Happy Birthday, Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

What a time she’s been having — the debate, Joe Biden’s non-candidacy announcement and then the total meltdown of the Benghazi Committee. It’s not often these days that a special House investigatory committee makes Democrats sing, but there you are. In a speech on the House floor, Representative Steve Israel claimed Thursday’s marathon inquisition had been like an “I Love Lucy” episode — “same plot, same characters, same script and nothing new.” This seems totally unfair to Lucy. Remember the one with the candy conveyor belt? Vitameatavegamin? How many of you think that 63 years from now, anyone will be saying: “Remember the question about Sidney Blumenthal’s email?”


Heck of a run for Clinton. And to top everything else off, Lincoln Chafee withdrew from the president’s race, leaving the field wide open for her to grab that metrics issue and run with it.

4. Long time Bernie supporter here

I watched most of the hearing and high fives to Hillary for an excellent job keeping her cool in front of those GOP idiots.
She'd make an excellent President.

7. I keep hearing a voice in my head

"Come over to the Clinton side"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. I will be her surrogate...What reservations do you have that I can allay to try and close the sale?

Thank you in advance.

BTW, a "convert" thread would make DU so much more interesting today...

Paid leave -Check
Immigration reform-Check
Increased minimum wage -Check
Adding glbtq folks to the Civil Rights Act-Check
Criminal justice reform-Check
Health care access for everybody regardless of ability to pay-Check
Access to higher education regardless of ability to pay-Check

25. I not there yet.

And I don't know if I'm eloquent enough to begin the move.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I will make believe I am you...

After much sober and dispassionate deliberation I have come to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton is the best choice for president. This isn't a negative reflection on Senator Sanders and Martin O'Malley but an affirmation of my belief that Hillary Clinton in uniquely qualified to be president of the United States by dint of experience, strength of character, and temperament.

11. LOL

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Whatever happens, I'm voting Democrat nominee. . .

. . .whether it's Clinton or Sanders.

No pissing and moaning and staying home for this citizen.

[left-of-center2012]

23. Same here

I like Bernie and what he stands for.
But I see Hillary beating the crap out of the GOP in Nov 2016.

[BootinUp]

6. I Rec everything in OP except

grabbing the metric system issue, lol.

[Fred Sanders]

My daughter missed being born on HRC's birthday by 2 hours. LOL. It's a good time of the year to be born, the weather is finally starting to cool down here in No. FL. and it's beautiful.

Hope Clinton got to spend her birthday having quality time with her family. We are having my daughter's birthday party today and I will have a drink in both of their honor.
