Yes, very worried. But it will be America's fault, not Hillary's. God himself could proclaim that Hillary Clinton is the second coming of Jesus and there'd still be a huge number of people holding her to ridiculous standards and hating her guts.

The scariest part, for me, is how her being a woman will play into the dynamics of the race. For a long time, especially before the rise of Sanders, I really anticipated that Hillary would get Obama treatment and her campaign would end up being a feminist movement with real appeal for its potential to make history. With Sanders and Trump, the movement has been and will continue to be seriously blunted, and I fear Trump will be able to shout her down and use the man card to rip her apart. I guess I fear that the men's rights crowd will win the day. The discussion around sexism is today more nuanced than the discussion about race was in 2008... and when you're explaining, you're losing.

Barring another Mike Dukakis tank moment, I think Hillary's handlers are going to put her into a box and not let her out for the rest of the general election. Focus on nothing more than presenting an alternative to Trump and talk some economics.

This was surprisingly prophetic.

She did nothing more at all besides be an alternative to Trump and give some lip-service to economics, and instead of a Dukakis Tank, it was James Comey and one letter.


Yes, Yes, and Yes. She ran a terrible campaign. She was the one candidate who ended up losing to DONALD TRUMP.

I will curse her name until my last breath.

In that case, it can't come soon enough.
