Hillary Shoulders On

++Hillary seems to have come under fire this past month and the Washington punditry are expressing worries. But they didn't like her anyway.

++Maureen Dowd got her digs in this morning with the column about Popi and his disdain for the Donald. 

++Bernie is catching fire sort of. It is a good thing for the country that a Jewish socialist should be so appealing. There is hope yet.

++But what about Hillary. She was crisp, on message with no gaffes at the DNC meeting in Minnesota. She has called for more debates so don't blame her. She stung the GOP with her remarks about their statements on women's health are like terrorists. 

++While spin may come back to the White House with Hillary,her campaign was quick to show what percentage of permanent delegates she already has. Perhaps an exaggeration but close.

++The people who meet her on the stump characterize her as warm , concerned and talking their issues. 

++The press raises her protectiveness and go into the psychological explanation of her e-mail server.

++Steve Coll in this New Yorker explains where we are on the server issue and why the FBI will take its time. In the last two days, Hillary has calmly explained the e-mail situation several times.

++Somebody criticized Bill on the campaign trail and she snapped back. She is a fighter and don't get between her and her husband. For the general public ,this is a plus. Bill Clinton enjoys the highest approval rating around and Hillary remains on the most admired women list.

++Now the slam on Hillary is that she always wanted to be President. Isn't that the American way?--everyone can grow up to be President. 

++Her vote for the Iraq War was opportunistic. She has already apologized for this a myriad of times. At least she doesn't want to invade again like JEB! and Walker.

++Robert Parry blasts her because Ms. Nuiland at State ,married to neo-conservative Robert Kagan, was directly involved in destabilizing the Ukraine and setting up today's crisis.

++In the future,I'll try and review the web of people and personalities who were behind the Clinton impeachment scheme. They are still with us. Ann Coulter,Bill Maher's favorite conservative,was involved in the "den of elves" who were working on all the women who were supposed to come out saying they had affairs with Bill. Maureen Dowd called for Clinton's resignation. Cokie Roberts thought he should resign for the protection of the presidency. The list goes on about Clinton's detractors in the Democratic Party. Now they carry this grudge against Hillary.

++I still say the election will come down to steadiness and calm. And the GOP has demonstrated none of this. 

++We had our insurgency in 2008. I just wonder whether Hillary's campaign is underplaying the First Woman President for fears the voter can't take two dramatic changes in a row. Perhaps they fear a backlash early. 

++We know Roger Stone has a book coming out this fall on how Both Clintons abuse women. Attack her at her strength--the ole Rove technique. John Kerry remembers it from the 2004 Swiftboaters campaign, which made AWOL Bush look tougher than Kerry.

++Hillary's strength and her weakness this political season is that she comes across as a mature,seasoned politician who has been down these traitorous paths before. Do we want to go down these paths with her? That's the question which the pundits will explore.

++So far,Hillary's poll numbers against rivals and eventually GOP nominees are solid. She sounds like she wants to testify before the #Benghazi! panel which has morphed from" Romney should have won "to #Whitewater 2. 

++Now the attacks have focused on Hillary's top aide,Huma Abedin, who also used a private e-mail account. Republicans have always been aiming at Huma because she is Muslim and married to Anthony Weiner--a twofer.

++So far the Republican candidates have been stingy with their position papers. The Donald hit first with his Immigration paper,Walker and Bush have issued foreign policy statements. On the other hand,Hillary has issued a slew of papers ranging from immigration to her economic policy.

++Hillary also hasn't fallen into the Gore Trap of distancing herself from her former boss,President Barack Obama. At best, she reiterated her position on Syria, which deviated from Obama, but on everything like Obamacare and economic matters she has been supportive.

++For Democrats, remember Gore's distancing resulted in the selection of Joe Lieberman as Vice President. He was supposed to reinforce the idea that the executive branch would be normal and religious.And we sure paid for that.

++It is steady as she goes.

++REMEMBER. SUPREME COURT.
