Something I have noticed about our Democratic front runner and next President.... [View all]

Unlike other candidates, she doesn't stamp her feet and whine about not getting enough debates. She doesn't go on TV and rant and rave or talk at people. She listens to people and answers questions. She doesn't whine about insults, non-scandals and name calling because she knows it has been going on for over 20 years and it is par for the course. Unlike other candidates, she isn't a one trick pony who focuses on only on one issue while all the social issues are sidelined. She knows full well that economics has absolutely nothing to do with systematic racism and shithead law enforcement (see Sandra Bland). Unlike other candidates who spend all their time "talking" about the poor, she has been actively involved in a foundation that actually gets things done for the poor across the world. Unlike other candidates, she has spent years building relationships with her colleagues and peers and yet she doesn't have to ask for endorsements, they just come to her. Unlike other candidates, she has only good things to say about other Democrats and one of her greatest desires is to carry out Obama's legacy. It isn't new for Hillary to find herself being called a whore, a liar, a cheat, a third wayer, a neoliberal, Billary, and of late a druggie because she has been hearing it for over 20 years. There is no new insult, no new scandal, no new sexist meme that can touch her now. Truthfully, it can't touch her supporters either. We all know what is happening now and what will happen. And today watching MTP, I saw a woman who looked..........well, presidential.
