I was asked to repost this here: Hillary Clinton's Career - some highlights [View all]

[Stinky The Clown]

Niyad asked me to post this. It was originally a response to a GDP post she made.

FLOTUS with the temerity to stop being just the first lady and attempt to CONTRIBUTE.

For this, the right wing hate machine set out to destroy her. Increasingly outlandish accusations were made.

She persevered.



US Senator from a state not her original home. She worked her ass off touring the state to learn everything there was to know about it. She won election and was widely praised by her constituents - including those of the R persuasion. Her fellow senators saw her as a hard worker and straight shooter and she served with their respect - including those of the R persuasion.

Throughout this period, the right wing hate machine kept the pressure on. The outlandish accusations of the past were morphed into new ones.

She persevered.



US Presidential candidate in the Democratic Party primary, she stayed competitive throughout, before losing to fellow senator, Barack Obama.

For the entirety of the primary, the right wing hate machine kept churning out their primary product: hate.

She persevered.




US Secretary of State to her former rival, Obama. Her record was, based on actual facts, stellar.

For the entirety of her tenure, the right wing hate machine was cranked up to eleven. Their new Mark II/Mod C Acme Fact Twister was placed in service during this time.

And yet, she persevered.





All of that was done while being what the haters hate - a woman acting as her own whole person.

After years - decades - of hate directed at her she continues to persevere. But as we are seeing now, all that hate spewed at her has taken a toll. Her unfavorables are undeservedly high. More disturbing still, at least to me, is how the left is vilifying her.

She will, as she has since the beginning, persevere.
