trump and his team must be furiously trying to think of a comeback. in the end trump will call her a dummy and pat himself on the back.
 
It is going to be amazing watching Donald just go down in flames here. Hilary beat congress on Benghazi and walked out smiling. She is going to fucking destroy Donald at every turn.

I agree Trump is a weak candidate, and I do think Clinton is a much better candidate than she was eight years ago, it is SUPER IMPORTANT not to get complacent. I vividly remember pundits and amateur pundits talking about Bush’s unpopularity and how likely it was he would be Carter’d in 2004 and the Democrats lost that election, despite Kerry “crushing” Bush during the debates. I remember how Romney’s campaign, and a lot of Republican big shots, being completely shocked that he lost to a featherweight that was seemingly massively unpopular.

Here are the two notions people should keep in mind:

1) Trump’s strategies that got him the republican nomination will not necessarily work in a general election with undecideds.
2) That does not, at all, mean he will fail to get undecideds.

Undecided voters are leaners, not moderates. They can be convinced. They aren’t all just sitting there going “This person is too extreme for me,” some of them are doing that, and some of them aren’t. Either side of that could swing an election.

Clinton could crush Donald Trump in every debate, but the unforeseen could occur and just throw the election to Trump. A one-minute event could change the entire course of the next four to eight years. The stronger candidate will not always win.
 
Wait, her profile says "pantsuit afficionado" and "hair icon".

Is her account being hacked, or has it always been this funny?

Always.

She's actually incredibly funny, especially in person. I've met her twice. She freaking remembers EVERYTHING too. She's a way better politician than she is given credit for.
 
times really have changed when sick twitter burns by candidates is considered presidential behavior and applauded by people on both sides of the political spectrum

what's next, a meme battle?
I don't know, it seems pretty modest compared to what Trump's campaign has been. I'll mark you down as still "above it all" in your GAF user file, though.
 
Its not her guys

It says right on her account that tweets from Hillary herself are signed with an -H
Oh, of course it's from a staffer. No one's expecting her to be hip twitter Grandma.

It's just that w/ Trump as the nominee, a lot of normal pretenses/formalities are going out the window here.

She's apparently really chummy with colleagues - she would drink McCain under the table while the two traded stories.

She is apparently not very good at expressing this side to the electorate.
 
I like how Obama spins a narrative about her being Presidential material... and her official Twitter account posts that. Says it all about the state of politics as being akin to two children arguing over a play area.
lol

Politics has always had some degree of sick burning the other candidate. This is no different than "You sir are no Jack Kennedy" or "Noun verb 9/11" except that it's on the Internet.

Even go back to the 1700s and the founding fathers talked like this about each other constantly when they started running against one another in elections.
 
A presidential candidate using a meme to attack her opponent seems like an important step towards our inevitable Idiocracy future.

She talked about this in an interview a few months ago. She admitted that, for so many people, she's like a human Roshak test. People see what they want with her. It's not because of her, though.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand, some maturity and professionalism would be nice in a presidential race. On the other, it's Trump on the other side, and social media engagement could be key in connecting with young voters.

Well, yeah. But it moving to Twitter just feels sad.

Like 'HEY LOOK KIDS, WE CAN BE HIP TOO.'

I think it's that she shows a healthy amount of professionalism in this race. So have a little fun when some jackass is an idiot.
