Hillary Clinton’s second race for the presidency is only about a quarter through, but she already seems to be causing general fatigue.
The lurid revelations about the Clinton Foundation proved that it was not so much a charity as a huge laundering operation. Quid pro quo donations from the global rich and powerful fueled the Clintons’ jet-setting networking.
In between political campaigns, the foundation provided sinecures for out-of-work Clinton politicos. This is hardly proof of Hillary’s grass-roots progressivism.
Then came Clinton’s e-mail fiasco. No one knows how the current investigation of her alleged misuse of e-mail accounts, servers, and classified information will end up. But most people accept that it was an unnecessary and self-induced scandal, brought on both by her paranoia and habitual expectation of being exempt from the law.
ABC News just disclosed that ex-president Bill Clinton sought huge speaking fees from foreign governments (well over a half-million dollars per talk), while Hillary was secretary of state. Unfortunately, some of his proposed speaking deals involved odious regimes like those of Congo and North Korea. This year, Hillary herself routinely charged universities $200,000 to $300,000 for brief talks — after decrying the cash-strapped status of indebted students. What will the Clintons not do to make money?
All these imbroglios raise more issues. Was Senator Barack Obama, largely a political unknown at the time, really all that unstoppable in 2008? Or did Hillary simply blow a 30-point lead in the polls because then as now she proved a lousy candidate?
Can’t Hillary Clinton turn voters’ attention to her recent stewardship of American foreign policy?
Most of what happened on her watch as secretary of state is better forgotten: the destruction of a self-reliant Iraq, the rise of the Islamic State, chaos in Libya, failed reset with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, disaster in Benghazi, the alienation of Israel and moderate Arab nations, and Iran’s ascendant.
Instead of hailing her foreign-policy tenure, Clinton is now attacking her critics.
Clinton just blasted her Republican opposition, some of whom want various federal agencies to cite undocumented immigrants who broke federal law, and then process them for deportation before hearing their applications for amnesty. She misleadingly equated that position with wanting to “literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up and, I don’t know, put them in buses or boxcars, in order to take them across the border.”
Is it wise to tar critics with the infamous imagery of the Holocaust, in which Jews were rounded up, put in boxcars and sent to death camps?

Blah blah blah
Oh darn! —and I was going to vote for her! (more or less—LOL!)
Her campaign now consists of “It’s all old news and partisan politics” coupled with the old “A BJ is not Sex” meme (or equivalent).
Hillary is becoming like that black sheep aunt, uncle or grandma nobody wants to claim anymore. At some point people just get tired of tilting at windmills.

My prediction: It’s going to be Lizzie Warren.
RE: My prediction: It’s going to be Lizzie Warren.
Well, Joe Biden recently had a meeting with Fauxcahontas. This is probably going to be the alternative ticket should Hillary implode.

so, hillary is doomed when he runs as the independent he actually is
RE: hillary is doomed when he runs as the independent he actually is
Whew, if you read the above sentence too fast with the pronoun used, you would think Hillary has become a transgender... :)
Not only did her husband (?) bring disgrace to Arkansas and the trail of blood there, but he also brought disgrace to the White House for 8 years, and her and her family and ‘friends’ right along with them...
They never had any regards for anyone else but themselves...
It's the same thing as the Obuma administration, along with the Bush dynasty....it is and was all about them...they didn't care making America greater, they wanted their time in the spotlight, they think they deserve it....
Jebby is no different...he thinks because his father, his brother had that privilege (?) so does he...
One thing that politicians think is it is about them, they say and do all the crap that has worked for so long to goat us voters into believing them, well this election isn't about them anymore, it's about the American Legal Citizens and they don't know what to do or say...
They sling mud here and there and lie and hope it sticks, and they pay the talking heads and msm’s with hopes of glory and grandeur, just like the politicians that are supposedly running this country....
NOT THIS TIME!!! This time it's OUR TURN...It's our turn to say who WE will vote for, It's our turn to have some victories in better pay, better jobs, better everything, it's our turn to line our pockets with the money we go out everyday and earn....IT'S OUR TURN!!!
A train that never existed in a non existent station, having never left nor gotten on the rails, gained momentum that could not be and is now slowing down ... and it will take another year before disappearing
Amazing
“Derail”??? More so, it is circling the bowl...
Hanson is on the Hate Trump bandwagon.
It should be a PRISON BUS...

The Clintons are always praised for their shrewdness in political matters.
Yet, Hillary is floundering badly.
Her normal response would be to buy favor with the American Press by running a huge ad campaign showing her to be really honest.
She’s not doing that.
When somebody behaves out of character, you should look at what’s going on.
She is behaving out of character by not running a huge ad campaign.
