(413 posts)152. her foreign policy successes
Cmon, there must be some, and plenty of her supporters in this thread. Can we hear them? We're going to need to know them to support her in the General if she somehow gets the nom. How she got there was typical political trading, I'm not too miffed about that. But what would I tell undecideds about her success at the job?
