Thank you host and loquitor for injecting a little levity into this discussion. If Hillary had come out of nowhere the Democrats would be on fire to get her into the White House and the Republicans would be quaking in their boots - actually, they are quaking in their boots even though many of them would rather cut their tongues out than admit it out loud. She is a brilliant and talented woman and an accomplished politician. She cares. She is visionary. And I respect her very much. I'd love to see her as my president, but unfortunately I think she is too shackled by all of this hysterical notoreity that she has garnered. I hate to think it, but in my gut I believe its true. I don't think she would be suffering the same public lambasting that she has if she were a man. I can't think otherwise when there is not a single male politician I can recall who has suffered the same fate for simply doing what a politician does. It's a damn shame so many Democrats are willing to throw away the best candidate we have for such bullshit hysteria.
