Compare that to our senate lol.

Comparing either Trump or Clinton to anyone in the Julio-Claudian clan is giving them more praise than they deserve.

how much time has Hillary Clinton spent in the last couple decades 'in public' and not surrounded by a handpicked court of party sycophants who only care about how influential someone is

Nah I mean like she is a former First Lady and a politician in her own right. She necessarily has to appear to the public even if she is removed from a van, walks two feet to a podium, and is then whisked away. She was unable to speak at all without either being condescending or fed what to say and sounding awkward as poo poo.

the last couple decades

she famously came off as a standoffish, insecure social climber who hated her roots to begin with (versus Bill who capitalized on having come up from nothing and was all about 'feeling your pain') and she just spent 17+ years having smoke blown up her rear end by the insular party machine he created. The poo poo she did on the campaign trail was literally exactly what she'd been doing to stay in power for most of your lifetime, turns out it just doesn't work when the people who actually vote have an alternative, any alternative.

Instead of revamping their message and actually appealing to the working class that believes in them, they're going for crude profanity-laced tirades to appear authentic.

quote:

The last few months have seen expletives ringing from large sections of the Democratic bench. In a New York Magazine profile this month, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) included one “gently caress,” two “loving”s, one “bullshit,” one “pissed off,” one “they suck,” and a “what the hell is going on?" DNC Chairman Tom Perez has awkwardly but assuredly brought profanity into his stump speeches, saying at a January DNC Future Forum, “if you don’t have the trust of the community, then you ain’t got poo poo,” and telling a New Jersey Working Families Alliance event in March that Republicans “don’t give a poo poo about people.” Kicking off an eight-state “Come Together and Fight Back” speaking tour alongside Senator Bernie Sanders in Portland, Maine last week, Perez turned to the president’s spending proposals—“They call it a ‘skinny budget.’ I call it a lovely budget.” By Thursday, the shop at Democrats.org was selling “Democrats give a sh*t about people” shirts.

Tbh there's nothing necessarily wrong with crude profanity-laced tirades. It adds entertainment value to politics which is pretty important to get people to actually pay attention to it and thus do anything about it, a department in which Democrats were noticeably lacking this recent election.

Besides it has deep roots in republican political oratory. Roman senators would call one another gay, flaccid, perfume wearing cocksucking sisterfuckers over tort reform.

The book does say that apparently her friends know her as "fun and foul-mouthed". I'd probably have enjoyed voting for her more if instead of being a managed teleprompted source of endless rubbish platitudes and platforms, she were just a rude old bitch who wanted to be the boss and said as much.

I like this video because it made some people speculate that she was very sick, but you can tell that it's just her trying to specifically calculate how fun and boisterous to be and adding an extra 0.

She looks like she's been drinking on a boat that just hit choppy water.
