handsomeharry, was that orgasm of extra spaces and exclamation points really necessary? It didn’t add anything to your post.
Great, except that I was asking about the primaries, when the far left is less marginalized. You may have noticed that it’s not just the far left who have problems with this whole Iraq thing. Democrats were more likely to diprove of the war in the first place, so Democratic politicians who supported it will have a larger handicap to overcome. And yeah, I said answers. This is the most controversial issue in the country right now, and obviously it will be to Hillary’s detriment if she can’t figure out how to deal with it. I’ve already explained why I think that is. Do you have anything other than this?
Damn, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long time. Can’t we just criticize her for her actual faults instead of blowing them way out of proportion?
Pardon me, but haven’t most of our presidents fit that profile? You just don’t get that far if you aren’t “Ambitious” and “Dominant,” and “pathological narcissism helps” a lot!
Is there any reason to believe that HRC exhibits any of the specifically maladaptive characteristics of ambition or dominance?
So she’s confident, ambitious and conscientious? And the problem with that is…?
Incidentally, pathological narcissism and pathologically authoritarian aggression are two of the primary personality traits of the current president…along with the low IQ and the religious fanatacism.
Hillary gets a bad rap for having more ambition as First Lady than many people want to see in their First Ladies. I don’t particularly care for her politics, but she’s this whole “authoritarian” thing is way over the top.
BTW, the thread title should say, “a frontrunner among the Democratic candidates.” “Frontrunner for” paints an image of her being assigned to walk point and take the first hit.
I’ve known a lot of people with above-average IQs. Most of them – not quite all, but certainly most – are capable of expressing thoughts clearly in complete, grammatical sentences.
I mean, beyond John Mace’s point about how bizarre it is to expect a cabinet member to publicly disagree with the President, it just shows a lack of basic understanding about how one behaves in a hierarchical organization.
You disagree with your boss in private, never in public. If you advice is disregarded, and it’s an issue you feel strongly about, you resign.
Shall we do the whole SAT thing again? How about the pilots’ exam-- shall we do that again, too? Christ almighty, how some people refuse to accept facts that conflict with their preconceived ideas.
An article that reinforces the fact that Clinton is radioactive. This is exactly the feelings of Democrats where I live (Colorado). If she is nominated, the Democrats lose, big time.
No prizes for guessing which presidential front-runner drew these remarks in focus groups.
But these weren’t Republicans talking about Hillary Clinton. They weren’t even independents.
These were ordinary, grass-roots Democrats. People who identified themselves as “likely” voters in the pivotal state’s Democratic primary. And, behind closed doors, this is what nearly half of them are saying. *
