I knew this would come back to bite her (no pun intended)

Have you seen Trump's new campaign ad? It features Hillary barking like a dog. What was she thinking? She's been in and around politics long enough to know that would be used, and not in a good way.

I'd post a link, but don't want to risk a hide.

If it wasn't Hillary that would be a step to getting my vote. I loved it. It was a good idea even and it would be funny if one of those dogs followed Hillary around.

The performance was screaming for use in trump's ads.
She should have known that.

It could be the set-up for the GOP, only to use the response as a hammer about sexism (dog) and irony (the ability to be strong enough to let her hair down without concern.)

If you have never run for public office, you have we no idea how tired a person can get.

It is more exhausting than being President.

To continually act in a way that is beyond parody is very tough. Remember how Quayle, VP under Reagan, got ridiculed for misspelling potatoes?

At least Hillary knows how to spell potato and potatoes, and she knows where most of the nations on the globe are located. Which is quite a bit more than can be said about Trump.

that Quayle was VP for GHW Bush, not Reagan.
Even Klondike Sarah would probably get that one right.

Just sayin...

But Nyquill has taken over my brain.

Fever at 101 this Am. And the idea of living seems too awful to consider right now. (Fifth day of sinus headache and flu.)

I'm probably not spelling Nyquill right either.

It's wrong, of course. I happen to think Clinton is a war hawk and that all her so-called experience in foreign policy is an absolute failure because she's done far, far worse than bark at problems, but to Republicans and Independents, the Dems are always "weak" on foreign policy. This fits right into their wheelhouse.

She was telling a story about a dog that would bark when it thought someone was telling a lie.

The story was dumb enough without the barking.
