Did anyone see Hillary's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel?

I thought everyone would be talking about it - I'm about to go to bed, but she was great. Jimmy had her open a jar of pickles to prove she isn't dying (she did it!).

He also made her read Drumpf quotes from a fish bowl fitted with a Drumpf wig - she had to stick her hand in it and read the quotes without laughing. They weren't funny (she said so) and she couldn't even read the last one - refused. It was Donald's sick comment about how he'd date his daughter if she wasn't his daughter.

Hillary was funny, and seemed to really enjoy herself. She got some good digs in on the Burnt Yam too.

Oh - she also said that Bernie is working with her campaign and she's grateful to him.

Try to watch it if you can. Goodnight!

It was great! She did so good and sounded so sane. Jimmy really seems to like her. He always has some great jokes about Trump.

I'm looking forward to it! I have the DVR set just in case I fall asleep before she comes on.

The fact that she wouldn't read the comment about Trump's daughter shows that she's got great instincts. There is no reason for her to use that comment against Trump; there are plenty of others without stooping to that and embarrassing Chelsea's friend Ivanka.

I have met her a couple of times, so I kind of knew what to expect. She is still a little stiff before crowds, but on a one-on-one, be it in private or on camera, especially if it is a non-pressure situation, she is obviously still very sharp.

Full disclosure: I did not consider myself to have been a pressure situation.
More full disclosure: neither my wife nor my daughters were consulted on the preceding full disclosure.
