I was asked to repost this here: Hillary Clinton's Career - some highlights

[Stinky The Clown]

Niyad asked me to post this. It was originally a response to a GDP post she made.

FLOTUS with the temerity to stop being just the first lady and attempt to CONTRIBUTE.

For this, the right wing hate machine set out to destroy her. Increasingly outlandish accusations were made.

She persevered.



US Senator from a state not her original home. She worked her ass off touring the state to learn everything there was to know about it. She won election and was widely praised by her constituents - including those of the R persuasion. Her fellow senators saw her as a hard worker and straight shooter and she served with their respect - including those of the R persuasion.

Throughout this period, the right wing hate machine kept the pressure on. The outlandish accusations of the past were morphed into new ones.

She persevered.



US Presidential candidate in the Democratic Party primary, she stayed competitive throughout, before losing to fellow senator, Barack Obama.

For the entirety of the primary, the right wing hate machine kept churning out their primary product: hate.

She persevered.




US Secretary of State to her former rival, Obama. Her record was, based on actual facts, stellar.

For the entirety of her tenure, the right wing hate machine was cranked up to eleven. Their new Mark II/Mod C Acme Fact Twister was placed in service during this time.

And yet, she persevered.





All of that was done while being what the haters hate - a woman acting as her own whole person.

After years - decades - of hate directed at her she continues to persevere. But as we are seeing now, all that hate spewed at her has taken a toll. Her unfavorables are undeservedly high. More disturbing still, at least to me, is how the left is vilifying her.

She will, as she has since the beginning, persevere.

1. THAT is the mark of a person being presidential!

2. Yeah, the left wing hate machine is catching up, but...

while I'm sure I won't agree with everything she does, she is the candidate with the greatest depth of experience and knowledge to do the job. And, no matter what they say, as First lady, Senator and SoS she has actually done a commendable job.

Like every president, she will take heat. Bill took ovenloads of it (sometimes maybe a little deserved) Shrub took tons of it, greatly deserved, from our side, and Obama is taking it from all sides, mostly undeserved. Hillary has been standing through it all for years and still can stand tall.

Even as President, they will never let Benghazi or the server go. Every word she utters will be trampled upon, but that's the way we are and Hillary can deal with it. I just hope it slows down from our side.

She may or may not become one of our finest presidents, but she most certainly won't be anywhere near the worst. And she won't break things.
