Hillary is devouring Dotard Groper Don the Con on Chris Hayes

[malaise]

Brutal and delish!!

[R B Garr]

1. She is totally killing it! She is going full force, WOW.

[malaise]

3. I'm glad she's actually discussing the Russian collusion

at last

[R B Garr]

9. Me too. She is in a unique position to advance this information. I'm

glad she said that it was new, which hopefully means she's going to get to the bottom of all of it to make it all public.

[tblue37]

32. She might eventually do more for us now that she has no more f**ks to give

than she could have as a president hemmed in on all sides by a hostile, obstructionist Congress. I hate when people, especially those who are supposed to be on our side, bark and bay at her to get out of public life and shut up.

She is our elder stateswoman. We need to honor her and listen to her--and BTW, I supported Bernie in the primaries, but I like HRC, too, and enthusiastically supported her in the GE.

I do get frustrated by all the posts that bash Bernie and his supporters. Most of us, especially here on DU, are Hillary's supporters, too. We just lean a bit further left than she felt safe leaning in public.

Frankly, I believe her core beliefs are as leftist as his are, but that for various reasons--including the fact that RW propaganda has convinced the US public that they are not as left-leaning on the issues as they actually are, as well as the fact that she is a woman and therefore felt constrained to present herself as tougher and more "centrist" than she really is--she has not publicly espoused outright socialism by name as Bernie has.

I never really thought Bernie would win the nomination, but I would have been satisfied no matter whether he, Hillary, or O'Malley had been nominated. I was delighted, though, that by running he pushed the conversation, the party, and the party platform back toward New Deal democratic socialism.

I was also delighted that by becoming so popular, especially with independents and among the young, he helped remove the stigma that socialism has been so successfully branded with by RW propaganda since the end of WWII.

I bet Hillary herself, even though she still feels frustrated that he kept running (which, BTW, he did to maximize his and his supporters' visibility and influence at the convention, on the party platform, and after the GE regardless of who won) is glad to be able to espouse more socialist positions than she could safely espouse before the 2016 campaign.

Those who know her well have often said that she was more left-leaning than Bill, though she recognized that she had to present as "centrist" because of the US public's ignorance about and prejudice against anything labeled as leftist or socialist.

35. Thanks! You hit the nail on the head with this, particularly with the bit

about many of us leaning further left than she felt comfortable leaning in public. That is something that all of us on the left need to recognize for what it is and treat accordingly for the good of our collective aim. Like you, I may vote as far left as possible in the primaries, but I'm still going to do the same in the general, whether it could have been someone farther left or not.

It may take a while, but mark my words, we are going to eventually learn that the Russian interference played just as big a role in left-leaning voters refusing to vote for Hillary as it did in right-leaning voters refusing to vote against Trump.

[Hortensis]

41. Hill basically agrees with that last. But regarding RIGHT NOW, Russian agents

are still pushing the same buttons with bots and trolls infiltrating all media, including social of course, to push wedge issues. Right here, right now.

2018 is coming up fast and battles are raging for our votes everywhere public issues are discussed. France closed down 50,000 troller addresses in advance of its last election, and the U.S. is far larger. Those few hundred Facebook admitted to are nothing to what's out there.

[R B Garr]

40. Nice post! I wish more of the Bernie primary voters could

take a page from your book of thoughtful and constructive analysis. But your wonderful post just confirms my suspicions even more that a very small group who continue to force Bernie never did vote for Hillary--a couple openly admit they wrote in Bernie's name and/or post at that other site that openly criticizes Democrats in such a juvenile manner. Irrational and destructive Hillary haters are why we are here. Support Democrats.

Thanks for your thoughtful post. I agree about Hillary not giving a f**k anymore and that being ultimately helpful. I really do think she's motivated to get to the bottom of this Russia deal. She also mentioned voter suppression. Everything she talked about last night and recently are urgent matters. She should never be told to be quiet, you are right.

[guillaumeb]

2. That would require a really large appetite for............

whatever Trump is filled with.

[Hekate]

4. She has found her voice & gets better & BETTER. I am with HER, come what may.

"If it quacks like a duck..."

[malaise]

7. She has found her voice

Yes!

[brer cat]

25. ++++

Still with her.

[riversedge]

5. Listening. Intelligent conversation is a treat.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. I find her hard to watch

I find her so because she is SO MUCH the person who should be president now and isn't.

That makes me feel terrible.

[riversedge]

10. The first few interviews I felt that way, Now, I just try to learn from listening.

[peggysue2]

8. Listening to her now

She is, indeed, killing it. The Orange Emperor will not be amused.

[riversedge]

12. Hillary just said she does not think Donald knows what is actually in the health care bill. wait fo

another Crocked Hillary tweet--or two or three....

[malaise]

16. He knows nothing about anything

add QED

[peggysue2]

37. Yes.

He will no doubt lash out. And Hillary Clinton will be no less correct. The 'who knew Healthcare was so complicated' genius has no idea what's in the bill. Worse, he has no curiosity to familiarize himself with healthcare or anything else. Because he doesn't care; he just wants applause, admiration and constant attention.?

But we knew that, right?

I thought GW was a dullard. Wrong! Hands down Trump takes the dullard category to a whole new level.

As for Hillary Clinton? She was on tonight. What an opportunity we missed. Still makes me furious.

[Volaris]

14. Oh, well FUCK what he thinks at this point lol

[nolabear]

11. Every time we get to hear what a real leader would do.

Instead of...whatever that thing is.

[Volaris]

17. She should take the next 6 months and initiate a British-style Shadow Government

Would anything goad that Orange motherfucker into a complete meltdown FASTER LOL?

at this point, he should be Fucked With on general principal.

[nolabear]

21. I know. And I'll bet she'd get some shadow support.

He's like a dog being plagued by bees right now. I approve.

[malaise]

20. That's Stinky's point

It's just nice to watch an articulate human being discuss serious issues

[nolabear]

22. Yep. It's amazing, both to hear and to be amazed.

[riversedge]

13. She says she follows the trumpRussia saga closely because it is

a threat to our democracy.

[ailsagirl]

19. A very real threat

Makes my blood run cold

[Satch59]

15. Really good conversation...Chris Hayes is good...

Not just about her book, she really is taking it to Trump: he knows what he's doing in appealing to low of the low... Not talking about Puerto Rico, not even his top cabinet/advisors is obvious...basically don't care...

I want her co hosting MSNBC the day Trump leaves/resigns/gets impeached...

[malaise]

18. She's exposing him as a complete buffoon

He has no fucking idea about anything and neither does his base - Go Hillary

[Blaukraut]

23. She makes me like her more every time I watch her!

We really lost out on what would have been a great President. Thankfully she has decided to NOT go away and shut up, like so many are demanding.

[ProudLib72]

24. She's going to get indigestion!

Might give Dotard indigestion, too. I sure hope so because he's been giving us so much indigestion I think everyone on DU must have an ulcer or two.

[LonePirate]

26. Here's a clip for anyone who missed it.

Link to tweet

[PdxSean]

30. Thanks!

That was delicious!

[joshcryer]

39. Here's a longer version:

[NastyRiffraff]

27. She is pissed!

And I LOVE it. Love her, too.

[LonePirate]

31. We all need to be pissed about the lying, ignorant, traitorous bigot leading us.

[calimary]

36. She's MY President.

Oh, Dear God what we've lost. What we've SQUANDERED...

It really hurts.

[LuckyCharms]

28. I loved that interview.

I kept mentally comparing her thoughtful remarks to how Trump might respond.

[Sparkly]

29. Overtime I think I couldn't admire her any more...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. That can't be very tastey

I imagine there's a lot of bile and cholesterol.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. That just may be the best interview I've seen, so far!

[joshcryer]

38. Clinton's on fire.

Read my sig.
