I’d say it sounds like you can’t think of one single thing that would be better in my life if Hillary were president

Nice dodge. Oh wait, you just ignored what was said as usual.

Im curious how someone in your field determines if a publication is scholarly. In science we can be critical of how studies are conducted and peer review/consistent reaults helps determine credability. In politics and to a lesser extent economics it just seems to be an appeal to the authority of the author since its mostly opinion based.

But the constant redundant brow beating cost her badly once Trump coined "crooked Hillary" and his minions adopted it.

She also was one of the lawyers at the House Nixon Impeachment Hearings.

Is it hot? It feels like a swamp in here.

Well, your ex-students' parents would be happier for starters.
