60. Oh, please. She has in fact often shown up in flats without drawing a word of criticism. Sorry you

missed all those times. Absolutely nothing is wrong with a stylish flat. And wearing flat, Hillary looks as though moving is an effort for her. BTW, if low kitten heels destabilize her, the problem is not the shoe.

As a woman who has seen and suffered actual gender based discrimination/harassment and who has also served on hiring committees, I am telling you, this constant pulling of the victim card for every lame reason to help Hillary hurts women in general and therefore ticks me.

As far as the video, I've taken trains and subways in NYC and Boston at all hours and have indeed seen them that sparsely populated, even emptier. And the train was obviously about to pull out out, so common sense says most people were already in the train or on the platform. Funny how you will assume some things from what your eyes tell you but not others.

Besides which, if the issue is health, what does it matter if it was staged? Clearly, Sanders is the one running, not a stunt double.

As far as not having said it was accomplishment, no, you did not use that word, but you sure posted as though it was an achievement that Bernie would have trouble matching.
