1. great stuff to see, thanks. nt

[bvf]

2. Yeah, who would have thought

Hillary Clinton actually ate food?

[BootinUp]

3. bored, are you?

[bvf]

7. Not bored enough to consider

pictures of her eating worthy of an OP.

How about that? She consumes food! Alert the media!

[oberliner]

27. Maybe if a bird landed on her table?

Something along those lines?

[bvf]

40. If she ate it, sure.

[oberliner]

41. It's good that we can all have a sense of humor

It's gotten a little ugly sometimes.

[bvf]

45. Ouch, but it hurts to agree.

[bigtree]

4. here ya go

...good times.

[bettyellen]

16. she mostly doesn't when there are cameras- because people would try to take the most unflattering

and often sexist pics of women eating, it's not worth it. Kind of like how I learned not to eat in the streets around my job near Times Square. Too disturbing the ugliness you get exposed to.

[bvf]

17. Like the OP, I merely found the fact

that Hillary Clinton ingests food to be an earth-shattering revelation.

"Vote for Hillary! She metabolizes! In the presence of cameras!"

That's about the best anyone here has yet to come up with as a reason to vote for her.

[bettyellen]

18. Oh please, millions of voters have their reasons. and they don't need you to approve of it.

was just correcting your post saying she was actually eating- because god forbid....

[bvf]

19. "Reasons"? By all means, continue!

[bettyellen]

22. not playing let's pretend you haven't heard them before. but a big part of it is we have not bought

into the RW smears and know she is the smartest and most qualified, as well as liberal candidate. We did not drink the Hillary hate kool aide.

[bvf]

25. Nice reasons there. I expected nothing more.

You didn't disappoint.

[bettyellen]

28. this is all a game to you. This attitude is why voters are repelled by the campaign.

I am not going to repeat what you have already doubtless heard again and again- only to watch you cut and paste the same answer we have seen since January.

[bvf]

29. It's anything but.

You obviously have nothing.

[bettyellen]

34. Listen to yourself, the arrogance and petulant games are all you have to offer.

Seriously, I doubt most of you guys have spent five minutes talking to undecided voters in the real world- because you'd then find out how bad you are at it.

[bvf]

38. Still nothing. Keep going.

[Surya Gayatri]

42. "Arrogance and petulant games", plus silly non-sequiturs.

A level of triviality and pettiness rarely encountered on DU.

Not worth the trouble of a cogent reply. Why do you even bother? Ignore is the best policy.

Meh...

[bvf]

44. Well, if you want triviality,

we could go with pointing out that there's no hyphen in non sequitur, or that people inclined to whip out Latin phrases in sad attempts to appear educated often have yet to master their native language.

Ignore away. No problem there, believe me.

[Beacool]

20. Yes, she wants to avoid these kinds of pics.

30. LOL, Michelle B, hehehehehehehehe

OK that is a funny pics

[bvf]

32. Seems easy enough

not to look as if you're eating a penis.

Is that what she's afraid of?? And you want to see this organism in the White House?

Good god.

[Beacool]

35. This organism???

That's it. You obviously are not a serious poster. BTW, she was already in the WH for 8 years.

[bvf]

39. That, to you, is a qualification?

Laura Bush also spent eight years in the White House.

So did Nancy Reagan.

Seriously? You're going with that?

[Beacool]

48. Are you dense or are you pretending to be so?

Her more than proven qualifications include 8 years as senator of a major state and 4 years as SOS.

Far more qualified than a senator from a tiny, mostly white, NE state.

[bvf]

49. I wasn't the one insisting that

eight years as First Lady was qualification for anything.

That was you. Now tell me how that same tenure qualifies Laura Bush.

Would Joe McCarthy have been fit for the White House? After all, he spent ten years in the Senate, so I suppose he would have been more qualified than Clinton by your lights.


And take the race-baiting elsewhere. There are some similarly inclined folks around here under indefinite review that you would feel right at home with.

[Beacool]

50. No, I was pointing out that she had already lived in the WH.

Therefore, asking whether one would want "this organism" in the WH was a moot point.

[bvf]

51. Way to split hairs.

She did enough damage in those eight years, in her limited capacity. That was plenty for a lot of people, some of whom are wasting away in prison for the unspeakable crime of smoking pot (and enriching many of her backers in the process).

[Armstead]

37. Those eyes in the Michelle photo are what do it

[Lucinda]

5. KNR

[ismnotwasm]

6. One of the reasons why she won

Is she is reaching out and listening to a variety of people, in fairly smaller settings, letting them see her, listen to her, getting to know her-- AND she listening to people, seeing people, getting to know people.

Love the pictures!

[lunamagica]

8. Exactly. She INTERACTS with people. Instead of acting like a rock star, or some unreachable figure

talking, lecturing at rallies, she mingles with people one-on-one, talking and listening.

I love this about her!

[NurseJackie]

9. Bernie talks. Hillary listens.

[pmorlan1]

10. Bernie talks. Hillary listens.

You are correct. Whenever Bernie talks, Hillary listens. It's been apparent throughout the campaign that Hillary is a follower and Bernie is a leader. That's why she keeps copying his positions.

[NurseJackie]

11. "Bernie is a leader" ... Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! :-P

So he's leading from behind? You ARE aware that he's not going to be the nominee, right?

[pmorlan1]

12. I've always heard

he who laughs last, laughs best.

[NurseJackie]

13. :-)

[pmorlan1]

14. Back at you

[Beacool]

21. You have a point there.

When she ran for the Senate she went on a "listening tour" of NY. The media and some politicians smirked at her, but it won her the election. What's more interesting is that she actually listens. She takes mental notes and her aides write down specifics. When she entered the Senate she kept a low profile and learned the ropes, ditto when she became SOS. She has the capacity to absorb huge amounts of information. I think that as president she would do the same. Listen, learn, make educated decisions based on what she's learned and work very hard.

[bettyellen]

23. that is the thing- she follows through also. Like in Flint, while SBS called for someone to be

fired, she worked out and aided an assistance plan. But calling for people to get fired is a great publicity stunt.

[Beacool]

24. Yes, she follows through.

[bettyellen]

26. but people here think that helping is "bribing" and building coalitions is "pandering" which I guess

is a useful POV since if you are a two issue voter- and you can't achieve results on either of those issues for years..... you need excuses for the lack of support.

[bigtree]

43. there are apparently mature people promoting the virtues of agitation, which is fine and good

...but, then going on to denigrate those who are prepared to manage the political realities when transforming that agitation to action.

They're mirroring this irresponsible 'revolution' from a career pol who should know better. Shoddy leadership promoting an amazingly shortsighted and implausible plan for legislative success.

I can understand that obtuseness in an activist, but not for someone looking to be actually charged with executing a progressive agenda from the White House.

[bettyellen]

46. implausible plan sums it up for me. easy to be "against everything" and achieve nothing.

31. K & R

Thanks

[Demnorth]

33. Those photos

tell us a lot about interacting with the people.

When you want to talk to someone, it's a monologue. When you want to talk with someone, that's a dialogue - and it shows you care what they think.

Rallies don't vote, people vote!

[whatchamacallit]

36. So impressive!

[Cha]

47. Nice pics.. mahalo bigtree~
