Sanders just might be the most popular politician in America

[Hortensis]

26. I recommended both Woodward and Bernstein's

books, although just one, perhaps Bernstein's, would do for the pre-2008 years, because their scholarship is respectable and no one need fear being seduced into liking her by either.

She's developed and grown all along, though, and those who survive Bernstein unindoctrinated might feel confident enough to expose themselves to more recent books showing who she became as she ran for U.S. senator, served as SoS, etc.

Given the large role foreign affairs will play over the next 8 years, her own "Hard Choices" is, imo, pretty close to a must and, again imo, supports Nil Desperandum's assessment. "She takes a hard line on Mr. Putin, writing that “hard men present hard choices” and “strength and resolve were the only language” that the Russian leader understood." There are real reasons Putin doesn't want her to be POTUS, and only one is contempt for women.

Knowledge is a very effective antidote to political poison. Actually learning more about her seems like it'd be a good idea even for people who haven't been soaking in anti-Hillary toxoids for decades.

Most of these books can be purchased on line for $0.01 to 3.00 + $3.99 shipping.
