Should a sitting SecState really be dissing the next President with a foreign head of state?

At least Hillary didn't bend down and kiss his ring. You notice Obama isn't getting out of the country much these days.

Did anyone running for President now kiss his ring? That is even less relevent than Hillary's comment. It is one thing to throw personal insults at someone that is actually in the race for President and another to throw insults at someone not even in the race. Even Hillary is not that stupid.

No, I don't think they should be dissing candidates where the media has any access.

Eh, "Hindustan" is a vague archaic term for the Indo-Gangetic Plain (after 1947, mostly in India--but substantial parts also in Pakistan and Bangladesh), which has never actually been the name of a country (India's vernacular name is "Bharat") other than in what passes for the mind of one state-level-only chop#### party (unfortunately, the state is Maharashtra which has the country's highest total Gross Economic Product).
