Obama Piles on Hillary After Jarrett Leaked Her Private Email to Press
Posted on 04/12/2015 1:51:25 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
The 2016 Republican presidential field on Sunday greeted Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s entrance into the race with skepticism.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) led the charge by releasing several anti-Clinton items in his campaign store, which offers bumper stickers, posters and t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan “liberty, not Hillary.”
The Kentucky lawmaker continued his attack with a GIF tweeted out to the social media masses. It mocked allegations Clinton used a private email server as secretary of State by showing a mobile phone deleting messages addressed to her.
Paul additionally released his first television ad attacking Clinton on Sunday. The minute-long clip states that Clinton is a “path to the past, a road to yesterday, to a place we’ve been to before.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), the only other official 2016 GOP candidate besides Cruz, said Republicans knew “exactly what to expect” from the former secretary of State.
“Hillary Clinton represents the failed policies of the past and there’s going to be a very clear choice to make in 2016,” he said in a statement.
“We know that a Hillary Clinton administration would be no different than an Obama administration,” he argued. “There would be more scandals, more corruption, more lawlessness and more abuse of power.”
The attacks also stretched to potential candidates.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) sent a fundraising blast over Clinton’s announcement despite not having an official campaign of his own.
“We must do better than Hillary,” he said in the call for donations.
Gov. Scott Walker (Wis.) said voters were looking for new leadership Clinton could not provide.
“@HillaryClinton has the same Washington-knows-best mentality people around the country are looking to move beyond,” he tweeted.
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina argued Clinton did not deserve the distinction of serving as America’s first female president.
“She does not have a track record of leadership or trustworthiness,” Fiorina argued in a video posted on her Facebook page.
“She’s not the woman for the White House,” she added.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) chimed in that a Clinton presidency would harm the U.S. working class. The former first lady, he argued, did not represent average Americans with her fiscal policies.
“I believe we need a president who puts the American worker first, not the corporate interests the Clintons have aligned with,” he said in a statement.
Santorum previously released a TV spot criticizing Clinton on Thursday. It insinuates she threatened America’s safety by using a private device during her tenure at State that was vulnerable to hackers.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said Clinton could not separate herself from her time in the Obama administration. He said many of President Obama’s worst failures were related to the ideology both of them shared.
“Hillary Clinton owns the president’s foreign policy & she owns his domestic policy,” he tweeted. “How would she be different?”

Eeewwwww!
Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas):
" Hillary Clinton represents the failed policies of
the past and there’s going to be a very clear choice
to make in 2016.”
“We know that a Hillary Clinton administration
would be no different than an Obama administration
There would be more scandals, more corruption,
more lawlessness and more abuse of power.”
Her sycophants will be all over the news channels in the morning. They will be crying about the ill treatment toward Hillary.
Of course, they will find ways to feed this into their War on Women theme for 2016.
Pubbies should review the tapes of her Senate debate and the media aftermath for Lazia having the audicity to approach her on stage.
Keep it up. Attack the Hildabeast—not each other.
Hitlery is going say that the mean Republicans hate Grandmothers.
She’ll say there is a vast right wing hate Grandmothers conspiracy.
The NEW Hillary! Clinton...
NEW lies.
New scandal.
New corruption !
With that same smarmy smell you’ve come to know.
“I’m ready for Hillary!” says Christopher Stevens,
“At least I would be if I was still alive...”.
I’d bet Bill loved those “bullseye” pants.
Attacking Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, makes a whole lot of tactical sense right now. With such a tempting and obvious target, why waste ammunition on each other?
What the boys of summer REALLY need, though, is to get hold of some of the opposition research that the Current Occupant has on Herself, but has been holding in reserve - most especially that which was NOT used in 2008, when the now Current Occupant went after Herself with such glee, and Herself seemed almost completely helpless.
Or better yet, hack into the resources of the Soros political arm, as that was the likely source of the steady drumbeat against Herself during the 2008 political campaign. The collapse in favor of the now Current Occupant did not seem natural in any way.
Imperative!
At some point, people have to tire of Shrillary ALWAYS playing the victim.
CRUZ or LOSE!
“Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), the only other official 2016 GOP candidate besides Cruz”
The more, the better!
Its all good. Let all the candidates bash her into the stratosphere. She is a weak candidate and she looks like she’s afraid to face the music. The MSM will not be able to rehabilitate Hillary this go around.
Please let our best candidate not have Her Heinous in focus, but the state of our nation and what these 8 years and all the players have done to destroy us.
"She owns the Obama-Clinton foreign policy," Cruz told the Washington Times last month. "She designed and implemented ‘lead from behind’ – and the whole world is on fire right now."
At some point, people have to tire of Shrillary ALWAYS playing the victim.
One would think so.
It’s going to be very humiliating for her when Walker or Cruz clean her clock.
