My Comment: Someone must have told her that if she wants to hold a high office again in the future .... even President .... comments like that will have consequences. Saul Alinsky tactics of demonizing your opponents on a national level is one thing .... but doing it on on an international level can be very  dangerous .... hence it must be done very carefully. But as I had commented here .... in many Russians she has already crossed a certain red line. In my case .... I enjoy calling Putin a "mafia Don" who loves to hang out with billionaire oligarchs .... something that privately he would also probably agree with.
