Hillary Clinton won the Democratic debate last night for a lot of reasons (Bernie Sanders's unexpected assist being one of them), but the one that sticks most in our furry little brains is that the execrable inhabits of Pundit World thought she would lose. Sadly, a lot of them are lefties who desperately wanted to see Clinton fail and who, we guess, are pretty vexed today that she didn't.
Which is a great reminder that every negative headline you see about Hillary Clinton should be read through that annoyed-pundithead lens. It's not for nothing that the former Secretary of State knows an entire industry thrives on sliming her — she's been living it for years. It's our hope that with her strong performance last night, Kevin "The Boob" McCarthy's Benghazi Blurt, and Clinton's upcoming testimony to the Select Committee on Whatever It Takes to Destroy Hillary's Candidacy, we can all quietly turn the corner on this crap and do what Bernie Sanders suggests: Talk about the issues that matter to the American people.
Still and all, we cats are pleased about one very specific thing: Compared to the clown car on the other side, the Democratic debate was substantive and dignified. Unlike the GOP sideshows, viewers could actually imagine that they were watching a potential President. Hooray!
And here's another thing we couldn't help noticing: Our front-runner has fared a lot better in her first debate than their (Establishment-presumed) front-runner has.
Think about it: All the punditheads are saying that the Trump and Carson and Fiorina nutcases have no chance of winning the Republican nomination, and that sooner or later, the party will turn to Jeb! Yet Bush not only has had no debate breakthroughs, he's done actual harm to his candidacy. Will any of the TV talking heads compare that to Clinton's masterful turn last night? Sadly, we cats think not. And so we HISS.
