Making it to the White House will shift prejudices not only in America, but far beyond.
Hillary Clinton was on my mind even before word came of the death of Mario Cuomo. The former governor of New York will be remembered by those who have long forgotten, or never knew, his record running that state chiefly for his oratory and his knack for an enduring phrase. Eight minutes spent on YouTube watching his 1984 rebuttal of Ronald Reagan’s depiction of the US as a “shining city on a hill” will not be wasted. It was Cuomo who memorably told us: “You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose.” Still, the Cuomo quotation that lodges in my mind is one that is barely known.
He didn’t say it publicly. Indeed I heard it secondhand, from his former speechwriter Peter Quinn. He was recalling the 1988 presidential campaign, which Cuomo had famously decided to sit out. The governor was watching the television debate between George Bush the elder and the charisma-free Democrat Michael Dukakis. The turning point came when Dukakis, an opponent of the death penalty, was asked how he would feel if his wife were raped and murdered: would he oppose capital punishment even then? Dukakis gave a bloodless, policy wonk’s answer – and Cuomo was incensed.
He turned to his aides and delivered the response Dukakis should have given. “How dare you speak about my wife in that way? You should be ashamed of yourself for dishonouring her like that. But I tell you this. If I caught the man who did those things to my wife, I’d grab him by the neck, rip out his throat and tear him limb from limb.”(continued)

“old woman” won’t be an insult it will be an accurate description of her
I totally agree.
You shall not be permitted to use the word witch so long as Hillary is president.
It sure sounds like an insult to me. I’m not sure the old bag is even going to run.
How about ugly old hag?
It’s her turn.
Comrade Presidente?
Old woman is not an insult...it’s FACT. SHE IS AN OLD WOMAN, and now looks like an old woman.
Pig in a pantsuit.
I’m still pushing Hillary “The Flying Buttress”.
She’s always jetting somewhere & her pantsuited butt has its own transponder code.
as the saying goes, she smells like an old woman
I have no problem with her age. I will accept her as President. As long as she answers a whole bunch of questions in vivid detail. Below just a tiny select few. “Ancient history” or “This was all dealt with in the past” are not acceptable answers.
1. What is the absolute truth about Benghazi, and will you release the witnesses who have been forbidden to speak about it? (And please tell America why you lied to everyone and said it was because of that video.)
2. Will you reopen an investigation into all the evidence surrounding the very suspicious death of your dear friend Vince Foster?
3. Why do you lie about so many things that don’t matter? Chelsea jogging under the falling twin towers, you ducking sniper fire.
4. What was / is the true relationship between you and Huma Wiener?
5. Was it true when bill told Jennifer flowers that you had enjoyed more women than he had?
6. How could you have been shocked that Bill messed with Monica when you purposely sought out juanita Broadderick at the fund raiser and death gripped her hand to thank her for not going to the authorities after your husband raped her?
There are many more. If she is vetted, let’s see how long she lasts. Even with Dems.
Old woman is out?
Well, there’s always “Sea Hag”.
Crone, and a slut of others.
What about “thunder-thighs”?
She’s an effin doormat. Her DIRTPOTUS was diddling with a female intern.
Demented, wrinkled, drunken, thrombotic, cankled, dykish Marquessa de Sade.
She’ll always be the Hildabeast
I would add ugly lard ass to it.
