I've heard you and others tout Hillary's brilliance. Please. Help me understand. Where does she show this "brilliance"? Her vote for war with Iraq? Her push for a no-fly zone over Syria (did she understand the consequences)? Her triumphal laugh over Gaddafi's cruel death? Her failure at the Washington Bar exam? Her trade deal "gold standard"? Her "basket of deplorables"? Her "bring them to heel"? Her pro fracking?
As far as I can see, her only brilliant move was marrying Bill. Yes, and she brilliantly demonstrated how undeserving she was of the presidency. You, Sir, are mistaken about Hillary. -

If Obama had waited his turn he would have lost because Democrats feel compelled to run as a continuation of their Democratic predecessor. Obama 2016 would have been a continuation of DNC neoliberalism and he would have lost for it.

Good talk! He makes a lot of excellent points.

Universities would be wise to try and include more professors like Glenn Loury. Why are they afraid of intellectual diversity?
