"And if you stand over here and look between those two peaks, guess what you can see???..... Russia!!!"
Probably just a case of perfect timing but I immediately had to change the channel haha.

She was joking in that instance, playing on her earlier faux pas, and she also had a pretty funny moment with the "refudiate" controversy.
Like I said, I think the series did serve its purpose in presenting an unfiltered image of the way she wants to be perceived . . . . and that might work for some and probably wouldn't work with others.
There was a poll a few days ago indicating she was the most polarizing of the potential Presidental candidates on both sides of the spectrum.
People love her or hate her but are rarely indifferent.

I think Rachel Maddow has it right:
"It is hard for anybody to find the words to express the horror and the anger and the grief that are the only rational responses to massacres like this," she said. "But the one thing that events like this are not, in America, now, is inconceivable or unimaginable."
"Whether political rhetoric motivated this kid or not, whether this kid was sane enough to process political rhetoric as sane people understand it or not, whether we will understand sooner or later or never the motivation behind this kid...here's the question: do we have any tools to stop the next gun massacre?"

Rachel Maddow has definitely been one of the most level-headed commentators on the left wing side of the spectrum. A little surprising but true.
