1. She is brave.

[NNadir]

2. She's resilient and tough, unlike that coddled little racist red haired boy the Repukes...

...put up.

Could you imagine if the little twitter had to take the kind of unjustified criticism Ms. Clinton endured over the last several decades?

[Mister Ed]

3. Smart as a whip and tough as nails.

And I've always felt certain her heart is in the right place.

[livetohike]

4. Her sense of humor and her laugh! n/t

[Skidmore]

5. Her steadfastness and

her willingness to learn and use new information.

[Johnny2X2X]

6. Her grace

She has handled more attacks than any two politicians in history and she has been graceful. She has a spirit of service and doesn't let the attacks prevent her from being an effective advocate for the needy.

[jaceaf]

7. Resilience

She's never going to quit on us.

[CBHagman]

35. That's just what I was going to say.

She just keeps going, no matter what.

[handmade34]

8. all of the above ^

...and her laugh

[SticksnStones]

9. "Hillary Clinton is uncommonly warm and thoughtful..."

So said Jon Favraou, Former Obama '08 speechwriter, he wasn't particularly of fan of hers. That is, until he got the chance to see her up close and in action when they both served in the Obama administration.

Seems like a good day to return to the article Favraou wrote for The Daily Beast earlier this year:

Most of all—and you hear this all the time from people who’ve worked for her—Hillary Clinton is uncommonly warm and thoughtful. She surprises with birthday cakes. She calls when a grandparent passes away. She once rearranged her entire campaign schedule so a staffer could attend her daughter’s preschool graduation. Her husband charms by talking to you; Hillary does it by listening to you—not in a head-nodding, politician way; in a real person way.

Inauguration Day can't come soon enough!

[frazzled]

10. Brains and workhorse ethic

I actually love that she's a policy wonk, and that her goal is to get things done that can be done rather than just tilt at windmills.

And I love that she's been getting things done, in small ways and bigger ones, her entire adult life. And ... brains.

[BlueMTexpat]

12. I LOVE that she

picks herself up after whatever nastiness is thrown at her and gets right back to what really matters with a forward-looking long-term attitude.

Oh - and ALL of the above!

[mopinko]

13. i was at the launch of her book tour.

first stop, here in chi. she had rahm on stage, and the 2 of them just sat and talked about their time in the white house, both the clinton and obama years. the stories about them talking her into taking the sec of state job. sending rahm in when they knew she was pissed about something.
they were hilarious.
felt like i got a glimpse of the real person, and i really liked her.

[riversedge]

14. Nice story. Glad you had that opportunity to get to know her better. Thanks

[peggysue2]

15. Her unbelievable resolve

HRC is not a woman who will sit down and shut up. I don't believe it's in her DNA. And by being so resolved, she gives people, women in particular, the courage to say what must be said, the strength to get up after we fall down or lose or find ourselves disappointed.

Because it is not who you are when you stumble because everyone falls down. It's who you are when you stand back up. That combination of grit and grace is a gift by example. Never give up. Always move forward.

[hauckeye]

16. I live in Racine, WI

Today a woman rang my doorbell - she was from Chicago and was canvassing the neighborhood for Hillary. I was delighted to tell her that I will be voting for HRC, as will my husband and daughter. I love that she inspires such enthusiasm!

[riversedge]

24. I read someplace that a group from IL was going to canvass in WI this weekend. I was out

yesterday for a few hours.

[pnwmom]

17. She never quits.

[nolabear]

18. Many people are alive today because of her.

That foundation has saved many, many lives.

[Hortensis]

19. That after 25 years of battling vicious opposition,

with many scars to prove it, and with the chance to retire a victor, she took on the biggest battle of all--to be America's first woman president.

[narnian60]

30. +1

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

20. I like that she is a problem solver

She isn't all talk and into getting power for herself as maybe the republicans would like us to believe. She only wants this to affect positive change in this country. She has her own ideas,but she also listens to other peoples ideas and considers them. She works with other people to get things done. She is effective at actually getting the work done.

[Marthe48]

21. I love her strength

She is getting unfairly and incessently attacked and prevails without losing her temper. What is the line? ...She stoops to conquer...

[riversedge]

22. #WhatDoYouLoveAboutHillary ? is now a Hashtag.........***********

#WhatDoYouLoveAboutHillary ? Her bravery in standing up to open sexism creates new paths for our children & theirs.

23. 'The power of her intellect coupled with the humanity of her listening heart. '

Several have said about the same.

#whatdoyouloveaboutHillary The power of her intellect coupled with the humanity of her listening heart.

[Demsrule86]

25. I love her laugh...no fake haha for Hil...

a deep joyous noise that makes you want to lagugh with her.

[FarPoint]

26. I love her amazing stamina!

She can take life long republican and media abuse/ hits and bullying, day in day out and for 12 hour sitting better than Joan of Arc or Rocky Balboa combined. Amazing!

[mercuryblues]

27. What I have

noticed by watching my daughter go from a tween to an accomplished adult is that she sets goals, with steps to achieve them.

She was willing to adjust to new circumstances to keep advancing towards her goal. The end result is she not only reaches her goal, but many times she was able to surpass it.

By watching her, reading her policies and how she plans to implement them reminds me of that. If she fails at something she won't give up, she will find a new way to achieve it.

Tenacity, focus and the ability to keep people around her that are willing to build up, not tear down.

[MoonRiver]

28. Been thinking about this, and I just cannot pick one area!

I think, overall, it is her dedication to children and families that has most impressed me about this awesome woman!

[oberliner]

29. Have you ever read her 1969 Commencement Speech at Wellesley?

It is quite amazing:

[rurallib]

31. She listens

one of the few people in politics who ever has.
Extremely important.
And when she listens, she makes changes. extremely important

[lunamagica]

32. I love her strenght and courage. How she has not only survived 30 years of right-wing

smears and attacks, but always comes out stronger. She's a real inspiration for everyone.

[ismnotwasm]

33. Hillary Clinton has a methodical, nuts and bolts approach to problems and solutions

I love this about her, and it's the biggest reason why she is so successful

[sofa king]

34. She was the most talented Senator I ever watched.

Way back when, it was my job to watch and chronicle the activities of all freshman Senators, so even though Mrs. Clinton kept a low public profile in 2001, I followed what she did in the Senate as closely as I could. I'd tap my contacts among staffers and ruffle through then-obscure publications like Roll Call and The Hill, follow every vote, and so on.

The inside track on Mrs. Clinton was that she was amazing. Each new Senator had to complete a large number of orientation courses, including a Code of Official Conduct course which I vaguely recall was overseen by Senator Robert Byrd in person back then.

Whatever the case, the word from Senator Byrd's office was that Mrs. Clinton was the star pupil, who mastered the code of conduct courses and quickly moved on to the esoterica of Senate procedure which is what saved all of your asses in the years 2001-2009, narrowly preventing the Bush administration from expanding half a dozen wars you never heard about and dumping your Social Security money into the crashing stock market, among other things.

Senators are evaluated by their peers and their committee assignments tell you an awful lot about how they're going to turn out. Mrs. Clinton's fellow Senators put her on the very most important and difficult Committees, including Budget, Armed Services, Environment and Public Works, and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. No pedigree or imaginary privilege can get a freshman Senator on those Committees; one has to demonstrate ability to get such plums.

I kept a sharp eye on Senator Clinton for another four or five years before I finally left the field. She was the model Senator, who was familiar with every report and often wrote them, who was prepared for every hearing, who asked the detailed and penetrating questions, who had the crack staff that knew everything about everyone and how everything worked.

In retrospect, she was the best new Senator I ever had to watch. When President Obama says Mrs. Clinton is the best-qualified Presidential candidate ever, he really means it, and he's surely basing some of that assessment on his time with her in the Senate. Hillary Clinton is going to be a masterful President, one for whom we will all be proud to vote for--and be proud of ourselves for it--for the rest of our days.

37. Now this, is an impressive post

Think you!

[qwlauren35]

43. Thank you for posting that.

It's a really powerful testimony.

[msanthrope]

36. Tough as nails. nt

[AgadorSparticus]

38. She has been in the fire for 30yrs. And now she is as strong and polished as steel.

It is an absolute inspiration.

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. Exactly

[Jamaal510]

40. She is still standing firm

and is winning handily despite sensationalist journalism from much of the press, and despite misinformation and conspiracy theories coming at her 24/7 from RW reactionaries and a handful of self-proclaimed LWers. I also can't help but marvel at how well-run her campaign has been. No one in her circle is taking anything for granted as they are even running ads in blue states, and have been contributing to down-ballot elections. They're aiming for a blue tidal wave.

[DemonGoddess]

41. She's a wonk with a great sense of humor! n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

42. I love that she never, ever quits working to help others

She is intent on making life better for the most vulnerable among us and she has proven this with hard work, her entire life.

She will be an outstanding president.
