These people seemed to regard her with an idealism that was almost cult-like.

When I saw her in person, however, it all made sense. It was at a Clinton Foundation event, as you mention. Everyone took their turn on the stage, praising everyone else, in the highest and most gracious forms you can imagine. There was an almost intoxicating sense in the room of the goodness and virtue of everyone present, with Hillary herself anchoring the swirl. It must be hard for someone who wasn't there to believe, but these people seemed to regard her with an idealism that was almost cult-like.

1. Just like the Bushies did for W.

It was sickening then, too.

2. I guess Frank didn't get the memo. We're supposed to be the cult.

Hillary has objective admirers; Sanders has cultists. Come to think of it, he never sent anyone over with Kool-Aid. Where's my damn Kool-Aid?

3. You mean like the Bernies'

[Lizzie Poppet]

4. It's the willingness to turn a blind eye to all her foibles. Classic cult behavior.
