    Hurricane Hillary: Was Irma Over-Hyped?

    What Is Hillary’s ‘Pep Pill’?

    Hillary Clinton looked and (if you ignored the content) sounded great in the first debate.  She was relaxed, alert, confident, and was still perky at the end.  She seemed like the smiling, waving woman who strode out of her daughter’s...
