Hillary Clinton interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, the former secretary of state said bluntly face to her husband, she would win. “Extrointrovert”, Clinton answered, saying that she “loves” spending time with people on the campaign trail but she also likes to spend time alone to “think and relax, and sleep, and stuff like that”.

“She supported the war in Iraq, in Afghanistan”, Paul said.
The host had each candidate choose from a deck of cards containing more informal questions.
“First dude, first mate, first gentleman?” I’m not a former independent.
“While you’re actually in China, would he be selecting it?” “Yeah, I had two brothers, so I kinda get all of this”, she told the children.
Clinton described watching and live-tweeting the GOP debates as a “combination of being appalled and being amused”. “If the Supreme Court said, ‘No, it violates the 8th Amendment, it’s cruel and unusual punishment, ‘ I would breathe a sigh of relief about that”. And despite the personal and often incoherent attacks leveled by the Republicans on the committee, Hillary never lost her composure. Aides say he hasn’t changed his position, arguing he long backed continuing the federal investigation into her use of a private server.
When asked if she felt sorry for Jeb Bush and his beleaguered campaign, she took the high road. In fact, she acted almost if neither men were there. “And he is out there making his case”. I don’t know. I’m not an expert.
The same was true with her appearance on Kimmel.
“What the far right did very successfully is really to engender a lot of fear and a lot of anxiety and create this backlash against the ordinance”, Clinton said. “Yeah”, she joked with Kimmel.
Hillary’s said it herself many times. “You start with something, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll stick with it all the way”. Make the Repubs defend every House district, and every State and local election – eventually the sheer numerical dominance of the political center-left will overwhelm the increasingly aging white Repub base – as it does on the presidential election level.

I think there are millions of Americans who are deeply disappointed in the president; who believe that, with regard to Social Security and a number of other issues, he said one thing as a candidate and is doing something very much else as a president; who can not believe how weak he has been, for whatever reason, in negotiating with Republicans and there’s deep disappointment. Finally, she allowed, “There are Republicans I could pick, just none of them”. Her account of the tragic events of the night three years ago was moving and emotional, and it was clear that to this day she feels deeply for the losses our diplomatic corps suffered.
