They don't call em slick Willy and slick Hilly for nothing. So sad that
you are impressed with them.


My respect for Hillary rose somewhat because of how she handled
a bunch of low life, tea party, ultra right wing idiots who have spent
over $21 million tax payer dollars for political gain purposes.
If it's not illegal, it sure should be. How many times do you ask the
same question expecting a different response?

Plus, it was obvious that the 11 hour grilling was nothing short of an
attempt to wear her down and get her either blow up or say something
that would aid their goal of keeping her poll numbers down and hopefully
keep her from getting elected. This hearing had nothing to do with
Benghazi and everything to do with politics.


Hillary's testimony yesterday had nothing to do with "slickness." It had
everything to do with knowledge, preparation, temperment, and the
indisputable fact that her adversaries on the committee, and they were
adversaries, were for the most part total goofuses whose political
motivations were apparent to all but the dumbest observer.


It's rare when you and I agree especially when it comes to Hillary but I
think hell just froze over.



Well, she id fighting for her political life. She can't just say "what
difference does it make" and expect to get away with it.

I am not converting to a supporter of Hillary but credit is due when

patience and professionalism. That's what I was impressed with. I am
sure much of it comes from her lawyer training and background but it's
also a demonstration of the temperament required to be POTUS.

Trump isn't a "good talker" at all. He just makes very general
statements using language and expressions that appeal to many.
He has yet to dig deep into his proposed actions to explain how
the hell he could get away doing what he says he will do. Makes
for good media coverage and everyone cheers but he's not close to
being knowledgeable in the world of politics or diplomacy.

Carson? He couldn't spell Benghazi or point it out on a map, let alone
debate the subject.

Trump will need to take a cram course on what was going on in North
Africa and how we got to Benghazi in the first place.
There is an opportunity there but I am not sure Trump is the guy who
can exploit it.
If Hillary is going to run on her SoS record, the GOP will need people
who can actually understand the politics.
Someone like Gingrich could make her look silly but I doubt Trump can.
Harry is right that the GOP is not fielding the varsity team. These
are not even the water boys.

I think it's time for those of the Republican persuasion to face the
music and accept the fact that thanks to the Tea Party and it's
influence the GOP has fielded the most pathetic group of potential
nominees in many years.

The pendulum needs to start swinging back the other way for the GOP to
survive.
