Ken was one of the people she went out of her way to personalize her response for, IIRC.

She did, she was like "I'm guessing you're in the industry?" or something similar. Small touch, but definitely one that helped show she wants to connect with people personally. Ken Bone was possibly the only person in the audience to ask something approaching a substantive question, as it actually encompassed numerous factors in energy policy rather than just being some "COAL GOOD? COAL BAD?" idiocy, so that probably clued her in as well. Probably one of those STEM types who is really smart in his field and not so much outside of it, but he's clearly one goony motherfucker, so I can't bring myself to scorn him. :shobon:

Yeah, and it worked great. Plus, that was in a case where it wouldn't be interpreted as an attack by the party.

Like, to Trump and the Base, anything less than full lockstep support looks like a backstab and Trump is going to lash out.

imho its kinda bad that the groping tape came out just in time to overshadow, say, trump's fanatical desire to lynch several already-exonerated black teens, which was re-entering the public eye

but I'm sure the clinton campaign is glad for it, there being more room to gain among white women than among any of the other demographics trump has spewed hate-speech against

I dunno about courage

more a pragmatic "hell, Trump ain't gonna win this thing and we still want to try and exist as a party afterwards. People will want to rally to the people who were voices of reason during this weird time...maybe me?"

Sorry, I only watched a bit of the video and I thought she was saying she tried to ask Clinton a question, and was wondering why Clinton perpetuated sexual assault. I also thought the OP said /r/the_donald and 4chan were boosting the video.

I guess misinterpreting a video is indicative of me being a horrible monster who hates all sexual assault victims and thinks they're all lying fakers. It doesn't take much to make you people absolutely freak out.

Maybe if you only watched part of the video, and weren't even sure of what was happening, you should have asked questions rather than authoritatively stating a bunch of poo poo that was obviously wrong to literally every other human being who used their senses of hearing and sight on the video? :shrug:
