Tammy, Al Gore wasn't the best the Democrats had to offer when he lost to the hanging chads. The DNC is largely to blame. Hillary lost under the rules of the game which have been the same rules Presidents have always won and lost by. If the rules had been different the campaigning would have been different and no one can predict if she would have prevailed. Again, the Dems had better candidates...female included. She simply assumed her ascension to the Presidency was a foregone conclusion and went through the motions.
Your acceptance of her as a weaker opponent susceptible to bullying and male intimidation is not consistent with the Hillary I have witnessed and come to know. She is a tough nut and could have easily bullied back....just ask the secret service agents that were abused by her over the years.
She might have made a more effective President ....as things are now, can't argue against that. Right now though The Orange One seems to be courting the Dems just is he can get something done.
Gore wasnt humiliated....he was outfoxed. Hillary was humiliated. Id actually feel a little sorry for her except I know that would offend her.
