(6,670 posts)* on Democrats and on the Democratic Party. Honestly, she really didn't seem very bright to me because she relied on memorized "talking points" rather than demonstrating that she had a full understanding of the issues at hand. She couldn't speak extemporaneously on any subject without resorting to quips and sound-bites.
She was a "bumper-sticker" politician who never missed an opportunity to shit on Democrats or to let her idea of "perfection" get in the way of good/fair/decent legislation that was the result of hard work, compromise and finding common ground.
She didn't know how to GET THINGS DONE... she didn't understand the art of compromise. All she could do was to be a roadblock to ACTUAL progress for reasons of "it's not good enough". That's not progressive. Why would anyone give her the label of being "progressive" when she only tried to interfere with progress??!!
I'm glad she's gone.
