Hillary's life will be a living hell if she becomes President

[Laura PourMeADrink]

and we have the same rag tag, dangerous, and deranged Congress we have now

They are already hot to trot on getting her before a committee (at least two times)
over the whole email thing.

People will think Obama had it easy when they open up their whoop ass on her.

Dems must take back control !!

[madokie]

1. no matter who our candidate is the press and the 'CONs will be on them like a chicken on a june bug

I think all of our potential candidates can handle the shit though

[Scootaloo]

4. Now i need a plate of fried chicken, gravy biscuits, and okra

That was just such a goddamned country thing to read. Holy shit

[Sarcastica]

6. What's a gravy biscuit?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. LOL

[Scootaloo]

18. Mostly gravy

[leveymg]

20. Mostly flour ;-)

And 27 herbs and spices. Some drippings and you have yourself a meal.

[Sarcastica]

27. The British call cookies biscuits.

Its like they have a different word for everything.

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. Oh, you poor poor thing.....

First of all, don't ever buy one at a fast food palce.

google "sausage gravy biscuit" recipes.

Find a southern friend to cook you up some.
You simply cannot go on living a moment more without at least one sit down to gravy biscuits.

[Sarcastica]

41. Actually, you haven't lived until you've had MY sausage gravy. We don't play in SC.

I am flabbily familiar with biscuits and gravy, however, I was wondering about gravy biscuits. I was hoping the poster was not poking fun at country cuisine.

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. ahhh...then you do know.....excellent!

I have a very very old memory of a certain taste of flour/milk gravy, from when I was quite young. And only once have I tasted it again, from a southern cook.
A very specific taste..
I think it was using evaporated milk in the gravy???? Does that sound like anything you are familiar with?

[Sarcastica]

44. Never heard of using evaporarted milk before, but lots of different takes on a classic.

I make mine a little spicy....

[jmowreader]

38. It's a split-in-two biscuit with beef gravy poured on it

You know what SOS is? Use biscuits instead of toast, and you have gravy biscuits.

[grasswire]

2. you are right about that.

And I have to say that today I feel more kindly toward her than I have in years.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Maybe they will finally go too far and it will backfire and create sympathy? nt

[misterhighwasted]

3. I actually worry about her survival.

They are capable of anything. And they have proven that before.
just sayin..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. She will have to be squeeky clean to the nth degree - match that

against their Dip Shit guy who started a war on phony pretenses that resulted
in hundreds of thousands of people dying.

And, it's not just a female thing - they did and are doing the
same thing to Obama.

Funniest thing - my wingnut in-laws used to think Hillary was OK (compared to
Obama). Guess that's over with.

[leveymg]

24. Somehow, Libya and Syria got lost in that version.

Almost like time and US destabilizations stopped in 2008.

[Dawson Leery]

9. I agree.

We need both houses of congress.

With them, the first thing I want to see is Arkansas disciplined in the appropriations process for electing Tom Cotton.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Sorry - spoke of congress being both.

[Sarcastica]

10. I think she's got it under control.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. If she is elected, the repukes will hold hundreds of committee hearings over the first four years.

A new cooked up scandal will be released every week. They will refuse to approve any cabinet level appointments. The only legislation will be massive tax breaks for the rich along with gutting all government agencies. Every time a car bomb goes off in the Middle East they will demand a new war. They will literally destroy the country in order to destroy her.

[misterhighwasted]

13. Far too much power for the deranged psychopath's side of the isle to hold.

Its all about a means to an end for those crazy fu**ers.
Bye America, Hello Saudi Arabia.

[RichGirl]

16. Bill Maher New rules - Hilary Clinton Eats Scandals for Breakfast

Love this....

[misterhighwasted]

21. LOL. Thanks. I feel better with that reminder.

It shows by the way she handled this one today.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. And they would treat any other Democrat differently... How?

The answer is, they wouldn't. Yes they would do all those things to Hillary, but they would do them to anyone else we sent too.

[misterhighwasted]

25. Oh most certainly they would. If its anyone other than their chosen candidate, they will..

be quick to set in play the same game as always.
They have that thing mastered.
I think voter suppression is one of our biggest threats in this election. They have a way of eliminating the opposition one way or another.
They are relentless.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. i agree - but you know there's always the eternal hope that things will change. Seeing

them pounce on her is like knowing the end of a movie before you've seen the movie.

Other than the obvious nausea - what do you think about the idea - whoever is our nominee - of picking a sane moderate Republican as a running mate. To help kill the gridlock. Would it help? Or would the crazies just turn on the VP too?

[Warren DeMontague]

52. I think those mixed ticket ideas never work, plus I'm not sure the strange animal known as a

"moderate republican" even exists anymore.

I don't actually think the VP choice makes that much difference, and I think any sort of interparty intransigence that would generate the sort of gridlock we invariably get, would prevent any Republican from running on a D ticket anyway. Their party would never let them.

I'm not sure it would help, all it would do would be to make it real hard for people like me to be able to vote for the thing. I have enough trouble voting for the ticket when a "moderate republican" from our own party (at least, at the time) is on the ticket, i.e. Lieberman.

[RichGirl]

12. That makes her the best choice for president.

She is the ONLY one who knows how truly vile republicans are. She's been through it, not just her own experience but Bill's as well. Any other democrat will go into the presidency like Obama, thinking that if they can win over the republicans by working with them, they will get cooperation. Then half way through their second term, like Obama, they will finally get how truly evil they are.

Hillary has the battle scars to know there is no working with them.

I LOVE Elizabeth Warren but she is already thinking she can work with republicans on income equality. As if the party that created income equality is going to end it!!! As if they care a rats ass that people are living in poverty.

[misterhighwasted]

19. Absolutely agree on this point. She learned a long time ago who they are & how they play their game.

Tough role for her.
But then I think of strong women who lead their Nations, like Indira Ghandi, etc that never quit doing what they believed in.
Heck yea, Hillary could retire, enjoy her successes, speaking for her lifetime passionate causes, working with her Foundation in a positive way around the world, and enjoying her granddaughter, little Charlotte. teaching her & watching her grow up, maybe doing a little gardening..but that would be me. And I am not made of the strong backbone of Hillary Clinton.
Bless her heart & I wish her safe passage to the last day of her amazing life.

[Hekate]

33. I like that thought. Thanks.

[spanone]

14. i fear you are correct.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. The one thing i DONT worry about, is those folks' ability to deal with the reality of DC

Theyve been marinating in it for decades. One of the strongest arguments for HRC as a candidate, IMHO, is that she is more than familiar with the game as played there.

[Fumesucker]

36. Also one of the strongest arguments against as well..

[Warren DeMontague]

39. But I do suspect she is more than capable of handling the stresses of DC

I mean, say what you will about those two, they thrive on it.

[Fumesucker]

43. One of the things that bothers me about them

Absorbing all that garbage without letting it show and then coming back for more, more, more.

[Warren DeMontague]

46. There's something about the only people who are really qualified for power are the ones who don't

want it...

or something.

[libodem]

22. Shitstorm

Raincoats recommended. And if were Laura or Beautiful Mind Barbara running and we took after them in the same disrespectful abusive hate filled attack mode, Democrats would be considered tasteless scum.

They get away with obscene amounts of dirty tricks and behavior.

[bhikkhu]

23. She knows that better, perhaps, than anyone else running

And for still running I have to give her a lot of credit. Its a rotten job, but if good people don't stand up and do it, we know the sort that will be happy to step in (and make "living hell" a little more of reality for many more of us ordinary folk).

[HereSince1628]

26. Somedays I get the feeling it's insatiable revenge

for her work during Nixon's impeachment.

A turncoat college republican who according to the story of the 'aggrieved' didn't want Nixon to have legal representation

[marshall]

28. Frankly, she's used to it

she can take it, and she can even thrive on it.

[Generic Brad]

29. And so would any other Democratic president

Hillary Clinton has rhino skin and has a decades long track record of fending off their attacks. While there are some other potential candidates I prefer, there is no denying that she has proven she can hold up under relentless pressure. I am not convinced there is any other Democrat candidate who can be as strong as she is in the face of persistent and pervasive pressure.

[greatlaurel]

30. HRC handled this press conference like a champ.

The news readers are in a snit because they got played by the right wing operatives, again. Even the talking heads on MSNBC have embarrassed themselves over this.

She can take it and show the right wingers for the fools they are. Proceed, gentleman.

[Jamaal510]

31. That's why

nobody here will ever have to worry about me running for president. No amount of money is worth that. I'd go insane within the first 6 months. The electorate might be different by the time I hit 35 and the Republicans might have less power by then, but I'm not holding my breath. It a thankless job that's high on pay, but also stress. Even campaigning for an elected position is hard work.

[Beausoir]

32. I'm sure she is terribly scared!

Your game has slipped considerably over the past 7 years.

Still predictable...but far less annoying.

[dixiegrrrrl]

35. She will have plenty of tricks of her own to counter with, don't forget Bill will be around.

Overtly or covertly, I am sure she can pick his brains.

[hrmjustin]

37. The senate will be easier to wrestle back than the house.

Candidate recruitment is key.

[herding cats]

40. Any Dem who wins the presidency will be subjected to a living hell in the current political climate.

We need to organize and get candidates in offices where the current crop of are ruling.

A hat tip to you for recognizing the problem.

[Mira]

45. I would respect her most

If she bowed out now and said dealing with asshole idiots and traitors was not what she had in mind.
And if she then picked up and hugged her grandchild I would be aok with that.
Some things are just too hard to attempt.
This is one of them.

[LanternWaste]

49. That will apply to any Democratic president.

That will apply to any Democratic president.

[Bettie]

50. It doesn't matter who is president, if they have a D after their name on the news

Republicans will do exactly what they've done to Obama. It will ramp up and get worse.

The letter to Iraq was a signal. A message. "We will never work with anyone who isn't one of us".

At least that's my take.

[Sick_of_TP]

51. Why can't at least a few Democrats

have a mean streak in them and learn how to attack those jerks on the other side.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. I know - our PR machine is dead. At least we still have (for a while) Jon

Stewart and Bill Maher - otherwise we'd have no one calling them out

[steve2470]

53. Any Dem's life will be nt

[bigtree]

54. people need to recognize

...ANY Democrat in the WH or seeking that office is going to be subject to continued and heightened republican smears. It's their primary tactic; make up some meme or scandal and repeat it over and over until it either sticks or makes their party enough money from their rabid, bigoted base. NO Democratic leader who dares to lead the nation is immune from their nonsense. That's basically the republican party of today. We'd better be able to deal with this and not assume that it's limited to one Democratic figure or the other.
