She does seem to have a good sense of humor about herself! I love her website’s 404 page.

Right? It is just mind-boggling to me to see how the public perception of her has changed. A lot of my younger friends literally do not believe me when I tell them how she used to be viewed.
Hi fellow old person from the nineties. Isn’t it kind of nuts sometimes that the person america used to constantly complain about for being a hard left feminazi who would bring us all down with her socialism is now the person America constantly complains about for being too much like Ronald Reagan? Gawd, can this…
The thing is, Hillary actually does cool really really well...
I disagree. I’m old enough to remember when she was attacked for being too much of a radical leftist to be an acceptable First Lady, and I’ve followed her career since. I think she has to be on guard quite a bit so her charm isn’t as evident as Obama’s, but I’ve seen plenty of interviews with her where she’s warm and…
Absolutely. Hillary just cannot win.* If she’s strictly professional, she’s cold and robotic. If she loosens up, she’s pandering and faking, or, as you said, she runs the risk of being seen as exploiting her gender and being flirty or ditzy (‘ditzy’ is a charge I have actually seen leveled at her, which is absolutely…
Yea I was talking about this the other day, like when she said she’s not a natural charismatic political like Bill or president Obama. She doesn’t even have the option of being charismatic like them. If she interacted with the public like they do she would be seen as some kind of ditzy flirtatious idiot.
Right? My mother has finally admitted to my dad that she’s all about Clinton. But, he had to have known last week. It was revealed during a phone conversation where he said, “I don’t know why! I just don’t trust her! I don’t know!” and I said, “Could it be because she’s a woman?” And he said, “What? No! I just don’t…
You know, I get why the Rita Ora (who?) thing is funny, but at the same time, I feel like people just assume she’s a nobody when she actually is a bona fide pop star in the UK. (Or at least, that’s what I’m told.)
I’m for Hillary. My sister is for Bernie. She’s in California so she keeps saying that she has to have her vote. That it can’t be decided until the whole country has voted. I tell her, Fine!
WHO?
I’ve always liked Hillary, so I guess it’s not surprising that I think this, but I do think she’s held to such an unfair standard. I first saw this when a friend shared it complaining about her “pandering,” but the same person gushes over Obama’s cutesy and funny videos. It seems like quite a double standard (for the…
She’s got a strong dad-joke game. This is neither positive nor negative, it’s just what happens when you get old. Charmingly terrible jokes.
Eh. I was about to say this was close to dying from dehydration level, but I stopped to think about what we’d say if Obama did something similar and I caught myself in the sexist bubble we live in. So, thanks Hillary for the afternoon chuckle. That was funny.
I agree with everything you’ve said, and the same worries keep me up nights. I do think that Hillary has one major advantage over Trump’s Republican opponents, which is that she can flat out call him on his crazy talk. None of Trump’s primary opponents could say, “That idea is insane” because they basically held the…
I feel like I should bulk order cheddar popcorn for the debates right? So I can cackle and snack and then literally brush off that cheezy, grimy, layer of orangeness.
I heard most of this earlier on NPR and my favorite part was that the commentator talking to the host was nearly giddy as he mentioned that it appeared as though Trump was live tweeting the speech until Clinton commented again about his angry tweets “and that he’s probably writing a few right now”, and then the tweets…
I supported Bernie Sanders during the primary, but I am starting to turn towards Hillary. Trump makes George W. Bush look like a foreign policy expert. I liked Bernie’s ideas and I hope that Clinton adopts some, but I will stand with her as the next president of these United States. Whoa, that felt weird to write. But…
What I find the most disturbing about TrumpsterFire is his sheer lack of intellectual curiosity. He literally takes pride in his ignorance and figures he can bluster his way through. People voting for him are essentially going to a surgeon who's training coasted of a few games of Operation.
