(658 posts)Seriously, who give's a rat's ass. Hillary is a politician. Let us all not forget that. Nor should any of us pretend that she's Mother Teresa. Over her career, she's mis-stepped. She's put her foot in her mouth, etc. BUT, she's also fantastically qualified to lead this country.
Politics is a nasty field. She's a member of it. Let's not glorify her, just support her for the candidate she is after years of doing great good and some questionable, politicky type stuff. We're talking the minor leagues compared to Trump here.
Before anyone thinks I'm maligning HRC, don't. Because, I'm not. I've donated, I'm on Twitter fighting the good fight on her behalf, and looking for ways to volunteer (I live in CA, so not as many options!)
I admire Hillary Clinton tremendously, but I don't expect her to be perfect. I mean, who human is? Thus, the speech text above means very little to me - and yes, I read it, every last word of it. I also believe that the average American isn't going to read it. Wikileaks has dulled, just as "Crooked Hillary" and "33,000 deleted emails" have. It's just no fire, let alone smoke.
