Why Is Hillary Clinton So Widely Loved?
The Atlantic ^

Posted on 11/03/2016 3:50:07 PM PDT by TigerClaws

We do not see, often enough, the people who love Hillary Clinton, who support her because of her qualifications rather than because of her unqualified opponent, who empathize with her. Yet millions of Americans, women and men, love her intelligence, her industriousness, her grit; they feel loyal to her, they will vote with enthusiasm for her.

Human beings change as they grow, but a person’s history speaks to who she is. There are millions who admire the tapestry of Hillary Clinton’s past: the first-ever student commencement speaker at Wellesley speaking boldly about making the impossible possible, the Yale law student interested in the rights of migrant farmworkers, the lawyer working with the Children’s Defense Fund, the first lady trying to make health care accessible for all Americans.

At least Nixon was a patriot and had foreign policy sense. I never wanted him to resign in the first place.

She is the smartest and most admired woman in the world and she wants to be my champion!!!!

The “experts” have told me this for years now.

“Why am I not up 50 points!?”

Blaaaaaaaaap!!!

This really IS the best election ever, except for the nausea.

People fear her while pretending to love her.

She’s projected an image as a pseudo-savior.

Maybe this poor benighted soul is one who is catching this image. I find it hard to be directly angry at the writer, but I am plenty angry about the writer’s ignorance.

Because she rewards and protects foulness, and half the population is sh!t.

Guess which half.

Wow! So if she is so loved, why are there hardly anyone at her rallies? Intelligent? Then why was her time as Sec. of State a disaster? Why so many security breaches, etc.
Plus she is just plain evil. Not just flawed, not just bad: evil.

It’s kind of a Psalm 73 situation. She’s ladling out the Kool-Aid. Not everybody who gulps it down has equal responsibility, but there is a large crowd that gulps it down, and the first gulp intoxicates to where subsequent gulps do not even taste bitter.

Donald has come along to attempt to deliver an antidote. It looks like he’s in a rather competitive position right now.

She’s in marked enough evil to be notable even in this generation. In some other hypothetical generation? She might not even be notable.

I think the writer may be sincere. Sincerely in illusion, but sincere.

Wasn't there a major poll released just the other day that rated DJT as being more honest that the Former Twelfth Lady?

Widely loved indeed!
