Do not forget: If there is any international incident now...

...Hillary will try to capitalize on it.

Do NOT FORGET THAT, and be mentally prepared for it.

I am NOT saying that she could engineer something. I don't know that she has that kind of power, and David Brock certainly has never dabbled in that.

But this new incident at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow is on my mind as I write this.

I think the banner incident is insignificant. It's retaliation for the UK calling Putin a killer.

She by far has the most international experience to draw upon than anyone else in the Presidential race.

That includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

11. If she capitalizes on it, it's going to fool some people.

But I say we take the path of the Bern. Be sharp and malleable, with principals. Stay focused on the goal; roll with the punches without going overly defensive; and use a democratic method of getting results. The people will ultimately decide if self promotion is what they want.

Besides, she is the SOS. She deserves to hype herself to some degree. But that is what I like about Bernie. I could learn a lot from him. Very selfless.
