| Trolling Independents - HRC names Merkel as her favorite world leader |
| 2016-09-30 |
| [Politico] Hillary Clinton trolled two White House opponents with a single response, dinging Gary Johnson and Donald Trump by naming Angela Merkel as her favorite world leader. The Democratic presidential nominee on Thursday joined the discussion about politicians’ favorite world leaders, a topic that went viral when Johnson, the Libertarian nominee, drew a blank when asked Wednesday to name a world leader he looks up to and respects. "Oh, let me think. Look, I like a lot of the world leaders," Clinton said, bursting into laughter initially when asked about her favorite world leader during a gaggle with reporters aboard her campaign plane in Chicago. "One of my favorites is Angela Merkel because I think she’s been an extraordinary, strong leader during difficult times in Europe, which has obvious implications for the rest of the world and, most particularly, our country." Clinton praised the German chancellor’s "leadership and steadiness on the Euro crisis," while adding that "her bravery in the face of the refugee crisis is something that I am impressed by." |

| #12 Merkel is from East Germany and Hillary wishes to remake the US using East Germany as a model so it all fits. |

| #8 I'm gonna give Johnson a pass on this one. The list of current world leaders worthy of admiration is mighty short. And for Libertarian candidate it's almost nonexistent. |

| #7 Playing the Muslim illegal immigrant and woman card? Singing Merkel's praises is not going to get HRC any votes. Just don't think the German citizens are too thrilled with Merkel. |

| #5 May God have mercy on us if we send HRC to the White House... It will have to be God. No one else will grant any mercy. |

| #3 It's nor like she's spoilt for choice, after all. The only other female is Theresa May, who is Conservative and therefore uninteresting to our possible future beloved leader; the only strong male leaders that come to mind are Bibi Netanyahu (Israel and President Obama's least fave person) and Vladimir Putin (who she keeps trying to tie around Mr. Trump's neck). |

| #1 I'd say "this should give a second thought even to most ardent lefties" - but of course, these are "people" who mustered the art of never questioning certain certainties. |
