Hillary was guest on Rachel Maddow tonight. Fortunately, Rachel allowed Hillary to speak throughout.
It is astonishing how smart and gifted she is. She dominated one topic after another. The progressive sites right now are being flooded with one thread after another, with combination of awe and disgust. And I can fully understand it. The contrast between lowlife Trump and breathtaking Hillary is even more glaring now than in 2016.
Hillary is one of the greatest women of all time. I posted in one of the threads on the progressive sites tonight that it was difficult to watch that performance tonight without thinking that anyone who voted for Donald Trump should be jailed. That might be overboard...but just barely. There is simply no comparison between the two in terms of caliber of human being and caliber of thought process.
Right wingers were scared of Hillary and despise her. Who cares? David Brock in his landmark book "Blinded by the Right" detailed how and why the right wing base is petrified of women in positions of power. It was such a powerful trend that the right wing magazines had their sales explode when they mocked a prominent woman on the cover. Hillary as a high profile figure for a quarter century earned their fear more than any other woman. They had to invent rationale like laughable uranium stories, misrepresent Benghazi beyond any semblance of truth, and blow up the significance of her email issue, a stupid mistake but hardly as damning as countless
The fear of Hillary is only more reason to laugh at conservatives. Imagine how scared many of them are right now, while reading this simple post on a message board. Hilarious.
Hillary was easily my favorite Democratic nominee of my lifetime. Tonight was perfect evidence. She is an amazing human being and will be treated that way by history, as Donald Trump is properly described as one of the worst Anmericans of all time.
Let me guess...we'll have conservatives here ranting that they won't read my drivel. No kidding. Conservatives have run away from me all their lives. They always ran away from political debate in Las Vegas. Literally ran away. Conservatives have maybe three sentences of so-called political ammo. One those are easily parried, conservatives are hopeless to respond. They don't want to hear that 46% in 2016 was accomplished with independents and now independents have shifted away. FOX News isn't telling them that so they prefer to cover their eyes and make it go away. They want the world to be an ongoing stream of scared white males who will comfortably ignore tariffs on thousands of items because Trump tells them to do so, as a patriot. After all, Republicans cut taxes.
