1. K&R

[niyad]

2. Spot on, as always,

[SheltieLover]

3. +1,000!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. With all due respect to Madame Secretatry.

Many of us knew the peace talks like the Paris Peace Talks were a figleaf for an American retreat with all the attendant consequences.

[relayerbob]

19. Yep

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. If you're not negotiating from a position of strength or parity you have already lost.

[LiberatedUSA]

5. She knew this.

She knew the Supreme Court was at stake.

She knew exactly what kind of individual TFG was.

Sure sounds like we would have benefited from having a President with that kind of foresight.

[padah513]

8. Absolutely

Imagine just how different the last administration would have been if it were hers. Likely still would be.

[brer cat]

6. K&R

[Hoyt]

7. Should have turned withdrawal preparation over to Clinton to make it work.

[KS Toronado]

9. Hillary would have been 100 times more effective President

than the orange one who used Putin's help to steal the election from her.

[boston bean]

10. She is pretty much always on point.

Would have made a great president. But America wanted a bloated, insane, corrupt pos.

[madville]

11. Civil War will be years down the road

If the Taliban fractures or something more evil appears. It's evident that no one there that's better than the Taliban has the will to fight them.

12. We are so stupid

We wasted all that intelligence and knowledge, because she’s a woman.☹️

[Jon King]

13. Thanks James Comey

How different things would have been had he not sent that letter about the emails.

[StevieM]

16. He dominated that election from start to finish.

From opening an investigation of her to begin with, to holding that press conference in July where he smeared her, to sending those letters right before the election.

Had it not been for Comey, HRC would have destroyed Trump.

[triron]

14. Our nation really fucked up helping Trump into office. Perhaps the worst mistake in recent history

if not the entire history of out government.

[Lonestarblue]

17. Certainly the worst mistake in my lifetime.

We will be decades recovering from Trump, primarily because Republicans are carrying on his legacy of lying, corruption, cheating, violence, and insurrection. They have seen a pathway to permanent rule through those tactics, and they are dedicated to using them all. Forget democracy—they’re only interested in their own power.

[LisaM]

20. We haven't recovered from Reagan.

This whole Afghanistan mess can be traced back to Reagan's policies.

[Javaman]

15. HRC pays attention.

anyone doing the same saw this coming.

but instead we got the orange asshole and his stupidity.

[relayerbob]

18. Um..

#1 and #2 was obvious to everyone. It was only a matter of how fast. That Trump opened the door for the Taliban to negotiate a pre-surrender by the Afghan gov't only hastened the matter. #3 - not likely any time soon. #4 is clearly a direct consequence of #1 and #2.

I love HRC, but this is just preaching to the choir

And, with Joe in office, we aren't going to be there another 20 years

[Texaswitchy]

21. The woman is brilliant.

We would be living normal lives is she had been our president.

[Blue Owl]

23. Fuck tRump and his stolen 'victory' in 2016

Let us remember that HRC got over 3 million more popular votes than Mr. Shitpants.
