Well, so far they have a 100% correct record of picking the winner! Yay!

And I expect they’ll still be batting 1000 after the election!

even as we are exasperated by others,”

Lemme guess:
• She yells too much
• She doesn’t drink enough water
• She issued mythical stand-down orders in Benghazi
• Emails
• She intends to bomb the entire world into submission so the Clinton Foundation can run things.

Did I miss anything?

David Frum writes for them, so you forgot “smiles incorrectly and too much and too little”.

This is what should stay with us and trump’s face should be rubbed in it.

she is among the most prepared candidates ever to seek the presidency. We are confident that she understands the role of the United States in the world; we have no doubt that she will apply herself assiduously to the problems confronting this country; and she has demonstrated an aptitude for analysis and hard work.

You can support Hillary without being blind to her many flaws. We elect presidents, not messiahs.

Hillary is paranoid and private to a fault. And yes, the emails are problematic
She tends to be closed off to the press and the public.
She’s made mistakes in foreign policy in Libya and Syria, even as she’s had incredible successes elsewhere (Iran Myanmar, New START)
She’s very hawkish and approving of American military action abroad.
She will amplify the current partisan dilemma (though that would be true for any candidate now)

And those are just off the top of my head.

Compared to Trump, Hillary is Mary Poppins!

Sorry to say that if Jesus himself endorsed Clinton, 30-40% of the voters would still not vote for her. The hatred is palpable. I really worry that the GOP has broken our government beyond repair.

“most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency”

I do enjoy a well turned phrase.

“but we are mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, who might be the most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency.”

Pretty much says it all.

Why is an ocean nominating anyone? I mean if it was the Pacific, it would be one thing, but the Atlantic has always been a yuge loser. It’s all wet…

“Means No.”

Hahaha…Lincoln and Johnson and now Clinton? I bet I know exactly what words would go through the head of the first Teatroll you tell this to. No, I’m out of $1 bills for The Jar, so I’ll only type the second one hehe…"_______ lovers".

No. She is guarded and with 100% justification given the treatment by the media and the Firght-Wing™ over the last 25+ years.

No they are not.

No she isn’t.

Wrong on both assertions.

There is zero evidence to support this claim.

“though that would be true for any candidate now”

Yep. Which makes bringing it up worthless.
