I need a good laugh. What was Hillary's greatest achievement in her many years of public service?

[Lone_Wolf]

Of course I'm being charitable when I say public service.

[JudyM]

1. Stood by her (philandering) man to maintain their social position.

(More important than her post office naming bill)

[pkdu]

5. May want to take off the Post Office naming bit.

It's a bit of a Bernie Special in his Amendment King persona.

[JudyM]

7. It's all she did.

[pkdu]

17. Eh, nope. Unless you discount at the bills she cosponsored , which is how the Senate works

You know , bipartisanship. Like Bernie voting with Republicans as well. On guns , ,Militia men , nuclear waste to Texas. It's the sausage-making .

[askew]

48. Co-sponsoring a bill is the equivalent of signing an online petition.

It takes zero effort but makes you feel good.

Sen/Reps are judged by the # of sponsored bills they get passed, no co-sponsored. Hillary got 3 ceremonial bills she sponsored passed and that's it. She was do-nothing Senator. Obama got more done in the Senate in 4 years than she got done in her 8. And Bernie certainly got way more done than Hillary did. Just his VA bill with McCain was more than Hillary did.

[pkdu]

64. Please self-delete....your two half post is self-contradictory and a joke. Nt

[JudyM]

78. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

[appalachiablue]

81. While working as a corporate lawyer for union busting Walmart whose majority

workforce is made up of women, who she's proud to be a role model for, Hill became involved in better wages and conditions for them. Wait, that Didn't happen!

[JudyM]

92. Oh, yes, that is an accomplishment!

[msongs]

2. getting 2 million more votes than the sunshine democrat? nt

[tabasco]

4. That all ya' got?

Says something, doesn't it?

And your number is a falsehood.

[JudyM]

12. Well it ain't her favorability ratings!

[JudyM]

11. Riiiiight. In states that will win Dems the presidency.

[redstateblues]

20. In Swing states Like FL, OH and VA? Sucks to be losing doesn't it.

[JudyM]

25. Here's some first-hand info on VA.

I was deeply involved volunteering in the campaign here. I personally spoke with hundreds and hundreds of voters. At that point in the campaign, due to the media barely covering him, the majority - yes majority - of people I talked with really didn't know him at all. All they'd heard, for the most part, was the memes being promulgated by Hillary's campaign. This was corroborated by many fellow staging locations directors, canvass captains and canvassers.

So, for whatever you think it's worth, if you are genuinely interested in the Virginia vote, most people had just a passing familiarity with his name and the "issues" against him.

[metroins]

54. Sounds like Bernie did not lead

His campaign very well in VA.

[redstateblues]

66. The old "They didn't know him" excuse.

Everybody I knew at the time voted for McGovern. How is it possible Nixon won? With all the money Bernie has it has to be considered an unforced error that he didn't spend some of his ample resources to get Virginians familiar with him.

[uponit7771]

24. General election is different than primary election

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. Thank goodness for Google, eh?

[CorporatistNation]

46. Yep... Hillary Will Lose GE Wheere Bernie If Nominated Will WIN IT!

TRUTH...

[laserhaas]

90. Pulling such iff with everyone watching

Crowds bigger than 3 to 1 of hers

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

3. Iknowiknowiknow...

Wait...no I don't...sorry

[Kalidurga]

6. Fooling people into believing she is a liberal.

[gordyfl]

8. She Told the Wall Street Banks

to "Knock it off".

[DemocracyDirect]

73. I thought she said "Cut it out".

Notice how people who lie about what they said, can't remember what they said.

[oberliner]

9. A let's-bash-Hillary-for-laughs post?

What is the point of this?

[Herman4747]

32. So, endeavoring to list her accomplishments...

...is "bashing" her?

Most telling.

[oberliner]

35. The poster wrote "I need a good laugh"

Implying that her accomplishments are laughable is bashing her.

[hobbit709]

40. The laugh is the number of accomplishments or the lack thereof.

[Lone_Wolf]

51. It's laughable because one would think her supporters could rattle off dozens of them

She's constantly reminding us of her great resume. Seems weird to have a great resume with no noteworthy accomplishments.

[oberliner]

52. Hence the intention was to bash Hillary

Clearly, you are not a supporter of hers and the purpose of the thread was not to celebrate her accomplishments, but rather it was to suggest that she hasn't accomplished anything noteworthy, as you say here.

[Lone_Wolf]

55. It's educational.

I wish to show people who are on the fence about her, that her greatness is a myth.

[Arugula Latte]

86. So why don't you guys list her accomplishments then?

Then you can celebrate them.

We're all ears.

[oberliner]

88. 7 of Hillary Clinton’s biggest accomplishments

1. Fought for children and families for 40 years and counting.

2. Helped provide millions of children with health care.

3. Helped get 9/11 first responders the health care they needed.

4. Told the world that “women’s rights are human rights.”

5. Stood up for LGBT rights at home and abroad.

6. Helped expand health care and family leave for military families.

7. Negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

74. Do you have an answer? What is her greatest accomplishment in public service? nt

[Armstead]

10. She and Bill are excellent businesspeople....They built a fortune from public office

[Sky Masterson]

13. She tried to make it punishable by jail time and a huge fine to burn the flag

That was important.

[pugetres]

37. Luckily that wasn't

one of the only three bills she sponsored and/or cosponsored that made it into law. She should stick with naming things.

[sadoldgirl]

14. She did give a speech in China about

women's rights,and took a lot of flack for it.

I don't know though, what it accomplished.

[redstateblues]

15. At age 74 what has Bernie done to justify getting a six figure income

for a quarter of a century? The "amendment king"? We The People have been paying Bernie a lot for a little. At least the NRA has had an solid ally in Congress.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. His constituents have determined he deserves the job.

Is that an issue with you outsiders?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

30. So you've got nothing good to say about your candidate?

[redstateblues]

61. Definitely-In my estimation, Hillary would make a better President than Bernie

She is a flawed candidate but Bernie has no plan to win back Congress-He hasn't lifted a finger to help down ballot Dems. He has no plan to win back state houses. Bernie is an anger and envy merchant who would be an epic failure as President because of his inability to compromise. I would have supported Warren if she had chosen to run. She is inspirational. If Bernie won the nomination I would vote for him-I wouldn't feel good about it tho- The Rs would destroy Bernie in the GE. BSS are totally blind to Bernie's baggage. We have no perfect candidates as opposed to what we had when Obama ran. Hillary, not being the ideal candidate, would be a good President. The fact that Bernie doesn't respect our Prez bothers me. I admire Obama greatly.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

62. Thanks for the reply.

[beam me up scottie]

67. They gave a D minus grade to a "solid ally"? Sure that makes total sense - to a Hillary supporter.

[Lil Missy]

16. of course no honest and or objective answer would satisfy you.

Y.ou're doing this only to stir shit

[asuhornets]

19. She has raised millions and millions of dollars for other Democrats...

unlike Bernie-the Party of One candidate.

[peacebird]

41. ^^^This!^^^

[vintx]

72. This should be an OP

So many suckers, so many ways to fool them.

[glinda]

38. And where did that money come from?

[asuhornets]

39. From people.....n/t

[glinda]

69. funny

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. She approved a campaign logo that points to the right.

Actually, that IS appropriate.

[840high]

33. lol

[Nyan]

23. She's survived her husband's adultery.

which kind of reminds me of that show Scandal where the guy has a crappy dad, so his staffer feels bad for him and gives him presidency by subverting democracy. It's funny when white people suffer in their personal life, everyone else has to feel bad for them and give them something for it. I mean, talk about white privilege. If Barack Obama cheated on Michelle Obama, would people feel bad for her and think she deserves the presidency (partly) because she's put up with a lot of crap? I don't think so.

[creon]

27. None

Clinton is, clearly, a corporate stooge.
Obvious to all
decent americans.

[Herman4747]

28. To calm a frightened girl, she boldly ran through terrifying sniper fire

[basselope]

29. She told wall street to Cut.. it... out.

[CentralCoaster]

31. Personally took out Osama Bin Laden, to hear her describe it.

Saved Ireland, survived Bosnia landing, Saved America, Made a Gazillion Dollars on the Down Low,

And stuff like that.

[Hiraeth]

34. I heard she can wipe really good with a cloth.

Other than that, I got nothing

[Ino]

36. She got Obama and his supporters...

to pay off her campaign debts in 2008

Because of course she was Dead Broke™ ... again.

[farleftlib]

42. Wow, not one of her fans has posted anything!

That says it all.

[Lone_Wolf]

43. It was a rhetorical question

[Arugula Latte]

59. Amazing, isn't it?

It seems like everything she's touched has turn to crap.

[RiverLover]

44. She sold fracking to the world.

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/09/hillary-clinton-fracking-shale-state-department-chevron

GO BigOil! woo

Who cares if our future generations suffer? Being filthy rich now is all that matters & what an accomplishment that is!

[Attorney in Texas]

45. She courageously dodged sniper fire in Bosnia, that's a pretty big deal.

[reddread]

47. Iraq

its not funny though

[CharlotteVale]

49. ::::::crickets:::::::

[floppyboo]

50. And aside from the past, has there been one noteworthy event this cycle?

[HooptieWagon]

53. Grifted her way from dead broke to worth 100s of millions.

Assuming corruption is an 'accomplishment' and not public service.

[Land of Enchantment]

70. Thread Winner!!!

I was going to say making a fortune off cattle futures--she made $100,000 of a $1,000 investment. Must have been beginner's luck...

[Thinkingabout]

56. She has written successful books and made money doing so, I don't think I read

An article written by Hillary on women's fantasies being raped.

[Arugula Latte]

63. Hillary defended the rapist of a 12-year-old, smeared the victim, and laughed about it.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/234515/former-12-year-old-rape-victim-hillary-clinton-daniel-greenfield

[Thinkingabout]

75. Yes she acted as attorney for a person accused of rape, we are entitled to an attorney

In legal proceedings. What capacity was Sanders in when writing an article about women's fantasies, I doubt he was an attorney for women, big difference.

[Arugula Latte]

83. Hillary went beyond the pale to smear a child and laugh about it.

That's more than just defending a client.

So your strawman doesn't apply.

[Thinkingabout]

87. And Sanders was a thirty one year old writing an article which I find very offensive, rape is not

something to just toss in the garbage, he wrote it and published the article, unacceptable.

[all american girl]

79. That's called doing your job. Unless, of course you don't like our system of innocent until proven

guilty? Also, I think she was assigned by a judge to take the case...so there's that.

[Arugula Latte]

84. Hillary went beyond the pale to smear a child and laugh about it.

That's more than just defending a client.

So your strawman doesn't apply.

[all american girl]

85. OFFS, she was a young lawyer defending a creep....how about you cut her some slack

maybe, just maybe the whole thing sickened her and she didn't handle it as well as you would. I also laugh when I shouldn't, I do it when I'm nervous and/or uncomfortable. Shit happens. And smear the poor little girl, this wasn't the 1990's, it was the 70's...they did that crap. Just a fact. You can't use today to judge yesterday....it doesn't work that way.

[beam me up scottie]

68. She made millions from special interests, I prefer the essay about gender stereotypes.

Bernie came by his money honestly - by working for the people, he didn't sell out to corporations.

[dchill]

57. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the NUMBER ONE ACHIEVEMENT...

She has inspired, influenced and taught most of her supporters to evade questions and project bullshit.

[Thinkingabout]

58. Hillary said her biggest accomplishment was having Chelsea.

[chknltl]

60. Wow...where are the accomplishments? nt

[LexVegas]

65. This reads like a fucking FR thread. nt

[HooptieWagon]

71. Yet you couldn't list a single accomplishment. Nt

[jmg257]

76. I will look into releasing that answer.

But won't do so till everyone else releases theirs.

[JackInGreen]

77. Managed to be a one woman

"See everyone, universal health care doesn't work" show for her pharmacy and insurance friends.

[Bluenorthwest]

80. She repaired the sullied images of Ron and Nancy Reagan by making sure they were credited for what

they did not do and making sure those LGBT activists who did the work are erased from our national narrative....

"It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s and because of both president and Mrs. Reagan — in particular Mrs. Reagan — we started a national conversation, when before nobody would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it, and that too is something I really appreciate with her very effective low-key advocacy. It penetrated the public conscience and people began to say, hey, we have to do something about this too."

[VulgarPoet]

82. Thirty thousand at least wounded if not worse in Iraq. nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

91. As a Sanders supporter, I'd say CHIP and SCHIP.

Yeah, that was 30 years ago, but still. Credit where credit is due.
