The story told was that Hillary had name

recognition and more face time with Bernie before the voters would even things up.
To me it looks like the more face time Hillary has puts her further in the lead.
The debates, the Benghazi hearing, JJ dinner in IA all helped.
Now she is in NH and has a 8 point lead there. The more people get to know the real Hillary the more they like her.

I am amazed at the attempts to bring her down on this board and in the media. Her detractors will not read her biography. If they did they would see she has faced tougher attempts by tougher people and it just makes her stronger. The Benghazi committee is a good example.
Hillary feeds off of those attacks. Instead of bringing her down they boost her up.

And she needs never to do that again with Bernie.

SHe can lose voters with that typical political bullshit.

She has to understand what is making morons like Trump and Carson so popular is they are going against the traditional stuff, in a bad way of course, but so is Bernie in a good way.

So the best advice she could get is DON'T attack the Dem, at all, and simply respond to the assholes in the gop with her strength.

She should be able to use her performance in front of the fucking pricks on Benghazi for a long time.

It doesn't take much skill to fend off questions that were answered years ago. It's like guessing the end of a movie you are watching for 8th time.

But some people (myself included) don't believe she should be the democratic nominee for President.

(Obligatory Loyalty Oath: I hereby pledge to support the Democratic nominee because I certainty don't want any Republican in there...blah,blah,blah)
