18. She's soooooo unpopular. She reeeeeeally needs to stfu. Amirite?

I love Hillary, that gutsy woman.

[NurseJackie]

19. Thank god she didn't wait "EIGHT OR TWELVE YEARS" (as someone suggested she should have done)...

... to tell her entire story, everything... nothing off-limits... nothing forbidden... nothing redacted... nothing self-censored. She just puts it all out there. The truth from top to bottom. She's as honest about HERSELF as she is about others. What's wrong with that? What good purpose does it serve for ANYONE to try and virtually censor her? Why are some "progressives" still trying to denigrate her words and question her motives? Such disrespect!

I love Hillary, that gutsy woman.

So do I! So do I! She's amazing and I'm STILL WITH HER!!
