re: #430 HappyWarrior

Good question, I haven’t seen him in a week or so. Another one I wonder about is Erik, I think he changed his name to TastyT or something like that. We had good talks because we were two people who previously not been big HRC fans but became impressed with her as we learned more.

Thanks for giving me a prompt for something I’ve been thinking about:

As a millennial and former Republican, I didn’t have a good opinion of Clinton a year ago. I planned on voting for her, regardless of the Republican nominee, but I only started helping out on her campaign because Trump managed to get the nomination and the tightening up of the polls in the middle of September.

But I grew to admire her during the campaign for all the shit she had to deal with.

And I’m about 35 pages into Game Change about the 2008 election, and it’s annoying that some of the stuff didn’t get more attention. For example, she waited on the tarmac in a plane for hours because of storms in Chicago when she was scheduled to appear at two of Obama’s senatorial fundraisers back in 2004. After meeting him for the first time, she arranged appearances at several more fundraisers for him. And the book mentions how she loathed fundraisers, but would go from state-to-state to help other candidates.
