There was a funny contrast yesterday with Bernie. He was asked about his brother's comment that he was quite the athlete. His answer that families exaggerate, then saying he was good, not great was wonderful. If Hillary had ben captain of any team, I doubt that would be how she phrased it.

I have worked for people who monopolize all credit for any work done out of their group and I worked for people who were supportive, and shared credit. Beyond the fact that it was so much less stressful and more rewarding to work for the latter, they set the tone for the group. They encouraged collaboration and building on each other's work.

Here, she is taking credit for things that she clearly did not do and everyone in the know knows this. However, no one will say anything because it is still very likely this flawed person will be our nominee.


I have the same response to her email dance. I can well understand why the SD has had trouble filling all the extra positions they created. I do not think I ever saw a more lose/lose situation. The best they ever could have done was to get everything out with no slips that put classified stuff out on time. Has that happened, still no praise and the story would revert to the lack of security and the fact that years after the fact, her team did the first split between work and personal. In fact, the entire gigantic effort was designed by HRC just to distract from the real problem - that she did this in the first plsce.
