Do you think that Hillary's statement brought on the attacks and the polarization between the parties? Is there some kind of causality behind your statement?

No, but I think she is incapable of getting beyond the partisan bickering, and it will characterize her entire presidency, and the political tone in this country for years to come.

She is also unlikely to win a general election by more than a whisker given the ceiling her negatives create; so the chances of her having a broad mandate to govern are slim.

Also would you not like a return to the structure of the economy we had during the Clinton administration?


Total non sequitur there - were we discussing economic policy? I thought this was about political styles.

I see very little difference between Hillary and Obama on most policy issues, and could happily live with the policy results of each. I could also be comfortable with a moderate Republican approach if one existed (not this time around).
