| 8 years after her defeat in Iowa and she opens with THIS? ME ME ME!!!!! Although I've not liked many of her policies forever, I was trying to get to know/like her a little better so I could enthusiastically support her in the GE. This moment confirmed my fears that she'd learned little from her 08' loss. I should note that my wife, who votes Democratic but is mostly apolitical, was PISSED when she saw this. Her opinion; 'That woman is clueless about how people see her."SamKnause

(1,883 posts)Why post an old video that has been posted here numerous times just so you can say you don't like someone you obviously never liked. It's this kind of divisive stuff that keeps everybody on edge around here.
It's a big waste of time.
I do not support any candidate at the moment. I'm happy that there are several potential candidates on the democratic side that have things about them that I like. I hope there are more. I also hope that there are good democratic candidates in other races too.
And by the way the repugs are loving every minute of this sort of bullshit.

(46,179 posts)on September 14th? That's a work day, so I wouldn't have been under a rock. I would have been at work.
Still, I check in once a day for about 20 minutes even then.

(1,300 posts)I've never been a big HRC fan. I am following and supporting Bernie with enthusiasm.
But I was actually somewhat impressed with this admittedly very short vid though more for context could make for an entirely different impression.
This seemed for a seasoned pol to be poking a little fun at herself to me. "You haven't gotten rid of me yet" sort of thing. Even possibly acknowledging that some might have seen more of her than they want.
But she's still standing there!

(9,070 posts)If you don't like someone, fine. DU has plenty of opportunity to learn about candidates, and one more of a thousand old videos adds nothing. All of the candidates will have moments that some will use as attacks - so let the GOP do their best and don't help them along.
Hillary is doing fine with most Democrats. Some people like cats, others like dogs.
I will vote for the Democratic candidate, and Hillary looks like the most experienced liberal who can win right now.

Meh, this video doesn't bother me. It's entertaining.

(1,253 posts)When i worked on the Obama campaign in 08', myself and a few others used to keep an informal tally of how many times Hillary used "I" in her speeches/statements, as opposed to Obama's use of "We". Not even close. This is a problem when it comes to inspiring volunteers and voters. As long as she keeps framing the conversation as being about her, she will not inspire. This is a serious concern, as it speaks to her ability to win in the GE.

(14,177 posts)I am not a Hillary fan, but even I know if she wins the primary she will be our next president. There is no clear electoral vote path for any Republican and it's even unlikely they will come close with the popular vote, the party is toxic and millions more people see that everyday.

(50,322 posts)When she's "herself," she's a fine politician. When they stick a speech in front of her face she's terrible and sounds like someone reading a book report in front of a class. She's the exact opposite of Bernie. Love it or hate it, he speaks from the heart and tells you what he believes, not what a consensus of advisors believes.
