How to Beat Hillary (Next) November

I've seen up close the two Clintons America knows. He's a big smile, hand locked on your arm and lots of charms. "Hey, come down and speak at my library. I'd like to talk some politics with you."

And her? She tends to be, well, hard and brittle. I inherited her West Wing office. Shortly after the 2001 Inauguration, I made a little talk saying I appreciated having the office because it had the only full-length vanity mirror in the West Wing, which gave me a chance to improve my rumpled appearance. The senator from New York confronted me shortly after and pointedly said she hadn't put the mirror there. I hadn't said she did, just that the mirror was there. So a few weeks later, in another talk, I repeated the story about the mirror. And shortly thereafter, the junior senator saw me and, again, without a hint of humor or light in her voice, icily said she'd heard I'd repeated the story of the mirror and she … did … not … put … that mirror in the office.

It is a small but telling story: she is tough, persistent and forgets nothing.

That means she is vindictive. Don't ever forget that.

How to Beat Hillary (Next) November

My tag line comes to mind.

[KC_Conspirator]

Btw, I think Hillary is totally beatable. As you pointed out she has NONE of the gifts her husband has and its clear she can only win on controlled, contrived, elections. The only thing the GOP needs to do is to get serious and tough with her.

I will always take Rove's advice on elections, but OTOH, I think he is overrated and the 2006 debacle, which he was responsible for, shows that.

How informative! I too wish to beat Hitlery. Possibly with a crowbar.

[ken21]

but we need a candidate that everyone can support.

How soon we forget...

“Diane Rodham” morphed into “Hillary Clinton”

for the political stage...
