In reply to the discussion: Robert Scheer on Hillary Clinton (he's not a fan) [View all]Cleita
(75,480 posts)21. Thom Hartmann did say this today about Hillary.
She knows how to deal with the Republicans, unlike Obama who thought he could get them to negotiate with them so maybe she is what we need for a President. Apparently, what was implied, was that to be able to govern in Washington, you need to know where the bodies are buried and who buried them. The place is so corrupt I don't think a straightforward person can actually be an effective President anymore. Hell, look how they double crossed Jimmy Carter.
