Hillary Clinton remains popular for her time as secretary of state, viewed apart from Obama
Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2014 | By David Nakamura and Scott Clement

Hillary Rodham Clinton retains broad public support for her performance as secretary of state, a sign that President Obama’s struggles abroad and Republican attacks over Benghazi have not been a major drag on her reputation.

“More people blame the White House than they blame the secretary of state, and that strikes me as quite appropriate,” said Kori Schake, a former State Department official during the George W. Bush administration. The public “admires Secretary Clinton’s toughness and how much she got out there and tried to do stuff.”

With many of the Obama administration’s foreign policy priorities still unresolved, Clinton has struggled publicly to identify her biggest accomplishment. But supporters say that it is unfair given her role as part of Obama’s “team of rivals” in the first term.

They simply don't know what the hell to do with her. She's come and gone. Get over it.

I expect another health episode soon....which will become the excuse.

She knows the party is going to screw her again by pulling another rabid piece of garbage out of their hat for 2016.

"Is honest and trustworthy - 60%"

"Exhibits strong leadership - 67%"



What examples of "strong leadership" could the 67% give? Could most of them give even one example to support their opinion? As for "honest and trustworthy," anyone who would give her strong marks for that just hasn't been paying attention for 20 years. She even lies about stuff she doesn't need to lie about.

I am in financial services sales. I consider myself very honest, but I would love to have this polling list. Naive people make easy clients, and I would be protecting them from the crooks!

Most of that 67% couldn’t tell you what the Secretary of State does.

Washington Compost...house “organ” (no pun intended) of today’s Rat Party.

Of course, same goes for Politico, CNN, NY Times, Chicago Tribune, ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, etc. etc. ....

How about we just save some time and list the few media outlets that aren't kissing Dem asses?!

My own take is that many people assume that Bill will be pulling the strings behind the scenes. In reality, it will probably be her lover Huma.

And like, so there.

So people who don’t know anything about much at all, or who their Senator is, somehow keep up with the nation’s Secretary of State and how past ones performed?

Looks like the pressholes are going to do Hillary’s campaigning for her.

“On the other hand, Hillary is smart, tough, experienced and moderate, precisely the qualities we need in a President.”

That was part of an entry from a kool-aid drinker on WaPo, and these are supposedly the more intelligent brainwashed low information types. See what we’re up against folks. It’s going to be an uphill battle because the MSM have thoroughly covered up for the lefties for a very long time, and have spun a positive picture of the Demoncratic Party.

This is a puff piece, nothing more than the Compost telling you who they want in office.
