I don't believe that THIS was the intended result ...

The scandal-mongers must be aghast!

I Was One of the Most Ardent Hillary Haters on the Planet…Until I Read Her Emails http://bluenationreview.com/i-was-a-hillary-hater-until-i-read-her-emails/



I have a confession to make: In 2008, I was one of the most ardent Hillary Clinton haters on the planet. I was ferocious about how much I didn’t want her to win the primaries, and I rejoiced the day she gave her concession speech.
...
Her tenure as Secretary of State, of course, led to the bogus email scandal, which in turn led to the slow-​drip release of the emails on her home server. ​I decided I was going to read them.​

In those emails, I discovered a Hillary Clinton I didn’t ​even ​know existed​.​

I found a woman who cared about employees who lost loved ones. I found a woman who, without exception, took time to write notes of condolence and notes of congratulations, no matter how busy she was. I found a woman who could be a tough negotiator and firm in her expectations, but still had a moment to write a friend with encouragement in tough times. She worried over people she didn’t know, and she worried over those she did.

And everywhere she went, her concern for women and children was ​clearly ​the first and foremost ​thing on her mind.

I should have known the you would have seen - and posted - it first. You are always way ahead of me!

It IS a great photo! Photos of Hillary with kids are almost as good as those of kids with PBO and FLOTUS. Almost.

what else the OP was about.. maybe just the pic.. then maybe the writer of this story liked it and used it for her story.. 'cause it really goes with it.

It's really good to see this pic again.. it's priceless!

It's is sad how hate can be spread without being checked. So much hate is created by what we see on TV or hear from talking heads and leaders, many of which run under the disguise of religious leaders.

...and smeared it with everything they can find. She has become a venting outlet and unfortunately the real Hillary Clinton is forced to deal with all the consequences and negativity--as if being a strong woman isn't hard enough.

Democrats are RW.

On DU, there are some who actually seem to believe that. Of course, they are primarily libertarians - or GOPer trolls - who post on DU simply to create divisions between actual Democrats where none actually exist.

Yes, the best thing to do is to laugh at them. And then pity and ignore them. What pathetic lives they must lead when every day is filled with some new poutrage!

I remember reading this, but thanks for posting it; it's wonderful and a reminder of how great our next president will be! I've heard from other sources also that she truly cares about people, particularly her staff. She makes sure they make doctor's appointments if needed, worries about their problems "sometimes excessively!" said one staffer.
