Reply #15: Sorry, Didn't Mean To Be So Short

[Forrest Greene]

I've had a long day.

The "Hillary" thing really does puzzle me, as it seems many people would consider it a form of infantilizing or condescension, especially in the context of a political campaign. I haven't noticed any of the male candidates being referred to similarly.

"Branding," especially as "friendly," raises concerns. You may recall GW Bush was also branded as friendly. "The guy you'd like to have a beer with." Turned out, when we had our beers, GW played a lot of crap on the jukebox, vomited on our Hush Puppies, left with the waitress, & stuck us with the tab.

So I'm a bit twice burned, three times shy about all that.

I don't want a friend as the President, I want a competent administrator with a functional human soul. Some will no doubt say "Then vote for Hillary," but FWIW, personally, I don't think she qualifies.
