All she did was make a bunch of 6yo petulant children look like 6yo petulant children. George Freaking Bush could make that bunch look silly.

Why people feel her making a bunch of babbling idiots look bad is such a good sign is beyond me. Especially when you consider how damn dumb that bunch really is.

...arguing with politicians that probably aren't able to answer GED history questions is nothing to be proud of...

Does she want a medal for that? I think so. How about an "effort most improvement" ribbon?

I'm not caucusing for her, but I am willing to support things that she does well.

but I wouldn't use that event as a gauge for how she'd handle anything related to the Presidency. Especially not as it concerns leadership.

My grandkid's kindergarten teacher does a heck of a job but that doesn't qualify her to lead anything outside of a classroom. Handling a bunch of morons in a hearing is a far cry from handling anything of importance. Especially like a nation with 340 million people. Thanks.

never be about her so now she's going to take the helm and set the heading. Desperation.

Hillary keeps bursting her own balloon. She's blown her campaign out of the water several times: she used to do it on a monthly basis, but since Thanksgiving she's escalated to weekly, and just this week, every other day.

Hence the general consensus of panic in the camp by outside observers.

Hillary already endured her Apollo 13 campaign, limped home and carried on. This one is looking more like Challenger. There's no coming back this time.

Chelsea is definitely turning into the Democratic and Clinton version of Jeb! and she has only herself and her family to thank for the abrupt end of her political career.

Great article.

She really said McCain would make a better Commander in Chief than Obama in the 2008 primaries?

I don't remember that.
