I think the time has come for Hillary Clinton to do another interview

[malaise]

with Rachel Maddow to address the Mueller Report, the Con's character and all the non-stop accusations and investigations.

She has nothing to lose and neither does the Democratic Party.

[Aristus]

1. I wouldn't blame her though, if she wants to continue keeping a low profile.

She's had a bruising thirty years. She deserves a break...

[malaise]

2. She's already responding to the Mueller Report

Now she needs to re tear into him in prime time

[Chin music]

3. PRIME...TIME. I'm SO in tune w you on that M.

She's the true President. That's who America voted for. Lest any of us forget. She was the FIRST one conned out of her earnings by trump and family. The rest of us got a taste at tax time, and hopefully it's not already too late. That would be a great interview.

[malaise]

7. You know the one question I want someone to ask Hillary Clinton is

In hindsight do you think you made a mistake in not inviting him to your daughter's wedding?

[Chin music]

8. Were I she, i'd be in an asylum somewhere. She's one tough lady.

All she wanted to do was help.

[triron]

14. Me too.

[DFW]

33. I know the mom of her son-in-law well

Maybe I can find out!

[malaise]

35. Please do

[not_the_one]

37. it was the foreign press correspondent's dinner

and Obama's jokes at turdface's expense...

turdface is ALL ABOUT revenge.

[CrispyQ]

4. Excellent idea.

I never get a feeling that the Democratic Party has a strategy. I feel like the party & its leaders have been in reactive mode since . . . well Nixon, probably, & it's just gotten worse as the GOP behaves worse. I feel like it's taken Trump for them to realize just how batshit, mean, & hateful the Republican Party is now. In the meantime, the GOP has lied, cheated, & stolen their way into an incredible amount of power. They aren't giving that up without a fight & we've already seen they will do anything. It's gonna be nasty & ugly. I hope the dems realize their colleagues across the aisle, the ones they've worked with for decades in some cases, don't just have a difference of opinion, they want to annihilate everyone who disagrees with them. We are in as dire a situation as the country has ever been in.

[malaise]

5. The first thing Dems need to come to terms with is the fact that

they have no colleagues on the other side.

for the reason you wrote:

In the meantime, the GOP has lied, cheated, & stolen their way into an incredible amount of power.

The time has come for Dems to abandon being nice and collegial - it is all one-sided.

[DFW]

34. As a party, you're right. We are too REactive and not active enough

That’s an advantage Republicans have over us. They spend their time trying to cause damage. We spend our time trying to repair it. The cycle only gets broken when we prevent them from causing further damage before they get that far.

[lunamagica]

6. I hope she does

[malaise]

9. Rachel has invited her following her Op Ed in the WP tonight

Oh Happy Day

[UniteFightBack]

11. Really looking forward to that later. Nice to hear some voices of reason and that Hill is echoing

Pelosi. Who knows maybe Nancy rang her up and said get out there I need some backup.

I think Hillary came off being pretty damn objective considering.

[lunamagica]

13. Yessss!!!! Oh happy day!!!!

[UniteFightBack]

10. Did you call this or what?

[malaise]

12. Well I saw a link saying she spoke out about the Mueller Report

and called for her to be on Rachel. Then we got the Op Ed from the WP this evening. Just coincidence I suspect

[triron]

15. You personally know Hillar

y?

[malaise]

16. No No No

The closest I am to any US politician is knowing Kamala Harris'father and three people who used to baby sit her.

[Baconator]

17. For a party that is supposed to be forward thinking, we sure like to cling to the past...

We need to move on. Doubly so for things from things and people that haven't worked out for us.

[JHan]

18. Any interview Clinton gives is now an example of "Clinging to the past" ?

Are you saying to move on from Mueller's report ?

What is your point?

[Baconator]

19. There's a finite amount of attention and time the party can reasonably expect from the public...

...on the topics of Russia, Mueller, his report, impeachment and the like.

Whatever those responses are, they should come from folks who are currently leading or are likely to lead as we move forward.

Harkening back to the losing days of 2016 and it's representative doesn't seem, to me, like the way move beyond it.

[JHan]

20. On the one hand you're saying that we need to move on, on the other hand ...

you're fine with people who are "Leading" talking about it. Yet, in any discussion about Russian interference, Clinton will be part of that since the election involved her and targeted her campaign.

She can give whatever interview she wants and it will be justified in that context.

[Baconator]

23. She certainly can and it might make her feel better...

...but I don't see many upsides that couldn't be had by someone more relevant (and with less baggage) giving the points.

[Chin music]

27. More relevant? Than whom? the person who had the actual election stolen from her?

She's the #1 recipient of this whole russia thing. I would like to hear much more from her myself. Including some sort of remedy for winning a national election to only have it taken from her by cheating. She's victim number 1. Then comes the other 340 million of us.

[JHan]

31. lol. Many appreciated her op-ed.

Your reasons don't make sense.

You don't like hearing about her, and you're free to dislike her, but maybe just leave it at that . Your attempt to rationalize your dislike in this discussion don't make much sense ( if any at all)

[Baconator]

32. What part of having a party with an emphasis on the future...

... and not the past did you find confusing?

[JHan]

36. Assessing the conclusions of an investigation into an election two years ago..

does not equal an inability to look forward to the future.

I mean really.

[lunatica]

21. Why? So we can all forget it ever happened?

[Baconator]

22. Literally no one is suggesting that.

I merely think that if voters are going to hear about it then it should be from someone relevant (either in power or likely to be soon).

That would be in contrast to someone who is symbolically representative of and literally responsible for the loss in 2016.

[Chin music]

28. Hillary is responsible for the loss? That's quite a statement and line of thinking

you're working on there.

[Baconator]

30. Yes... She's responsible for herself, her campaign and the results.

Who would seriously suggest anything otherwise?

[loyalsister]

24. I think she made a good statement

and that was enough.
Why invite a reopening of old arguments and conflicts when we have a primary unfolding and an opportunity to guide ourselves toward a future with fresh leadership.

[Baconator]

25. Fair enough...

[watoos]

26. Hillary didn't lose in 2016,

the election was stolen from her.

Hillary wrote an excellent op ed that was dynamite.

Hillary would give an excellent interview on Rachel, however,

Trump is just going to use that to bellow that it's proof that the only reason that Democrats are attacking him is because they can't accept the fact that he won the election.

I'm ambivalent about Hillary appearing on Rachel, she will do well and rile up Democrats but Trump is going to use it for his propaganda purposes. Sore loser Democrats is going to hit Twitter.

I think we need more Congressional Democrats to be spouting fire and brimstone at Trump.

I listen to hard core liberals on Sirius radio and what a difference from listening to right wing cable news. The M$M is no help to us at all.

[Chin music]

29. Seems we too often don't act rationally bc of what the Adult Child of Alcoholics

Will 'bellow' or whatever. That's a big part of why he does it. IMHO. So we are all fearful of the explosion when he gets his fee fees hurt. I could care (IN NEGATIVE NUMBERS) if he bellows. SO tired of the man. EVERYONE should be screaming about it bc all the primary people are at the same risk, of being her, THE NEXT TIME.
Hillary was nationally aggrieved. I ask myself, "What would I expect from my just and introspective nation, were it to happen to me?" I'd expect people to care. Like I/we do, for her loss.
