The Hillary TV-minseries or documentary is a stupid idea.

[Archae]

It will be said to be a campaign ad for Hillary by the right-wing, and they won't be totally wrong.

A TV-miniseries will make shit up for "artistic license" or to "juice it up."

Besides, we don't even *KNOW* yet whether Hillary is going to run for President in 2016 or not, so why jump the gun?

1. Haven't there been others done like this in the past?

I don't quite get what the big controversy is about this - unless it's another one of those GOP made up non story/scandals - that would explain it all.

2. "Why jump the gun?"

Because it is cable news and we can count on them to go ape shit if they think someone is going to say anything of substance. Which won't happen, because it was proposed by cable news.

3. I thought TV mini-series

and stupid idea were synonyms. Speaking of which, maybe they could do a mini-series on the Paul family (think aqua Buddha,) and Jeb Bush and the BFEE. In the interest of fairness, all the Gopper wannabees should get a turn in the barrel.

4. I think I like the idea of telling her story.

[FarPoint]

5. You said it,yourself

we don't even know if she is running. I myself want to see the Hillary series ...I enjoyed her book as well. I want to watch it for the information and find her to be a dynamic woman...a leader she has become and I'm interested in her story.

6. I don't see there being an upside for Hillary

Either the piece portrays her with negative characteristics and people's view of her is affected, or if its too shiny, people will think she's a phony.

Isn't this the type of thing that led to Citizens United, a movie about Hillary?

7. More likely, it will be just another in the long line of Clinton hit pieces. nt

[immoderate]

8. It is made to fill the vacuum that not making it would create.

The world just needs this bio-pic!

9. I hope the Pukes do boycott

makes them even less likely to win an election

10. lol @ 'jump the gun'

That only makes sense if you buy the rightwing nonsense that a hillary documentary would somehow be made just to benefit her politically. And you would only buy that if you were a teabagger. Are you one?

11. Why is everyone saying this is a lead-in to 2016?

Her accomplishments thus far have been worthy of a movie.
An accomplished attorney, First Lady of the United States, United States Senator from New York, and U.S. Secretary of State. And didn't she run for POTUS a while back?
I think it would be an interesting documentary.
The GOP would prefer we just sit back and watch Honey Boo Boo.
