> [@Urbanredneck](#): > > Ok, I can see people going back over every speech about her relationship with Bill and pointing out all the lies. > > But then she has such a good spin machine I’d bet odds they will turn it into something like how brave she is. I mean look how the media fawned over Bruce Jenner’s change and said how brave he was. Ok, we can all understand that you would much rather those perverts and weirdos just stayed in their closets. ---

I mean, I’m sure she must weigh more than a duck . . . menopause puts on the pounds . . . ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > I keep reading the OP’s username as Unbannedredneck. Urbanrednack actually. And I’m sure you wish I and any other non-Hillary buttkisser would be banned. Ah… free speech. But getting back to the topic a couple of incidents about Hillary really stand out to me. During Ronald Reagans funeral all the other former/current presidents and fist ladies were on stage. It was raining. Bush’s umbrella fell over and was lying on the stage. It was only Hillary who walked over, stooped down, and picked it up and gave it back to him. That showed a lot of class. Way to go Hillary. Another was when the former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was talking about his and Ronald’s relationship with their wives. The camera went to Hillary and I pretty sure I saw her head down and sobbing and Bill looked uncomfortable and I couldnt help feel sorry for her because she was probably wishing she had had such a close relationship with her husband. I dont know. Hate me if you want but I wanted to share that. ---

That’s some amazing telepathy there, Butch. You oughta be in vaudeville. ---
