Watching Hillary with Rachel.

[Laurian]

Hillary Rodham Clinton is one smart woman! She can cover any subject with intelligence and strength. I think she'd make mincemeat of Trump in a debate.

16. An absolute must see. Hold your nose and watch BS too. Or read my nose. Warning: long

I was worried that Hillary would suffer because BS was getting the last word. Instead the contrast was stunning, on style, on content, on character. And without confrontational interviewing, Rachel gets these amazing answers:
BS admits he is actively lobbying super delegates. He admits what Devine told Greg Sargent at WaPo -- that they will lobby super delegates at the convention based on hypothetical head-to-head match-ups with Reeps even if he is behind in both pledged delegates and the popular vote. (I have rotten sox over those numbers, so unvetted by the press, so untouched by the Reeps who want him to win, so little touched by Hill who needs his voters.) When Rachel put up her now famous graphic of early and massive efforts in the south, BS under-the-bused Devine on the we-didn't-win-because-we-didn't-try meme by offering yet a third version of the story: Devine must have meant they didn't spend much on TV. (Let's see that FEC report.) And the 50-state plan he beat Hill up about earlier? Well, sometimes you have to be practical with your resources. On Trump's abortion abortion, BS answers Rachel by saying any stupid remark made by Trump becomes the story of the week, but "maybe, just maybe, we might want to have a serious discussion about the serious issues facing America." Like not women's health care, and the huge economic issues control over our bodies implies. And, finally, after boasting about the zillions he's raised he admits he hasn't given anything to the down ticket. Does he foresee a time when he will, asks Rachel, mentioning that Hill has been fund-raising both for the nomination and for the Democratic Party. We'll see, sez BS. A more brilliant understated mantrap interview I have rarely seen.

And to those Bros bemoaning the probable loss of their dream candidate, a pretty ordinary lefty, risking nothing, accomplishing little, living in grumbling comfort for 25 years in the very system he decries, now shown to be compromising his uncompromising values in his desperation to shove his pointy finger down our throats, I have this to say. I wish you could get a brain unpolluted by RW and BS poop your candidate knows damn well is poop. Just for long enough to listen to Hill's part of the evening. Thoughtful, focused, real, brilliant, wildly well-informed, complex, warm. Honest. And you want radical change? She's the most extremely politically radical candidate in the history of this country -- a woman. A woman president.

18. Thank you for this!

I wasn't able to see the broadcast and your post explains it and the difference between Bernie and Hillary beautifully!

3. She's doing an awesome job!!!

may have to record the show's rerun..........makes me proud to be a supporter and donor.

[Laurian]

4. I love watching and listening to her in these one on one sessions.

No "gothchas", just a very frank discussion of positions and issues. You get a real sense of her expertise and preparedness for the office.

[leftofcool]

5. She was fantastic on every subject!

[Satch59]

6. So excellent...

My favorite answer: Rachel asked her if she would ask Obama to withdraw Garland as Supreme Court pick like Sanders would and she said no, she's uncomfortable with that line of questioning: Obama is still the President and his choice should be honored...

Well done on every issue...she's in such command and with confidence...

8. There is...

.... as far as the next leader of the free world is concerned, only one adult left in the room. Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and she will be the next president of the United States.

Again, just because I like it.

9. I love listening to her interviews.

She's really good in these one-on-one interviews and town halls. She knows her stuff and continues to prove she's the most qualified person running for President.

[DURHAM D]

10. So nice to see a Presidential candidate who

responds with such thoughtful and intelligent answers across an entire range of issues. But, she isn't gimmicky so some might be disappointed. Personally I prefer an adult.

[DesertFlower]

11. i really enjoy listening to her.

she's so intelligent about so many things.

[DemonGoddess]

12. K&R!

Absolutely loved her response when Rachel had to chase her down regarding Trump! She was on FIRE!

[LisaM]

17. That was great and I am sure Hillary was delighted.

A beautiful moment.

[CalvinballPro]

13. Damn my local-only cable package! lolz

I'll catch it on the torrents tomorrow. Maddow episodes are usually up within 1 day. Based on what everyone is saying, it's going to be worth the wait.

[gwheezie]

14. Somebody has to do it

Hillary not only is brilliant on issues but she doesn't avoid a fight. She's going to tear up the GOP nominee. She's absolutely correct, the GOP is exactly what trump is. Go get the bastards.

[pandr32]

15. I can't wait

It will be a whole lot of fun!

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. I agree. Her answer about the USSC nominee was perfection. We don't need to be second...

guessing the sitting president at this crucial moment. Certain Repubs are on the ropes right now, and very vulnerable, any real "Democrat" would use that vulnerability to our advantage, IMHO.

[spooky3]

20. Totally agree.

[DemonGoddess]

21. So I clamped my nose shut, and watched Sanders on the rebroadcast

Such a WORLD of difference between the two. It's funny how when he was asked about anything remotely even LOOKING like policy, that we heard the stump, the stump, and nothing but the stump.

That he dismissed any woman's valid concerns with Trump's statements on abortion earlier in the day, infuriates me.

[LisaM]

22. And screamed at her the whole time....

Worse, when he kept repeating , in that incessant way he does, "WOMEN SHOULD BE PUNISHED! WOMEN SHOULD BE PUNISHED?" it was all that I could do to shut out that stupid sex essay he wrote.

[Thinkingabout]

24. Agree on the screaming, someone should tell him people do not listen to

Shouting and screaming, we just tune out the screamer and what they are screaming is not heard.

[mcar]

25. I think she will too, Laurian

She is smart, experienced and compassionate. She has actual knowledge of governing and policy positions. Trump has none of that.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. Wow, I just watched it on msnbc.com

I had to miss it last night. Every time I see her in an interview or town hall, I'm struck again how intelligent and capable she is. She answers questions completely; her knowledge of issues is incredible.

SHALLOWNESS ALERT: I want her hair. She has great hair!
