As much as I truly admire and like her, she should have resigned in the Obama administration.

She's pretty much going to be gone now.

I do feel very badly for her and wish she would retire.

Broken ribs are extremely painful. I feel bad for her. I hope she can heal up from this.

I totally agree with you. She is way too old and ill.

She is a trooper for sure, although it's time. Retire and spend the rest of your life with your family.

marino760 · 11-08-2018, 07:24 AM

She's 85 and in poor health and now has 3 broken ribs. Good grief, I wish her all the best but hope this pushes her to retire.

Yes, she needs to retire and take care of herself.
