Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton delivered a message of resilience and persistence to the Yale 2018 graduating class on Sunday.
(snip)
Clinton told the students that they have already demonstrated the character and courage that will help them navigate this tumultuous moment, and that they must continue to exhibit this resilient behavior.
Everyone gets knocked down, what matters is whether you get up and keep going, she continued. This may be hard for a group of Yale soon-to-be graduates to accept, but yes, you will make mistakes in life, you will even fail, it happens to all of us no matter how qualified and capable we are. Take it from me.
But Clinton expressed optimism about just how tough America has already proven to be.
This ability to get back up when youre down is not sufficient, however. Clinton also told the students to practice radical empathy.
Healing our country is going to take, what I call, radical empathy, she said. Even in times of great polarization, as hard as it is, this is a moment to reach across divides of race, class and politics. To try to see the world through the eyes of people very different from ourselves and to return to rational debate, to find a way to disagree without being disagreeable, to try to recapture a sense of community and common humanity.

Of course, Clinton didnt miss the opportunity to poke a little fun as well.
Noting the Yale tradition of wearing an over-the-top hat on Class Day, Clinton pulled out one of her owna Russian one.
I brought a hat too. A Russian hat, she told the crowd. I mean, if you cant beat em, join em, she said, while raising a furry black Ushanka hat for everyone to see.

The only thing our country needs right now is what I call, "radical exorcism", as in GET OFF OF THE DAMN STAGE AND GIVE UP ON THE MARATHON PITY PARTY!
First the Republicans obviously but now even the democRATS are telling her to exit stage left....immediately. As in yesterday.
This is another public reminder of just how lucky America is to have dodged the bullet in the form of this psychopath.
Can you imagine the national nightmare?
Side of beef.
This is code language for opening the border wide open and allowing the flood of third-world hordes to invade.
AND destroying evidence AND taking millions for ‘speeches’ that ordinary Americans won’t attend when those same ‘speeches’ are free.
If Yale snowflakes fall for Hillarly’s BD they’re fools ....
