I read something within the last couple of weeks that might explain all the thin skinned alerts, the fact that there's a whole generation out there now that's grown up with the net and the ability to filter out anything they don't like. When they come here, they not only see a wide variety of opinion, a lot of it isn't what they're used to seeing from the sea of heads nodding in agreement with them.

Clinton is at her best standing up to Republicans. When she's debating non Third Way Democrats, the flaws start to show up.

I love when she does that. She lays them to waste. When debating other liberals she doesn't do nearly as well. In fact she loses it.

Clinton is exceptional at swatting down nonthreatening straw men.

call into question what she's actually does and she has a meltdown and starts yelling about 9/11.

She has to understand all of her opponents are not Republicans. Some of them are very liberal and take exception to her right wing policies.
