Hillary Clinton’s Terrible Answer to the ‘Greatest Weakness’ Question Hasn’t Changed Since 2008

Hillary Clinton “greatest weakness,” she said in a recent interview with the online newsletter The Skimm, is that there are too many stupid people who don’t understand why Hillary Clinton should be president: Screen Shot 2015-07-30 at 10.52.16 AM

It was basically identical as the answer she gave to the same question during a Democratic primary debate in January 2008:

I get impatient. I get, you know, really frustrated when people don’t seem to understand that we can do so much more to help each other, and sometimes I come across that way. I admit that. I get very concerned about, you know, pushing further and faster than perhaps people are ready to go.

She tries too hard, pushes to far, and too fast, for you simpletons to handle. You know, like how she was an early supporter (since April 2015) of a Constitutional right to gay marriage, for example.

Hillary’s answer to the “greatest strength” question was also very similar in 2008, just slightly updated with new buzz words and talking points—for example, by replacing “children” with “women.” Here’s what she said in the recent interview:

I thought her greatest weakness was getting rid of people she felt were going to be a hindrance to her political career.

Hillary: Well you know, my greatest weakness is working with those people, people working on my behalf but whom I sense might eventually become a threat. And I'm just not cut out for that. If I get the sense that someone working with me as underling or equal will eventually intercede against me, politically or criminally I lose all control and have to put an end to it (and them).

I mean, I really did like most of them and they thought they were going to do the right thing, morally, I suppose. But the bottom line is and will always be, it's gonna be me first every time, me or them and to which I'm compelled to act on while I still control things, still have a chance to remain ahead.

Vince was that way. I liked him but he told me in no uncertain words that he had the goods on Whitewater that would hang me criminally and politically and i just looked at him and thought to myself; You fool! Do you think I'm just going to stand here and have you take away everything Bill and I worked so hard for??? He was a goner from that very first moment.
