Hillary Clinton being a boss

History will look at Hillary Clinton as someone who never gave up and continued to succeed, despite being knocked down over and over again. She will be seen as a polarizing trailblazer who finally found her voice leading to eventual success as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State.
Once in positions of power, Hillary is ruthless when it comes to effectively advocating for her positions and destroying the opposition. This is why Republicans have fought (and failed) to stop her political career from climbing to new heights.
Hillary's resilience is unparalleled. She bounces back in the face of defeat because she's smart, articulate, and tough.
Many of Hillary's colleagues have often noted that she is almost always the most knowledgeable person in the room about any given issue. Her knowledge, persistence, and stamina is an unstoppable combination. Her perseverance, despite being attacked daily for the last 30 years, is a testament to her political skill and brilliance.
Former President Bill Clinton, the other half of this political powerhouse, often describes Hillary as the most competent person in his generation. I couldn't agree more. So although she may have been too polarizing to win the Presidency in 2008, we can all be certain that if given the opportunity, she would have been one of the most competent and successful President's in our lifetime. And I hope she is given another chance in 2016.
Hillary Clinton:
"I really don't spend a lot of time worrying about what people think about me...I would be totally paralyzed. How could you get up in the morning if you worried about some poll or what somebody said about you? That's giving up power over your life to somebody else, and I don't intend to do that."
"Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been.".....................

(16,104 posts)who called the subtle gender sexist attacks on female candidates the "wolf whistle."
The "wolf whistle" is labeling support for Hillary as merely and simply the issue of "it's time for a woman to be president" as if no other criteria existed.
In fact, the "wolf whistle" is a quick and simplistic dismissal of all the other criteria!
A couple centuries of institutional sexism embedded in our American political, economic and social systems has no merit in a presidential contest. It's sexist. (wolf whistle!)
Wendy Davis is a perfect advocate for Hillary!

And if you didn't read my post over in the GDP sewer, this is what the County Chair said about Sanders:
Walt Pregler, the 81-year-old Democratic chairman of Dubuque County, Iowa, is a party activist, a proud union member and makes it his job every presidential season to turn out Democratic caucusgoers within his region.
Hes just not going to be turning them out for Sen. Bernard Sanders.
Im a good union man, and hes a scab. Hes always been outside looking in, Mr. Pregler said, referring to Mr. Sanders, who has served in Congress as an independent, declining to identify as a Democrat a fact that irks Mr. Pregler, who has been working within the party apparatus for decades.
And.... Lena Dunham is heading to Iowa to help out Hillary. I know she's no "Killer Mike"

(16,104 posts)At around 18:45 she starts talking about the "wolf whistling"!
This Wendy Davis speech is a real eye-opener on her knowledge and take on gender-equality, women's issues and the patriarchal systems of America.
Hillary can pick 'em!
