1. Hillary is using tactics I have observed in little kids
She has irritated all the people in the room and has taken to screaming at the top of her lungs inorder to get attention.

"I can still win! I can still win! I want Florida counted! I want Michigan counted! I can still ... "

3. I liked yesterday's story better--that Hillary was already told NO on VP!!
This needs to be behind us quickly...there ae better candidates who can offer more.

4. When I used to teach... I had a 'negotiating' technique ...
When a student got into a snit, a tantrum, an argument...

I told them I never made decisions when emotion was involved.
They needed to calm down, take a 'break' before any conversation would continue.

If they insisted on their little power trip, the answer to any of their demands
would be 'no.' No conversation, no negotiation, no nothing.

Acting like a spoiled child garnered nothing.

That technique also came into play with demanding parents...
"Let's act like adults, shall we?"

9. Of course!
The Clintons are the absolute embodiment of evil. No doubt they invented childhood diseases and distemper in puppies. I get it.
