Covering topics from Benghazi to Syria, from The Donald to the Dems, and from health care to the economy, Hillary Clinton sat down with John Dickerson for a Sunday morning in depth one-on-one. She was detailed, authoritative, and unhesitating in response to a wide range of questions and thoroughly relaxed in her signature warm and personable way.
Hillary reminded the audience that when Benghazi was under attack other embassies also were being threatened, i.e. more than one mission (anywhere from 12-18) was under some form of assault. Benghazi was one of these.
She also spoke of her efforts early to to prevent the crisis we see today for the Syrian people – efforts that have been outlined here many timesbefore.
While she faulted Donald Trump in particular for fostering a toxic, biased atmosphere, and Republican candidates in general for attacking policies and programs from Planned Parenthood to Obamacare, she refused to make any statement about Democratic opponents declared or otherwise. She made it crystal clear that the battle right now is between the major parties and not among Democrats. She also made it clear that she considers Bernie Sanders to be under the latter umbrella. “I want this to be about ideas and about policies.” She stated that she has no interest in attacking Bernie. (I hope everyone on her side of the campaign heard that loud and clear.)
As for persistent declarations that her persona is inauthentic, she laughed it all off rather musically. That is the real Hillary, folks!
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Sunday that the United States should accept 65,000 refugees from Syria to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis created by the war there.
“We’re facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II and I think the United States has to do more,” the former secretary of state said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in.”
She said there should be a focus on admitting the most vulnerable, like persecuted religious minorities, or those who had been brutalized, like the Yazidi women.
Clinton also said, “I want the United States to lead the world,” and said the United Nations Secretary General should call for a meeting at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly meeting in which countries make specific commitments about to provide money and aid.
Hillary Clinton said she and her team are not taking steps to prepare for a possible late entry into the Democratic presidential primary by Vice President Joe Biden.
“This is such a personal decision and the vice president has to sort this out,” Clinton said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “He’s been so open in talking about how difficult this time is for him and his family and he’s obviously considering what he wants to do including whether he wants to run.”
“I just have the greatest respect and affection for him and I think everybody just ought to give him the space to decide what’s best for his family,” she added.
I don’t see any vitriol against Bernie Sanders from Hillary supporters.
I do see contempt for some of his supporters that spread out over the internet to say terrible things about our candidate.
Also, many of us are angry at the so called liberal media that goes after Clinton relentlessly.
Take a look at Salon’s front page, today.
There are two articles telling us that there’s a new sheriff in town and Hillary might as well pack it up.
Still talked about it in the other threads. She had viscious attacks on boards where she moderates.
Also, surely many of the Bernie supporters are Rs in disguise. We have to, for the most part, take the high road as we normally always have done. Stopping the smears isn’t attacking.
Do not feed the trolls is always hard advice to take because they just BEG to be answered, don’t they? grrrrrrrrrrr….. they are crazy making.
I just took down yet another anti-Bernie meme from a Facebook thread right under this post at a Hillary group. The Supporters group is alive with anti-Bernie posts. I don’t take those down because the owner has not banned them. I remove them from Hillary Clinton Express.
When she wore that color recently the Rs tried to say it was prison orange.
That color has meaning to some of us. She looks great in any color from grey to red but when she wears orange it takes me back to another time and place.
Lots of pink this time around too! Love the NH T-shirts someone made of the white house and the saying “run like a girl” on a neon pink shirt. They made them by hand and sold them for $10 and sold out.
OMG get out the Kleenex. I just saw this on a message board.
Kim Noles – When Bill Clinton was governor of AR, my 11 year old cousin with Down’s wrote him a letter about the lack of special education available in rural AR (they lived in a town with less than 800 residents, and that counted the outlying farms). Mr Clinton not only responded to him and helped fund special education classes, he and Secretary Clinton(yes, she was the governor’s wife then) both wrote personal letters and sent personal messages on Christmas cards. They continued this after Governor Clinton was elected President. All this for a little boy who wasn’t old enough to vote. When he was dying, one of my family managed to get news to the White House, and the President made a personal phone call to Mark. He also Fed-Exed a picture of his family, which they all signed with personal wishes. Mark was buried with that picture. If they can do that for a handicapped child, who didn’t live to be old enough to vote, and lived in the middle of nowhere, I say they are both good people. Yes, they may have faults (who doesn’t) but if they can expend that amount of time, energy and care for Mark, think of the amount they spend on the rest of us.
yes they are wonderful hearts. Truly genuine people with feelings, caring people who think of others. I hope more such real-life stories come to light.

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report
Hillary because…
She would NEVER have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."
Read the unclassified ARB Report on Benghazi here.
@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!

She is so far above everyone running it is so obvious.
As fantastic as she was in 07/08 she is even better now. They are going to have a very hard time trying to trip her up.
And like she said in her glorious NH speech – she is just getting warmed up!
