All the “Hillary for president” you can possibly handle
By Mark Morford on October 23, 2015 at 3:29 PM



To all the soldiers in the sad, seething army of perpetually acidic (male) conservatives who openly despise Hillary Clinton and don’t care who knows it: Rough news cycle for you, yes? You poor dears.
Indeed, your party’s latest, perhaps greatest gratuitous witch-hunt of an attempt to destroy Clinton (again, for the 8th time – or was it the 800th?) not only failed spectacularly, it quite thoroughly backfired, and now the nightmares are back and that weird genital rash still won’t go away. Thank goodness you still have Trump, right? Or, you know, perhaps not.




Conversely, if you were already a Hillary supporter, well, your estimation of her has just been fantastically validated, if not amplified, all due to her stellar, galvanizing marathon appearance at the latest Benghazi battering – AKA 11 hours of shamelessly partisan, entertainingly inept, savagely single-minded bile aimed solely at bringing Hillary, once at for all, to Republican heel. Whoops.

That Clinton calmly held her own for the entirety of the rather sickening, epic assault, during which not a single new or damning fact was uncovered, isn’t the most impressive part. It’s the other thing, how Clinton essentially showed America and the world exactly how she’ll respond – with what level of class, calm and intelligence – when she’s faced with this exact level of GOP venom and ineptitude nearly every day of her stewardship, should she become president.

In short: She’s ready for them. More than ready. Obama-level ready. She can take the “worst” the GOP has to offer – their most calculating buffoons, their nastiest pile-on tactics, their months of savage preparation, their inbred misogyny – and leverage it to her/our advantage, all without even breaking a sweat.

3. I love how with a tinge of sexism the blog post suggests that all that dislike HIllary

Are male conservatives.

16. Carly Fiorina is a flaming liberal, the same goes for Ann Coulter,

Hippies in the closet.

Megyn Kelly is actually a socialist but most people don't know that.

Sheesh, if this is the reportage on which voters will base their decisions, we really are screwed.

8. Mark is in the club ...

George never was.

9. A very strange ending to that column...

Which is to say: With class, with calm intelligence, with a bemused, wary understanding of the cruelest workings of the DC’s inbred political machinery.

She’s still far from perfect – hell, she’s a big part of that machinery herself – but once you throw in some Zen meditation and a little yoga, the truth becomes even more undeniable: This is the most powerful, badass, superhero grandma we could possibly ask for. Doubt her at your peril."

In otehr words, she's part of the problem, but that doesn't matter because she's a badass grandma?

10. It's the triumph of style over substance.

Par for the course with identity politics.
