2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann, Sanders should have kept her name out of his response. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)Is she the woman who can stand up to Republicans, the gun lobby, anti-abortion mobs, Russia, all the people she thinks are bad?
Or is she the victim who is hurt by the word choices of other candidates?
If she feels victimized because of Bernie's statement about shouting about gun control, how in the world does she expect to deal with Donald Trump?
A person who is fit to be president has to have a thick skin.
Hillary must decide whether she has a thick enough skin to win the election because the words and accusations thrown at her over the next year and a half, make that nine years and a half if she really does complete her run for the White House are going to be many times more hurtful than the words she is complaining about now.
Who are you, Hillary Clinton?
A strong woman up to the test that the presidential campaign is?
Or a professional VICTIM who complains the minute someone says something you don't like whether true or false.
I happen to agree with Bernie Sanders. Yelling, screaming, shouting, no such things will solve our terrible problem with violence and gun violence in particular.
And we certainly are not going to deal with the social ills that cause our gun violence and our obsessions with guns if we have a president who plays the victim card as often as Hillary does.
Hillary, are you going to continue to scream you are a victim every time someone hurts your feelings or are you going to be strong, calm and accept that politics is a rough game?
Let's talk about issues and not Hillary's hurt feelings.
