Bloviating, Bragging And Bullying: It Doesn’t Sound Presidential To Me!

Sen. Byron Dorgan at the Huffington Post

"SNIP.............


Aside from the ugly personal attacks on his opponents (including his former Republican opponents), his thoughtless and dangerous proclamations about reinstituting torture, expanding the number of countries who possess nuclear weapons, killing the families of ISIS fighters, weakening NATO, and much more should disqualify him from serious consideration for the presidency.

................

The fact is, her opponents have created a caricature of Hillary Clinton that bears no relationship to the person I know. Unfortunately the relentless attacks on Hillary by Republicans over the years have had an impact. And, it’s impossible to reconcile the portrait they paint of her with real Hillary Clinton.

I spent eight years working with Hillary in the U.S. Senate and I knew her long before then. I’ve observed her work up close over a long period. I’ve seen firsthand the skill and determination with which she wages the fight for the right solutions to problems. We worked together on many economic issues in the Senate and I have always admired her leadership on the fight for jobs and opportunities for American workers.

I wish everyone could know Hillary personally. They would know she has a robust sense of humor, has a relaxed and friendly way with people and is just plain fun to be around. They would also see a smart, tough, honest woman with a wealth of experience working on important issues.

steady way through this election season - with Biden, Bernie, Kaine and others on the stump - with Hillary, we will save our country from falling off the edge of sanity.....into the abyss..

the media - such as it is, continues to try and thread the needle - like the Toad just now, Trump has a substance issue and Hillary has a style issue....WTF...

Trump has No substance - he hasn't had any from the gitgo -

Hillary had to go on offense...the email shit isn't going away..what was she suppose to do - smile - as the rinse suggested...okay then rinse - "smile"
