The usual flood of editorials and blog posts after a major presidential debate were particularly harsh on Hillary Clinton this morning following Tuesday night’s Democratic debate at Drexel University.
Opinion leaders said her performance reinforced negative stereotypes that Clinton is shrill, calculating and evasive.
Here’s a round up of what some of those opinion leaders are saying:
Mark Halperin, Time Magazine - [She] fell off the tough-shrill balance beam onto the "shrill" side — with a THUD. More defensive than usual, and at times too political and too hot tempered. Borderline disastrous moment at the end when she gave an equivocal answer about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants in New York; it opened the door for her opponents to pounce by turning it into a character issue — and pounce they did. The failure of her performance was cumulative, however, so only those watching the whole debate would see how weak her evening was. If she loses the nomination, tonight will go down in history as the first step to her defeat — no fatal "Dean Scream" catastrophe, but far from her finest moment, to say the least.
Nedra Pickler, Associated Press -Gone was the Clinton who laughed off their answers and joked about how she's lucky to be getting so much attention from all these men at her age. Clinton clearly had decided she must defend herself from rivals who are right on her heels in...
--snip--
Roger Simon, Politico - In a debate against six Democratic opponents at Drexel University here Tuesday, Clinton gave the worst performance of her entire campaign. It was not just that her answer about whether illegal immigrants should be issued drivers’ licenses was at best incomprehensible and at worst misleading. It was that for two hours she dodged and weaved, parsed and stonewalled.

sad thing is, i doubt it makes a bit of difference.
is there anything that says the Anti Christ must be a man?
They aren't stereotypes. They are character flaws..............
...for two hours she dodged and weaved, parsed and stonewalled.

IOW, she was Clintonian. Obama really smacked her down, IMO. I hope he keeps an eye on his cat. Did you notice how she was glaring at Hair when he was critical?
If elected POTUS (God forbid), she'll never survive a press conference..
sw
Hillary can do no wrong with her people....just as Bush can do no right with the same people.
Remember what the FIRST Clinton administration did about the WH Press Corps when they took over in ‘93?.............
Can you imagine what she must have been thinking? I’m sure there were tons of F words.
You asked is there anything that says the Anti Christ must be a man?
To which I always respond... Is there anything that says the Anti Christ must be one person???
The Anti Christ...
I am so sure I could not listen to her address this nation as our President - she sounds like an old crow out there!
Well then she won’t have press conferences. If she has a press conference, she will find a way to control the participants and questions. Never question the Queen or the Pope (of global warming).
She looked like a crow in that crusty black pantsuit.
“...Obama really smacked her down...”
but then he made up to her .. IMO
Speaking of Halloween....
“...Obama really smacked her down...”

Do you remember what he said that made you think that?
the truth, was showning through....the *itchs' spells weren't working last night.
Of course Hillary, like a true liberal, will play the “victim” card and say that everyone is “ganging up” on her ‘cause she’s a woman.
If elected POTUS (God forbid), she’ll never survive a press conference..

Surely, you don’t think she’d get anything but softballs lobbed her way!
No third terms. The whole Bush/Clinton polarization needs to be put out to pasture. Political dynasties are for 3rd world dictatorships. Another Clinton administration would be the end of reasoned national dialogue. JMHO.
The bible refers to him as “he” in a number of places! I don’t think you can “trick” scripture out to make Hillary into the BEAST!
Re: No Wrong Hillary.
Guy on Hannity talk show today said she was qualified because she had “been around Bill for 8 years”. Also look at who is running against her. Honestly, if you were a Democrat who would you vote for? Pretty weak slate - any woman worth their salt could run over them and they wouldn’t even know what happened - IMO
...the *itchs’ spells weren’t working last night.

Did you see the way she was glowering at Hair. It’s a good thing he didn’t make eye contact with her, or it would have set his shiny locks on fire.
I don’t think you can “trick” scripture out to make Hillary into the BEAST!

Seriously, do you actually feel accurate referring to Hitlery as “she”?

Full moon.......with a comet in Perseus............
thank you for the clarification. i don’t need to trick anyone, it may be obvious.
Amen—you are so there. Do you think members of our own side who decide that whichever candidate we nominate isn’t perfect enough to be worthy of their votes could make any difference?
Au contraire Pierre! The press will turn on her like jackels. If it werent so damn important, it would be funny to watch.
If Hillary isn’t the Antichrist, she is certainly the spawn of Satan.
No, Didn't see...but, I'm sure...the Silk Pony's (Breck Girl :) Wife....was there "to protect" him.
“I am so sure I could not listen to her address this nation as our President - she sounds like an old crow out there!”
There could be incoming nukes from somewhere and I still couldn’t bear to listen to the wench if she were prez.
Her big old problem...is...she is not bildabeast...now he was smooth...she was blatantly horrible...it was obvious what she was doing...
Not only that, but there’s no such thing as a stereotype about an individual!
to be honest, i don’t believe that she can foresee the results of her convictions intentions; she is the product of the radicalization of the generation.
it is rare that one can overcome one’s ego to admit mistakes and repent.
Had this dream last night: Many (angry) chickens gathering in the pen, chattering about, while lining up to find the perfect roosting perch!
I was surprised she did not have command of our language and her debating was a disaster. Not quite as bad as Barbara S; but in there.
She is a front. That’s why she’s where she is. All she has to do is be immoral.
All of this will probably truly be forgotten come November 4, 2008!
“ego”
Tammy Bruce nails it when she says that Hillary suffers from malignant narcissism. To her, all else pales in comparison to the importance of the personal interests of Hillary.
Yeah, they installed a door at the bottom of the steps to keep them out of the Press Secretary's office.
What’s so weird about the clintons, is they have done enough illegal, lying, cheating, stealing, and criminal acts during their pathetic lives that we can actually do profiling on them. And it is 100% accurate. Every time.
Well, certainly not the kind Bush has. But hers would be different. They would be love-ins.
Just a garden variety struggling demon who got some lucky breaks.
give her time. She’ll scream like a banshee. Tim Russert who is NOT, never has been and never will be a favorite of mine DID stay on hillleree last night. Give him credit for that. I guess she thinks she is above the frey and says the men are ganging up on her? Hey...she’s in the kitchen now with the big guns...if she can’t stand the heat she should vacate the kitchen. This is equal opportunity now isn’t it?
Hillary!08 should be getting better at this. It’s relatively late in the campaign. It’s a big difference between electrifying and fingernails on a blackboard. You can put a saddle on a cow and ride it, but it’s still not a horse.
Wouldn’t that be redundant?
