WRONG. She was a terrific candidate.

Highly experienced. Compassionate. Brilliant. Willing to wade into the weeds to understand an issue. Wise. Warm. Circumspect. Elegant. Grown up. Masterfully educated - and USES that education for the greater good. A track record of building consensus and reaching out across the aisle. Nobody gets voted "Most Admired Woman in the World" 20 times in a row for no reason.

It still hurts, profoundly, to know we lost a chance at a magnificent presidency. I STILL want those brains in the Oval Office. That we'll never get that perspective, that wisdom, that soaring intellect, working for us at that level - genuinely hurts. I think about that and my heart breaks for my country all over again.

I certainly do.

I fell out of love with Elizabeth Warren last year. But that’s another story.

Yep. But nobody on that side of things will get it.

This is too lyrical. Too literate. Just a little too nuanced for them to understand. Anybody remember dubya stating “I don’t do nuance”? All they can understand and function with is a blunt instrument. To match their mentality.

INDEED!!! Do NOT fall for it, Dems!

Mitch McCONnell speaks with a forked tongue.

Question about all the CONS trying to impede or interfere

or block the investigation. Like Devin Nunes and the other jerks doing their damnedest to muddy the waters and distract with wild goose chases against Hillary. Can they, too, be charged with obstruction of justice?

Not a lawyer here so I genuinely don’t know the answer.

Or they're so deep in denial that they can't even see straight.

And then again, there are those who simply don’t WANT to see straight.

Ouch.

The little local joints always have the best pizza.

That's where we go.

Buh-bye.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
