Don't call her "Hillary"

[Anonymous]

Peggy Drexler feels we shouldn't call her by her first name.

Has she taken this up with the candidate, who had a [terrible] logo created using the letter "H," not "C"? How about the scads of people with "I'm with Hillary" bumper stickers?

I can't wait until mid-November 2016 when we don't have to hear about HRC any longer. This is tiring already.

It kind of bugged me at first, but it does seem that the campaign in embracing it. No one took issue with calling Bush "W", that I can remember. I'm tired of hearing about her, too. No one ever says anything interesting.

Jeb will be called Jeb.

I didn't read the article, but I'd argue that by calling her Hillary and not "Clinton" or "Hillary Clinton" we are making her more of her own person and actually separating her from her husband/a male figure. So I'm gonna continue to do that.

+1. I'd agree with not calling her anything at call. She failed in 2008, time for new faces.

I think that the problem is Bill came before her. He's the original Clinton. Otherwise I'd totally agree. Like she isn't afforded that respect because she's a woman.

Call her Granny instead.

In her own words, What difference does it make?

Pretty sure Hillary doesn't mind being called Hillary. Her campaign is called Hillary for America.

I can't wait until mid-January 2025 when we don't have to hear about HRC any longer. This is tiring already.

Whatever.

The campaign is marketing the candidate as "Hillary," not "Clinton" or " Mrs. Clinton." They are trying to give her a separate brand from her husband. They are also trying to make her less chilly and aloof. It's not a bad decision.

Don't agree. She came close in 2008 and was clocked by a young phenom. I was very impressed with how she conducted herself at the end of that campaign and how much support she gave to Obama. The lady is a team player who worked for the good of the party. She used her "off" time to work as Secretary of State and gain valuable foreign policy experience. She is a known quantity to our allies and enemies. She's a terrific candidate in 2016.

I was very skeptical of her in 2008 and I love her now.

That's your way to see it. IMO, she proved to be a disaster running a campaign that was hers to win, in the same way she made a whole mess of healthcare reform in the 90s.

I'd rather see some fresh AND accomplished faces...to me, she's neither.
