battourye 1 day ago#1 http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/08/24/poor-hillary-intimidated-in-debates-by-big-bad-donald-trump.html Poor Hillary. Big, bad Donald Trump got so close to her during the presidential debate last fall, she says, that he “made her skin crawl.” “Morning Joe” broadcast a recording of Mrs. Clinton reading that revealing snippet aloud yesterday, her plain, hard intonations trying to excite interest in “What Happened?” her new book purporting to explain why she lost the election. The passage, which recounts her musing about how she should react to his looming presence, evokes several responses. Number one: if that’s the best tease they could find in this unnecessary oeuvre (don’t we all know why she lost?), I hope Simon & Schuster has a sure-fire way to get their advance back. The company is deep in the hole after publishing her last tome, “Hard Choices,” which sold only some 280,000 copies in its first year. For that one they reportedly ponied up an advance of $14 million; whatever they paid for this one, it was probably too much. By the way, that sales total for “Hard Choices,” a stunningly dull work, doesn’t come close to the million-plus copies sold of Trump’s “Art of the Deal;” one more round to Trump.  Number two: her recollection may be faulty. Hillary’s memory often plays tricks on her, like when she mistakenly remembered having come under sniper fire in Bosnia, or when she blamed the Benghazi attack on a video, or when she said that all her grandparents had immigrated to the U.S. (Three of four were born in this country.) The morning after the debate in question, then-candidate Trump, accused of having tried to intimidate her, denied the charge, and claimed that it was Clinton who invaded his space. The video shown on Morning Joe shows Trump standing at some distance from Hillary, not breathing down her neck, contrary to her description of the scene. He patiently waits at his lectern while she speaks. What is the truth? Number three: in the book, she says that at the time, feeling uncomfortable, she wished she could “hit pause, and say to everyone watching, well, what would you do?” That is so extraordinarily revealing. Hillary Clinton, at that moment, feeling pressured by her rival and uncertain how to respond, actually wants to take a survey. She doesn’t trust her own instincts, so turns to crowd-sourcing for answers. Maybe this book is more telling than we had imagined because, indeed, that is exactly one of the reasons Clinton lost. Remember early in the campaign when the New York Times wrote an admiring story about Hillary’s intense preparation? How she had consulted no less than 47 experts in preparing her economic agenda? I thought at the time: anyone nearing 70 and readying to run for president must surely know what she believes. But no, she was lost, and still exploring every point of view. Fools think there are good and bad guys in intl. relations.-Terran Currently Listening To: Ondore's Lies stickyreportquote

Probably not lol Also, you later posted some tripe about an imaginary boogeyman getting imaginary benefits from making claims about a system that only benefits them (if that seems convoluted, it's probably because your thought process is asinine), but you couldn't think of a single example.

JokedUp 19 hours ago#32 One of her biggest problems was that she took the high road too much. As a pascifist that's a weird thing to say, but I feel like if she had just went back at him a little she would have gotten a lot more respect from people. Just being the bigger person allows the other to keep being a child. Anyone who can't already see the difference, won't, so she only changed the minds of anyone who weren't sure about both of them to begin with.  The only way she would have ever swayed people from his side is to be get a little dirty while still being an adult about it. Basically, you can play the way he plays but keep your dignity doing it and then with both those examples on stage they'll see the extra layer of petulance in him and how unnecessary it is. At least that's how would do it. Be a bigger, smarter, more sarcastic yet respectful dickhead.

atmasabr 18 hours ago#34 When I saw this story I was like "ugh." Women need to learn not to expose weakness like that. But if I said that openly at work I'd be reprimanded for it. The same exact thing happened to Bush, you know (perhaps not as severely), and he wrote about it in different terms--he didn't show all his cards to the reader, he just told you the minimum you needed to know. Now Bush handled it better than Clinton did at the time. I've read praise for how Bush handled it, in a way that diminished Gore, nothing either way about how Clinton handled it. It's reasonable for her to point that out, though I think she handled it well enough that it is not relevant. Like she said, she is a pro at keeping her cool on the outside and not letting it get to her. But that is not the story here anymore. The story here is her effeminate, overdramatic display of feelings. That's a shame. For the record, I am fully aware that what I have said just now represents harsh institutional sexism. Do your own research! reportquote

I didn't expect anything else, though. then all polls are wrong Strawman. No, not all polls are wrong. Just the polls that experts spent months dissecting to see why they failed to accurately reflect reality. Kia123Amini posted... and the debate bump was fake news? I wouldn't call it fake news unless it were intentional and I don't care to speculate over the motives of the people pushing these polls. The polls did not reflect reality and the debate bumps seen in the polls did not reflect reality, either. We have President Donald Trump as evidence of that, if the legions of experts dissecting the polls to figure out where they went wrong isn't enough for you. reportquote

What would people say about her then? Hysterical. Unhinged. Emotional. A woman in politics has to be very careful how she presents herself. Donald Trump's bravado was seen as 'manly'.
