The closest Hillary Clinton came to a "red phone" moment during her days in the white house was having america find out the sort of marriage that she had chosen to tolerate for years!

She had gotten used to sloppy seconds and was so desensitized to it that she didn't care what Bill did in her home even when she and her child were present.

The crisis arose when every one in the world became aware of what her judgment had led her to accept.

HOW did this woman deal with ONLY crisis that she was charged to handle while she was in the white house?

Hillary has made her ability to deal with a crisis her calling card to the presidency. I think it is damn certainly our business how she handled the only crisis she faced! Moreover, if Chelsea does not feel she should have to speak to it then she should get off the campaign trail. If Bill and Hillary raised a child that cannot handle a simple question without mimicking her mothers bitchiness that speaks very poorly for their parenting skills.

Heretic

Anyone who's going to have the nuclear "Football" [briefcase holding the launch codes] has to assure us they can handle the stress of it.

Seems pretty ridiculous to me that one would ask such a question of chelsea in the first place. I'll say it's either a Obama or McCaine set up. Oh and completely incompetent of the interviewer and publisher; not that that is new as for "media."

Why did they send Chelsea if she was not prepared to answer questions that relate directly to her mother's performance in a crisis? She has no trouble saying that her mother will be ready on Day one or that she has 35 years of experience. Those are assertions that Chelsea makes and she should be prepared to back them up.

If she can't then she should stay home.

Of course----if you know of some other crisis that Hillary dealt with in the 8 years (almost a full quarter of the time she claims as the experience that makes her ready for the CIC test) then maybe you might suggest that questions be addressed to those issues to vet the ready on Day one claim.

I myself cannot think of another crisis.

Supposedly it was from someone who supports Clinton. They interviewed the person who asked the question and he claimed he was a Clinton supporter.

Initially, the press made this look like some bozo asking a bogus question.

They showed Chelsea react with what they deemed a quality response.


I saw the kid on the news this morning, and he came across as credible...a Clinton fan, who articulated the entire question.




I'll agree it is a little dramatic, even graphic. He could have referenced Hillary's way of standing by her man, and whether or not it denotes "weakness", without using the "L" word. Especially if he's a Clinton fan.


I do feel it was a question worth addressing.






Hillary had her eye on the prize long before hubby got elected. Staying with him was a necessity for the sake of his presidency, and ultimately for the sake of her own political career.



Countless thousands of women do the same thing every day, and each has their own special reason for doing it.


There are a handful of men who do the same.

I cannot think of any girlfriend I have ever had who stayed with a
philandering husband because and only because he could get her
the job that she really, really wanted.

The Clinton marriage is their business, but the women who are Hillary
supporters because they feel so sorry for her make me livid.
Bill begged her for a divorce in 1989 and she refused to give it to him.

A person can't refuse to give their spouse a divorce. I mean they can refuse all they want but it won't stop the divorce from happening. If he really wanted a divorce he would have gone through with it.

winthrop

You are, of course, exactly correct. It has not been possible to legally stop a divorce in most states since "no fault" divorce was instituted first in California in 1969, then throughout the nation, with the state of South Dakota being the last holdout until the mid-eighties.
Ms. Clinton has run a disappointing campaign, at best, and for her detractors to have to resort to this kind of petty nonsense says more about them than it does about her or, fortunately, their preferred candidate, who is possession of considerably more class than some of his supporters here.

Yes....... but how many women claim that this time should be examined as a period that gives her credence to be commander in chief.

How many women suggest that they are the best one to deal with a crisis?

Hillary should not have included her time in the WH in her resume in my opinion, but once she did then the Americans would be irresponsible to fail to examine how she dealt with this crisis.

MOREOVER---she claims to have been a close advisor and confidant of her husbands. HOW CLOSE? So close that she could not sense that he was in her how with her and her child getting blown by an intern?

I know women who could tell you if there husband on vacation 1000 miles a way over tipped a waitress he was flirting with----at the moment he was doing it!!

What kind of intuition does Hillary have?

AND---while we are on this ----did she advise Bill on the "I never had sexual relations with that woman?" statement?

Was that Bill's bad judgment or Hillary's bad advise?
