Coherent, informed, succinct, logical, rational, experienced, and that is without checking the thesaurus for other adjectives under 'What a president should be'. Now just put a Dis, il, un, in front of them and we have King T. Sad.

We still have no power here. Little gas, no ice, hard to find bottled water (our water has to be boiled) ha-ha- kind of hard to do when you have no way to heat it.

She is bedridden so we really can't do much. I was fanning her and wiping her with a wet cloth which she put on top of her head. Someone was saying people were dying in nursing homes here. We do have a nurses aide who comes twice a day and is with her for 5 hours so that does help.

I'm so happy to see and hear her, to feel that gut level security that comes from your very life being in a responsible person's hands, even in fantasy.

The fact she is alive, strong, nasty as fuck and free to show us what we need and what we still need to seek...that's restorative.

watching her speak clearly, concisely, intelligently makes me want to cry yet again. She was wonderful. She's not mincing her words about Trump, Comey, and the "clear and present danger." Finally, she can speak out.

I'm still with her.

I thought her entire performance in that interview, and especially how she handled the questions about Comey, was brilliant. The contrast between the way she called into question Comey's questionable actions regarding the email "scandal" without impugning the reliability of his testimony and the way Trump assaults the character of anyone who displays anything less than blind loyalty could not have been more clear.

to set the tone and make the contrast between Clinton and 45* crystal clear to even the dumbest trumpeters. Clinton is smart, prepared, thoughtful, and she truly loves her country. I believe her 100% when she describes how she'd react if the situation were reversed.

The way she said it, though, was interesting. It gave me odd hope, I guess, that someone could step in and end this madness legally.

It was terrific, both in terms of the questions and the responses. It wasn't a gotcha interview but Rachel asked some hard questions.

I really liked Rachel's take away at the end about Facebook, as we are seeing that become a larger and larger issue.
