    50/50. Haven't met you. Ok, 50 percent chance you're a girl. Then 20 percent chance you're hot.

    100 percent chance if everyone on Earth but me and one woman on Earth die.....the woman will be Crandc and she'll kill me.

    NY Times review:

    You may have heard that “What Happened” is angry. It’s true. Or defiant, anyway. Love it or loathe it, chafe at it or cheer it; you will now see, for the first time, what it looks like when Clinton doesn’t spend all of her energy suppressing her irritation. Former FBI director Comey gets it on the chin; so does the mainstream media, this newspaper very much included. She’s got a special rucksack of descriptors for Trump (“hateful,” “a fraud”), whom she says is pulverizing democratic norms into a paste. “He doesn’t just like Putin,” she writes. “He seems to want to be like Putin, a white authoritarian leader who could put down dissenters, repress minorities, disenfranchise voters, weaken the press, and amass untold billions for himself. He dreams of Moscow on the Potomac.”

    Cringing? Yes, I am. Not after seeing Hillary Clinton on Rachel Maddow, nothing said there made me cringe. What makes me cringe is seeing this intelligent, knowledgeable, articulate, courteous woman, who clearly cares what happens to the country and the world, and then realizing the occupant of the White House is not only a hard right reactionary but profoundly ignorant, stupid, mean, petty, vengeful, vain, vulgar, corrupt man who cares only for his wealth and ego, is bothered more by an ESPN anchor than by hurricanes and nuclear threats. That makes me cringe.

    Hillary lost because of one reason:

    She did not inspire people. She did not get the people to get out and vote.

    Trump beat her with only 2 million more votes than Romney had in 2012. He won because he stole some states that had swung Democrat in 2008 and in 2012. The GOP lost the last two elections because they brought out a couple of boring career politicians that didn't inspire people. McCain and Romney were about as cardboard as you can get, and the Dems obviously didn't learn their lesson because Hillary is basically the same kind of politician. Boring, uninspiring, and just another slice of the same old bullshit.

    Dang @crandc, in general I agree with a great deal of what you post but now you're sounding like a left wing Trumpette. That you see Hillary Clinton as you have described her makes you as indecipherable as those folks who think Trump can do no wrong. I'm more open minded than most but your vision of HRC just doesn't match the reality. There are other "as qualified" female candidates that deserve your descriptives but HRC clearly isn't one of them. She's just a mirror image of Trump......that you (and other left learners) can't see that is as incomprehensible as those who can't clearly see who and what Trump is.

    And I don't understand people who say things 'she's just a mirror image of Trump', that's just an absurdly false equivalence. Like saying Burger King is crap, and so is dog crap.

    I wouldn't object to saying that she was an awful candidate, or that she's got problems with honesty and/or corruption, or that she's beholden to special interests, etc. etc. Arguments can be made for those things.

    But those are 'normal' politician problems. Trump goes way, way beyond that.

    See, later on barfo will say they aren't the same.

    I say they aren't because Hillary has spent decades in politics making sure to only lie about certain things and when doing so to be politically correct about it.

    That's the main difference in my opinion.

    In other words, she's a politician. If all we are saying is 'a pox on all politicians', then ok. That isn't a terribly useful statement, unless you are planning a different system of government.

    Ok. So you discount, for instance, knowledge of and interest in world affairs?
