That’s all I’m saying. But in that moment, it ended up helping her more than hurting her. Would it have resurfaced in the general if she’d won the nomination? No way to know. But at least in the primary, it didn’t go the way of the Dean scream - which is a net positive for a candidate.

She was slammed from the right about it for sure - she gets slammed for everything from the right - but that moment moved more dems into her corner in New Hampshire. It turned the state around for her - that human moment. She did win, right after, and likely because of that.

I think, from a perspective of passing legislation, not much will likely be done (unless the math can change in congress). So it becomes about what the president can accomplish apart from that - and I myself favor Sanders since he’s not a foreign policy hawk and will certainly try to use the executive branch to…

But they don’t have to choose once set of policies from the two. They can and will reject any policies from either.

Dammit. I should have caught that. :(

Certainly if she made a habit of it, but she DID cry in 2008 and that was considered a humanizing moment that counteracted her perceived roboticism.

Subpeona is his pet name for his dick.

“Store-testing for fresher coffee” is even more perplexing than the casual misogyny.

With you for the most part, but the robotic thing doesn’t strike me as gendered - Cruz gets it a lot, too (not that there’s not an altogether different sort of dread in being given the same descriptor as Cruz). And I hear you on the concern that she’d be demonized for getting emotional, but on the other hand, getting…

He and his doctor are explicitly mentioned in the last paragraph of the article.

I’m still very interested in the story of how Trump’s doctor managed to examine all the other presidents.

Tell them the fridge is empty because the middle class has more disposable income and can afford to go out to eat.

Misogyny that doesn’t even appreciate the female form is the worst kind of misogyny.

If we wanted a president great at playing dumb, there’s a whole field of them to the right.

She’s essentially running as Obama’s third term - leaning heavily on her stint as his S.O.S. The only guy who could have run as MORE establishment was Biden.

Following the 2008 primaries, I think Hillary is more likely Gandalf the White. She fell, it looked like she was dead (politically), she came back shinier and newer, a little less trusting and a bit more likely to snap at you. Also, no fucks left to give.

The best offense is a good defense. That’s why we’re hiding these debates behind walls - to better expose them to people!

It happens. Didn’t Denzel win for Training Day while Ethan Hawke was up for supporting for the same movie despite being the protagonist?

Part of that discussion needs to be that the healthcare deducted from your paycheck is part of your compensation. If healthcare is shifted to a tax and away from something the employer provides, the employer needs to offer better compensation to offset the removal of a benefit.

Is he going to start screaming and hitting, or talking nice and appealing to better nature? Because you’re assigning two completely different approaches within the confines of three sentences.
