Watched "Weiner" last night

[Anonymous]

I was stunned that at the end, with the striper stalker out there, Huma was still planning going with her husband through the MacDonald backdoor ...

It seems that she served Hilary for so long that the only way she relates to her candidate (in this case, also husband) is to him/her first during crisis.

sorry, put him/her first

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it. I can't stand watching women get publicly humiliated by their husbands (and vice versa).

Haven't seen the movie. From what I've read about it, it sounds extremely painful to watch. Which makes sense, the campaign was pretty painful to see crash and burn.

It is curious timing, with the election going on. Abedin is not planning to retire or work for someone other than Clinton anytime soon, is she?

She has done a lot of outside consulting work all along while working for Clinton. I saw an interview with the filmmakers and Weiner thought all along that it was going to be a film about his big comeback into politics. Of course, his mayoral campaign crashed and burned. I'm surprised they are still married.

Huma learned to be a doormat from the original doormat. Hillary.

"I'm not sitting here some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette," Hillary famously told Steve Kroft in that 1992 interview. "I'm sitting here because I love him and I respect him."

HA HA !

DOORMAT.

OMG we saw last night too!!! He's an a-hole and I was prepared for that but totally do not get #1 why Huma agreed to doing this film and #2 why in the world she is still with him! There seems no upside for her or their marriage. And she is such an accomplished private person so it is so so odd. I cannot imagine what she/they say to their little boy once he understands. Anyway waking up this morning my husband just shook in disgust in the thought of having watched it. It is "worth" watching but not because it is uplifting or even relatable at all.

I think Hillary Clinton is a weak woman for staying w/her husband after he lied, humiliated & cheated on her.

How can such a weak woman lead our country forward if she has no self-respect or dignity within herself....??!....What can she do for us if she cannot do for herself??!

I think she set a bad example that Weiner's wife has decided to follow. After all, she probably looks up to Hillary very much.

I think it takes an amazing strength of charactee to forgive someone who has lied and humiliated you. I know I do not posses that strength. I know that all expected Hilary and Huma to divorc their husbands, but these women are strong and couragous bough to write their own narrative. Good luck to them!

14:24 so you equate a woman staying with someone who is lied to you and humiliated you as strong and courageous? So I guess that we should ask our husbands to start doing this, so we can all follow their example of strength and courage? As in, they should be our role models?

So someone who leaves a partner who has lied and cheated on them does not take amazing strength of character?

Really, 14:24, step back and look at the gibberish that you are writing. Do you have a DD and do you want her to look at these women's decisions as showing amazing strength of character? If your DD came to you and said her husband had done these things, but she's going to stay with him, would you applaud her for her amazing strength of character and encourage her to do so, so as to write her own narrative?

I'm guessing they have some sort of arrangement because his actions seem to be of such an ongoing nature. Even to this day maybe. He is one of the very few well known figures I follow on Twitter who allows direct messages from people he doesn't follow.

Chill.
The PP is trying to acknowledge the strength required to forgive and move forward.
You don't have to agree with someone else's reasons for this, however you misquote the PP with virtually your entire post.

NP here.

I understand that they are strong women. I just wish Huma puts her interest above her husband's sometimes.
