizing the Bernie supporters. I like and respect their candidate but am choosing HRC!
BlueMTexpat
(15,374 posts)I also believe that MOM has every one of SBS's strengths with none of his baggage/liabilities. If HRC hadn't run, I would have been in MOM"s corner from the get-go. He was my Gov and a very good one.
The imbalance of Bernie to HRC supporters on DU is why I have taken to posting OPs and commenting much more often than I ever have. But because I believe that my candidate is being unfairly and deliberately trashed almost everywhere else, I post most OPs about HRC here rather than in GD-P, where the CDS swarm comes out in force.
If you are an HRC supporter, the HRC Group is - or supposed to be - a "safe" area. As you can see, some SBS supporters came over here to leave droppings anyway, although some may have done so without realizing that they were here. They are welcome if they can keep away from the HRC slurs. If not, NO. NOT AT ALL.
The only forum that I actually belong to is the AA Group. I am not a POC, but those persons who post there - of whatever ethnicity and whichever candidate they support - have some of the most interesting discussions on DU these days.
Ana Hauhet
(67 posts)I agree! I have been reading the DU threads for years on and off. The reason I am finally a newby is b/c I think HRC deserves to be defended and endorsed. Voting for her in the primaries. She has accomplished so much throughout her whole life! I can see why she and Bill paired up in life. They are both smart people who see the big picture. Even though they have been attacked for so long they stay calm and never hateful. We should learn from them.
Wish the Bernie people would learn from their own candidate. He also seems to be a fair person.
Will check the AA Group.
Good luck to us!
