For those suggesting HRC's success is based on being FLOTUS

[Henhouse]

Hillary has been making a name for herself since she was 22. Long before she met Bill while campaigning for McGovern in 1972

By the time she graduated from Wellesley in May 1969, Hillary Rodham was already such a notable figure that she was featured, along with four other speakers from four other schools — and excerpts from their commencement addresses — in the June 20, 1969, issue of LIFE, in an article titled, simply, “The Class of ’69.”

LIFE With Hillary: Portraits of a Wellesley Grad, 1969

div class="excerpt"]
Intelligent, intensely curious and, from a young age, driven to find a way to somehow contribute to the world around her, Hillary Rodham enrolled at Wellesley College in the fall of 1965. It was there, in Massachusetts, that the moderate Republican underwent her transformation (she might characterize it as “an evolution”) to committed Democrat.

3. You know what she did there to 'earn' that press?

She broke her word to the President of Wellesley College, she was rude to the Commencement Guest Speaker, Senator Ed Brooke who basically gave a ho hum graduation address and she gave off the cuff remarks challenging him and giving herself the limelight.

She hasn't changed one bit.

It's all about Hillary, all the time.

9. And um, 'intelligent'? She failed the DC Bar exam and then went to Arkansas

She neglected to tell us that little factoid for decades.

Probably because it doesn't 'square' with her image as 'the smartest person in the room', that's she has been cultivating for decades.

My honest to God impression of her is that she has never seen a microphone in a public setting she doesn't want to grab.

13. Hmmmmm

4. I don't think her time at Walmart and the Rose law firm would have helped her

become a Senator in New York.

Let's be real.

6. I don't think anyone disagrees that she is smart. In fact, that's what makes some of this

absolutely fascinating. Lots of smart people get on a track that doesn't lead to the presidency. Many smart people become too smart...get full of themselves and start acting dumb. Bernie is smart, as well. So is Bill Clinton and most politicians. They most all have law degrees and other significant talents.

Smart also does not mean ethical, trustworthy or a servant of the people. She has most definitely leaned on men to get her to where she is. This is her own battle now, so we'll see even with the enabling of the entire Democratic Establishment what happens.

But that will pale as to the GE. Personally, I don't think she'll make it. And it has absolutely nothing to do with her native intelligence. She has made seriously flawed choices.

8. Yep. From Goldwater Girl to Goldman Sachs...

Dragging the Real Democratic Party down for her amoral "New Democrat" ambitions...

11. BINGO n/t

7. Interesting

Another long dead account just happens to become active again in the last 90 days.

10. Paranoid much...Yes, I created an account in 2002 in the event that Bernie Sander's runs Pres. n/t

12. Of course this is off topic, but I fail to get the hypersensitive nature of

DUers who think someone with a low post count has the political IQ to match. Since we are mostly anonymous, someone with a degree in political science at some time will be at 1 post. On here, they would be transferred to the netherworlds until such time as their post count qualifies them for stating their opinion.

Silly oneupmanship.

[Duckhunter935]

14. Not paranoid

Just pointing out our some very interesting coincidences. Lot of dead accounts came to life in the last few months. Lots of new Hillary accounts showed up to smear and insult Bernie supporters in the last 90 days. The amnesty just happened to also happen then. And Brock started to pay for posts about then also. It is no secret that the Admins are very proud Hillary supporters and they control the accounts.

16. As long as you opened the discussion...

Your account has several features I have seen lately in a few other posters. 14 years ago you signed up and made exactly 11 posts-for a new poster you have to make 10 replies to existing posts and then your 11th post can be your 1st original post and you are a full poster. So anyhow you opened a full vetted account and then went completely silent for 14 years until you started posting in the last 3 months.

And if you think anyone who checks that should not have suspicions then you are crazy...but if you have an explanation....
