The most flawed female president ever (or so say the pukes and misogynists)

The most flawed female president ever
If there’s one thing lefty Hillary-haters love the most, it’s lists. Lists of all her perceived failures, of her obvious corruption, her warmongering, her lies, of this or that banking scandal or support for questionable legislation, or even more spurious proof that, despite full-throated support for Planned Parenthood and innumerable pro-women issues over the years, and despite being relentlessly attacked as an aggressive, non-feminine “feminazi,” she’s no “real” feminist, all due to some perceived slight, attack or negative messaging at one point, years ago, about something that might have happened, or not, according to someone else.
Here’s the amazing thing: Hillary’s camp rarely responds. Not anymore. Save for deflecting all the fantastically flaccid Republicans on all the various anti-Hillary Benghazi committees, she rarely seems to expend any energy attempting to refute all the claims against her, true or not.
Maybe she knows it’s futile. Maybe she knows that, no matter what she says, now matter how much evidence to the contrary she procures, no matter if some of the allegations against her true or are total right-wing hate-mongering BS, or just misunderstood, or simply no worse or better than any of her male peers on either side of the aisle (including Obama), she knows that attempting to correct the record only inflames her detractors more, gives them reason to accuse her of covering up “the truth,” such as it is, or isn’t, according to them.
. . . . .
What is her forte? Just ask anyone who knows her: Personal connection. Networking. Identifying the problem, and then making a plan to fix it. And then fixing it. Follow-through. Getting things done. Genuine warmth, humor and formidable intelligence. Doing what Traister called “the real work of politics,” making her way through a thousand issues and causes at once, in the grit and meat of it, every single day, usually without fanfare, without melodramatic newsworthiness, without much by way of acknowledgement by the Left, or the media, or anyone else.
. . . . .
As Ezra Klein’s fascinating piece at Vox pointed out: We are not used to this. Hillary’s methods are not so easily tracked, much less lauded. After all, this is not the way men do it. The entire American political infrastructure was designed from Day One for the masculine mode of boast, dominance, force, threat, steamroll, attack, convince and conquer and boast some more. It is most certainly not Hillary’s (more feminine) strengths of listening deeply, offering real empathy, taking careful notes, building coalitions, making connections, remembering everything and everyone and then, over and over again, taking action. Getting it done. Workhorse. Workaholic. Policy wonk. Determined and stoic and sort of boring, as she does more for the progressive cause than her haters will ever allow, because OMG look at her (loud, GOP-inflamed, easily to find and even easier to parrot) faults! Look at her Iraq vote! Look at her lying about email! Look at her terrible hair! And so on!

if you want to be technical 
Today I had a conversation with someone who claims to be an independent. He HATES Michele Obama and Hillary Clinton. When I told him that every time I hear that it comes from a man, he said that his wife hates them both too.
He thought Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were decent presidents though.
Doesn't like Trump, won't vote for Hillary. But if she gets in, it will be good to have Bill Clinton back in the White House.
Men.
