Who here works as hard as Hillary Clinton?

[BainsBane]

I've been crazed with work the last few weeks, and my schedule doesn't approach hers. I took Saturday to sleep. Clinton has no such option. She's been on the campaign trail, day in, day out, for nearly a year. I'm a good bit younger than Clinton, and I couldn't begin to keep up with her schedule. Trump hasn't worked nearly as hard on this campaign as she has. So she got a bit wobbly in the heat. Big deal. She is a human being. The human body is not invincible.

1. Not I...

...she's amazing. People say, well they fly around first class all the time... I don't sit in first class, but I need 24 hours rest after one flight from LA to NY. Also, I could not give all those speeches...

2. No question about it Bains, it is gruelling

3. The panic over this is ridiculous

Would you rather have someone in office who got a bit of heat exhaustion or someone with narcissistic personality disorder and whose ego Putin plays like a violin. Easy answer.

9. The media will be making a big issue of this, and we need to get ahead of it though

4. I don't know how she does it.

We are the same age and I'm a wreck if I don't get my nap! I don't even know how she can go around in heels all day. God bless her!

5. I do..

I'm 58 and legally I'm only allowed to work 70 hours per week, and without a doubt, 70 hours is my minimum work week.

6. I've had a schedule like that for over 30 years. You end up painting yourself into a corner.

I'm in practically a different country every day for my work. Sometimes 30 days in a row without a break. I managed it pretty well when I was 28. This Jason Bourne routine is somehow more demanding now, although some things have gotten better. When the late night flight from Brussels to London gets cancelled, I no longer suffer a smoke-filled bus to the Belgian coast, a ferry over to Dover or Harwich with all cabins full, so I end up sleeping on the floor of a closed café, and then the early morning train into London. Even at age 30, that sucked. There are chunnel trains now, for example, as an option, and I am now authorized to get a decent hotel room in Brussels if I can find one.

I have had my bout with pneumonia, too. That was nearly 30 years ago (1988, to be exact), and I cancelled everything for a week to get over it. No way I was gonna continue my crazy schedule (or run for president) while fighting off an infection like that.

One thing I do have is job security. I have the schedule I have because no one else that I know of has my job skills (just like Hillary Clinton has no peers, either). But it also means that I have to bop til I drop, and sometimes even after I drop. I have been looking for a replacement for ten years. No volunteers. You REALLY have to want a job with a schedule like this. But I figure I'd rather drop with my boots on than die of boredom, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. That's the difference between her and someone like Trump. Trump is in this for the ego trip. She is in this because it's what she wants to do, and she is one of the few people qualified to do it. If elected, after his first week in office, Trump would call in Pence, tell him, "here, you do this," and go off to play golf in the Bahamas. Hillary's first week in office would probably have both her staff and reporters assigned to cover her protesting their working hours before the week was over.

7. I work 80+ hrs per week and I couldn't keep up with Hillary and I'm in my 30's. I even take naps.

8. All that traveling she does is exhausting. Heck, we just took a road trip up to

Northern California with a train trip into the Central Coast before driving farther north, and I was absolutely exhausted after a couple days of driving. I don't know how she does it. And she clearly enjoys what she is doing. That's another thing I admire about her --. her stamina and her commitment to other people. She is clearly not selfish with her time, and that is a huge asset. It takes a bout of exhaustion for her to take a needed break.

Agreed, Bains. She is an incredibly hard working and committed person with a grueling schedule. So what if she needs a day off. Everyone needs some down time.
