Valerie Plame Wilson says she'd campaign for Hillary, a person who could "walk through fire."

[pnwmom]

Surprised and bemused by a call from someone in the Trump camp to endorse the Donald, Valerie Plame says NO.

But, if asked, she'll campaign for Hillary.

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/plame-wilson-trump-campaign-reached-out-for-her-support/article_e786a99b-0386-5939-b469-a553017d4cde.html

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton is more to Plame Wilson’s liking and, if asked, she and her husband would serve as surrogate speakers on the campaign trail for the former secretary of state, she said.

Plame Wilson described Clinton as someone who could “walk through fire.”

As a CIA operative, Plame Wilson worked against nuclear proliferation. In her private life, she continues to be active in efforts to eliminate such weapons. A recent viral video in which she appeared has been viewed more than 2.5 million times, she said.

While she understands that many are drawn to the Trump campaign because of his blunt style, Plame Wilson said she believes that could eventually spell doom for the campaign.

1. Time for Valerie Plame Wilson to be thrown under the bus by the 'Not Hillary' Party. nt

7. Opposition research was done here on Gutierrez.

That is all one needs to know about how little concern some have for progress over cult of personality. One of the top leaders on progressive immigration reform, and one of the best friends to the oppressed, had opposition research done on him here at du. His crime, a lighthearted jab at Sanders. It's becoming more and more clear they are in it to win at all costs, including standing in direct opposition to this countries greatest progressive voices. I think there just pissed that after months of running for President Gutierrez has about the same name recognition.

[cali]

32. yes and I did it. your comparison is wholly.invalid.

I have no problem with Plame endorsing Hillary or acting as a surrogate and stumping for her. What Gutierrez did was contemptible and as dishonest as it gets. And it's amusing that you're touting him as a progressive lion. In many ways, he's far from it, and he sure has no problem attacking a fellow progressive in a despicable manner. As for the idiotic and hollow claim of cult of personality, sorry chum, but that's as much crap as Gutierrez' suggesting that Sanders' doesn't like immigrants.

[NCTraveler]

38. I'm spot on.

Opposition research against one of our best and loudest voices on progressive immigration reform. Why don't you stop being so passive aggressive with the chum crap. you did opposition research on one of progressives strongest voices on immigration reform. He often spends his days at venues helping the oppressed manage their way through our severely flawed system. He is who I am aligned with. The communities he represents are who I am aligned with. I have zero respect for anyone doing opposition research on him.

15. While Hillary is my 3rd choice of the Democratic candidates available

I do congratulate Hillary for picking up an endorsement from a person I respect and admire for her vocal support of President Obama's Iran deal among other things.

I consider it an important endorsement and one that hopefully Democrats will respect regardless of their preference of candidate in the 2016 presidential primaries.

For what it's worth I also would prefer Hillary over Joe if he jumps in. I realize that may not be much consolation but I mention it anyways.....

19. I love plame but it changes nothing for me

[lewebley3]

23. Three Cheers for Valerie: I hope she can get her job back when Hillary's Pres

[SunSeeker]

34. +1

[Thinkingabout]

2. This is great, I have lots of respect for Valerie and Joe Wilson, hard workers and the outing of

Valerie during the Bush administration is unforgivable, having this couple on the campaign trail will be a joy.

9. I'm surprised this remark didn't garner an alert.

I think it's in questionable taste. Possibly not a violation of the TOS, though.

10. All in good fun.

If you want me to delete it I will.

[malthaussen]

13. Naw.

But, at the risk of being sanctimonious, I've found myself thinking a lot before I crack wise these days. Too much risk of being misunderstood.

18. It's not sanctimonious. Just sound advice. Have a Wonderful Day. n/t

11. Classy..... nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[Adrahil]

14. Oh, I think it reflects more on you, than me....

... if that's the way you wish to present yourself, by no means let me stop you.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. Don't let it ruin your day. I love Saturdays. We have a car show today and the weather's beautiful.

It's going to be 72 and sunny with the slightest bit of breeze. Perfect.

After that we're going to have a late lunch out on the lake. God I love weekends here in the mountains. The boat's gased and polished.

Oops gotta run. Breakfast burritos. My Wife makes bomb breakfast burritos.

Enjoy your day. Sorry about the speed bump. Hopefully it's the worst thing that happens to you today.

[Cha]

39. He's already deleted.. but I can imagine.. and you're right.. it totally reflects on the one

throwing the insult than on their target.

[Cha]

40. And, then they try to throw it back on you.. typical.

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. Cheney should be in prison for life for actions against her--he is a traitor.

He purposefully outed her in retaliation for her husband telling the truth to the American people. And he got away with it. How much damage did he do to national security and to other individuals who were working under cover.

I have great admiration for her and her husband.

[artislife]

20. Agree on all points

Unbelievable what didn't happen.

[lewebley3]

24. Agreed, you are right Emerald

[Gothmog]

5. That is a great endorsement

[sufrommich]

6. Great endorsement. I have nothing but respect for Plame. nt

[Amimnoch]

8. K&R - Great endorsement.

[mcar]

16. Nice

[MoonRiver]

21. Awesome!

Valerie and Joe are two of my heroes!

[Cal33]

29. Mine, too, but that's not going to influenc my belief that Bernie would make a better president

for all of us than Hillary. Actually, these are two separate topics, and one has nothing got to
do with the other.

[MoonRiver]

31. Well, I wasn't talking about what influences you, or your choice for president.

I was just stating my appreciation of the Plame/Wilsons.

[DrBulldog]

25. A firewalker? Who wants one?

We don't need an entertainer for President. We need a cold-blooded ruthless brilliant FIGHTER. We need BERNIE!

[BlueMTexpat]

26. Good for her!

She is a great role model.

[DrBulldog]

27. So we wouldn't be able to hold her feet to the fire?

Hmmm . . . let me think about that.

30. Or more realistically

...walk through a focus group gauntlet.

33. I'm guessing this highly intelligent lady is not holding Hillary's IWR

vote against her.

36. Valerie had endorsed Hillary in April, glad to see them on the campaign trail also.

41. They like Hillary for President.. they were for her it 2008, too. thanks pnwmom.

42. Excellent news! Plame and Wilson would be great additions to the campaign!

Valerie Plame Wilson has certainly seen enough to know. Adds heft and credibility galore.

Love Plame and Wilson and hate what was done to her by Darth Cheney!
