1. I don't know how she is in politics but I used to listen to her talks on the Course in Miracles.

She was good. Once, when I had a pet die I was so devastated that I found one of her talks on death and dying and it really made me feel better

2. With no debates she stood no chance to come

across to voters. I don't know her work but I know she is popular as a support guru.

5. She was in the debates in 2020 -- and that's why she stood no chance, not then and not now.

It was a poor showing and she only came across as a wacko to most voters. It only diminished whatever standing she had before.

She should go back to wherever she came from. Whatever possessed her to think she could be an able and competent president, she should exorcise it out immediately.

6. Yes. She was all about love of humankind. I remember that from 2020.

8. Hillary Clinton was criticized for bringing up love and kindness as First Lady.

"I've been thinking for a long time about how our country needs to become kinder and all of us need to become more connected to one another" and there's a "spiritual vacuum." "

"People in politics don't normally talk this way. Neither do First Ladies. I soon discovered why." She was mocked as "Saint Hillary" and "preaching couched in the gauzy and gushy wrappings of New Age jargon." Similar to what was said about Williams!

2016: "I know it's not usual for someone running for President to say what we need more of in this country is love and kindness. But that's exactly what we need."

"'Love and kindness' became a staple for me on the campaign trail. ... I've spent many hours since the election wondering if there was more we could have done to get the message through to an angry electorate in a cynical time. There's been so much said and written about the economic hardships and life expectancies of the working-class whites who embraced Trump. But why should they be more angry and resentful than the millions of blacks and Latinos who are poorer, die younger, and have to contend every day with entrenched discrimination? ... Too many people feel alienated from each other and from any sense of belonging or purpose. Anger and resentment fill that void and can overcome everything else: tolerance, basic standards of decency, facts, and certainly the kind of practical solutions I spent the campaign offering."

9. You must have forgotten her wacko takes and disparaging of good Democrats and the Democratic brand as a whole.

I didn't.

10. Not so much love after all.

[applegrove]

11. I pretty much ignored her, you are right.

[betsuni]

7. And she interviewed poorly too.

Today I looked at her policy platform because I couldn't remember, it's all very vague. She's vague.

Her new book is released in May and I'm sure she'll be much happier doing what she's famous for.

3. Nice to hear.

4. I, too, remember her from "course in Miracles" heyday
