IDK, laying aside the jokes and "because she's a girl".... his positive case for Hillary was, in effect, that she was a smart, talented and well practiced political operator.
While I can understand where he's coming from, and agree completely, it's -also- the reason some people -won't- vote for her. We might imagine that talent and smarts means she has what it takes...they're definitely pros, but looking at what she's applied them to isn't exactly comforting. Yesd, yes, we all knw about her marquee efforts, the ones she spends her time endlessly hawking, but that;s a tiny fraction of what she's sponsored and signed off on, and the real work of govrnment hasn;t beeen done in the light of those popular and politically expedient things to which we're constantly treated as theater.
