  • The Falls of Clinton

    3rd time unlucky in India??

    Also,

    The recent remarks that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made in India have even former staffers saying they weren't good for her to say.

    Speaking with HLN's S.E. Cupp, Patti Solis Doyle, the former presidential campaign manager for Clinton in 2008, said she was unable to “sugarcoat” Clinton's comments.

    “Look, this was bad. I can't sugarcoat it,” Doyle said. “She was wrong, and clearly, it's not helpful to Democrats going into the midterms and certainly not going into 2020. She's put herself in a position where Democrats are going to have to distance themselves from these remarks and distance themselves from her, particularly those Democrats that are running in the states that Donald Trump won.”

    Dems all over not happy, CNN too???

    North Dakota Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said on a radio show this week that it's past time for Hillary Clinton to exit the political landscape.
    Heitkamp, who is facing a tough re-election race in a state Donald Trump won in 2016, was asked Tuesday by her brother, KFGO host Joel Heitkamp, when Clinton will "ride off into the sunset."

    "I don't know, not soon enough, I guess," she responded.

    The host asked, "What's the answer?"

    And Heitkamp said again: "Not soon enough."


    There are 10 Democratic senators in states Trump won who are up for re-election this November, and several others criticized Clinton's remarks this week, too.
    Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown told the Huffington Post: "I don't really care what she said. I just think that that's not helpful."
    Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked about Clinton's comments: "Oh, come on," adding, "You're killing me here."

        Yes, she must refrain from stating facts about certain segments of American society, it hurts their feelings.

            Well, had we patriotic republicans in Congress, he'd most likely have been impeached by now. But give it time, we'll get there, even though he's done major damage already. Russia won the battle in that respect.

                Democrats aren't concerned with Hillary, thats a republican fascination. Dems are just busy ousting republican reps. around the country while republicans freak out that a significant amount of their dumbfounded constituency has finally awoken.

                        How the Washington Post reacted to her "stating facts about certain segments of American society":

                        Source: Just stop, Hillary. Please.



                        She can’t let go.

                        She can’t stop talking about what happened. She wrote an entire book about it. Now she’s telling people in other countries about why she should have won. In India last weekend, she told an audience that she won in all the smart, cool places — and then hit a pandering low that puts a catalogue of others to shame.

                        Hillary Clinton just can’t quit herself.

                        ...

                        No good seems to come to those who serve in this administration. Cue Peter, Paul and Mary: Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?/ Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?/ Gone to graveyards, everyone/ Oh, when will they ever learn?/ Oh, when will they ever learn?

                        The same song could be sung about Clinton, if only she could hear the music. But then, she was always a little tone-deaf. In India last week on a private trip with her friend and loyal adviser Huma Abedin, Clinton gave a few speeches as part of her ongoing global book tour to promote, wait for it, “What Happened.”

                        At least Al Gore, who suffered a similar fate — winning the popular vote in 2000 but losing the electoral college to George W. Bush — went on to only grow a beard and make documentaries about the end of the Earth. Clinton seems committed to a personal Groundhog Day, in which she adds not new talents and feats of heroism but fresh targets to blame for her destiny denied.

                        She has variously blamed former FBI director James B. Comey, Russia, sexists, “deplorables” and, during a speech in Mumbai, racism. In one of her worst-yet panders — quite a distinction if you remember Clinton’s 2007 speech in Selma, Ala. — she apparently noticed the darker pigmentation of her Indian audience and adapted.

                        She started out by reiterating her disdain for those who failed to recognize her virtues, saying that she won in places “that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” compared with Trump voters who are always looking “backwards.” Then, mockingly, talking to “those people” who voted for him, she continued: “You know you didn’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women, you know, getting jobs, you don’t want to, you know, see Indian Americans succeeding more than you are.”

                        Yikes. So, the people who voted for Trump resent Indian Americans’ success? Funny, because surely her audience was aware that the president selected Indian American Nikki Haley to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. And it’s a good bet they knew Haley had previously been serving her second term as the governor of South Carolina, where she was the first woman and ethnic minority to be elected governor in the state’s history.

                        Such a lack of awareness, combined with Clinton’s clear disdain for millions of Americans whom she would have served as president, confirms she shouldn’t have won after all. By her insinuations, she has demonstrated a loathsome prejudice against the poorly educated and unemployed, as well as rural whites, social conservatives and women who stay home with their children — to name a few.

                        What happened, you ask?

                        That.

                          And what USA Today is saying:

                          Source: Democrats, it's time for you to dump Hillary Clinton


                          If Democrats want to keep winning elections, it’s time for them to file a restraining order against Clinton.

                          If you think about it, being a losing presidential candidate is one of the best jobs in America. No matter what you say, you come off way better than your opponent’s portrayal of you as a bloodthirsty gargoyle. You go on late night talk shows and ham it up with hosts who set you up to be self-deprecating and winsome. People still take you seriously, but you can finally say exactly what you want.

                          And as an added bonus to all this, you don’t have to actually be president.

                          Since the 2016 campaign ended, Hillary Clinton has demonstrated herself to be a singularly extraordinary former presidential candidate — “extraordinary” only in the sense that no ex-candidate has ever been worse.

                          At a recent conference in Mumbai, India, Clinton further cast aside her presidential façade and told the world what she really thought of “middle America.” She boasted that she had won “the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic,” and “moving-forward,” and noted she did best in “places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product.”

                          She suggested President Donald Trump’s appeal was mostly to white men who “didn’t like black people getting rights,” who disapproved of “women getting jobs,” and who begrudged Indian-Americans for their success. As a final ingredient to her toxic bouillabaisse, Clinton added that white women often voted for Trump because of “ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”

                          If there were a Hall of Fame for irony, Clinton would have it named after her. In accusing weak-minded white women of blindly voting the way men told them to, she was proving exactly why white women were wise not to vote for her. It is a significant reason she has now had to play the role of failed presidential candidate twice.

                          Set aside, for the moment, the wisdom of airing one’s bitter grievances against the American electorate on foreign soil. The timing of her Rancorpalooza couldn’t have been worse for Democrats, who are actually trying to appeal to those very “deplorables” Clinton clearly reviles.

                          Take a place like Michigan, for example, which Clinton would have won if just 0.12% of voters switched their vote from Trump to her. Or Wisconsin, which she would have carried if only 11,400 voters marked “Clinton” instead. Had she overcome either of those infinitesimal margins, suddenly she would have shifted them from her “half-off coupon for marrying your cousin” category to her “forward-moving dynamic utopia” column.

                          These rust-belt voters are the ones to whom Democrats must ingratiate themselves in the 2018 midterm elections, but they still find themselves the victims of Clinton’s condescension. Any wise Democrat running in the Midwest would wear garlic around their neck to keep Hillary Clinton away from their state.

                          But her personal horribleness also comes at a bad time for Democrats trying to undermine Trump. At the same time Congressional Democrats are trying to argue the Russians interfered in the 2016 election, Clinton seems dead-set on proving that it was her own acridity that cost her the election. Further, she is pumping oxygen to the jackals at Fox News desperate to thrust her into their nightly headlines. Right now, Donald Trump couldn’t name a better 2020 campaign manager than Hillary Clinton; she’s a human campaign ad for the other guy.

                          In both 2008 and 2016, America’s voters filed a restraining order against Hillary Clinton. If they want to win future elections, it’s time for Democrats to do the same.

                              Jimmy spins like a weather vane in a tornado - anything to toe the party line.
                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
