Women of the Senate – sans Warren – stump for Clinton
One of the most memorable emails comes from Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal, who lists all of the well wishers he heard from, including Daily Beast founder “Tina Brown (who wrote a very nice column with a good swipe at the evil bridge troll John Bolton.)” Bolton is the former US ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush who had suggested Clinton was faking a “diplomatic illness” to delay her Benghazi testimony. While Sanders received 57 percent of the Democratic chatter on Twitter, compared with 42 percent for Clinton, the former Secretary of State received 54 percent of the month’s television mentions among the Democratic candidates, compared to Sanders’ 35 percent. A running trend is confusion from Clinton over technology, glowing praise from close friends and employees and some insight into what her days looked like at the State Department. She maintained in the interview with Charlie Rose that she’s advocated for regulation of the big banks and financial services sector. “I thought of you not only because of the letters MD attached to your name, but also because of the letters SEN, HRC, MCC, and admittedly, GOP”.
“If you would like help with your campaign, I’m available”, one girl offered.
Frist replied: “I love her and respect her and I can help. Yes, I did”, Clinton concluded.
“The difference with Clinton’s meetings was that she was a 2008 presidential contender who was widely expected to run again in 2016”.
It should be clear by now to all but the most self-deluded Clinton supporters that there was a major effort to change the focus of public attention on the attack from terrorism to an anti-Islamic video.

Only one person could have “gotten so many of my colleagues together and that is Hillary Clinton”, echoed Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono.
While the women speaking Monday were unanimous in their support for Clinton, many other Democrats are undecided or backing other candidates.
In the exchange from the night of the attack, Clinton told her daughter Chelsea – who was using the pseudonym “Diane Reynolds” – that the attack was launched by “an Al Queda-like group”.
“I mean, that’s all- that would all be an extra, added part of it. But for me, I really love this country”, Clinton said. “And I am hoping that because of the election next year, this time we will be able to celebrate more Democratic senators and maybe even taking the majority of the Senate back”.
Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein emailed her aide, Capricia Marshall, offering to send Clinton copies of any movies she wanted to watch while recuperating. Conversely, the Clintons have long eyed Warren as a political threat.
