No.... Just because I liked her answer to Trump does not mean I would dismiss her record. Not to mention the fact that her position on major issues, such as abortion, are not close to where I stand on those issues.

But, just because she isn't the candidate for me doesn't mean I can't appreciate a one liner that shut the clown up for a few minutes.

But of course, I was just venting and she probably had her line configured in advance just waiting to launch it. So not really impressed.

She sure took the wind out of that blowhard's sails.

Personally, I believe she's received some passes due to gender...

...but that's probably just me.

For the record I am opposed to anyone, candidate or otherwise, that dumps on Trump for the next six months or so. Trump on top of the GOP ticket is a gift to mankind, pun intended.

I agree.

Do you think if she were a male candidate she would have been given that question for her big moment?

I kind of doubt it.

Exactly.

And the moderators had the softball question ready to pitch to her.

It was a set up all the way.

Apparently if her lips are moving, she's lying.

Her HP tenure is a huge albatross around her neck. Barbara Boxer made that abundantly clear.

Yeah, but the California electorate is quite a bit more astute than the electorate in the Red States.

I don't think she has a chance in Hell of getting the nomination, but she may have a good shot at the VP slot.

And that scares me.
