Hillary Clinton's Dead-End Campaign (Victor Davis Hanson very enjoyable read alert)
PJ Media ^ | February 14, 2016 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 02/15/2016 3:08:51 AM PST by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton may yet win the Democratic nomination -- if she is not indicted. After all, it is hard for a New England spread-the-wealth socialist like rival Bernie Sanders to appeal to working-class southern whites, minorities, or the wealthy Democratic establishment. It is still likely that the Democratic Party will find a way to aid an ailing and scandal-plagued Mrs. Clinton, rather than turn over its future to a 74-year-old scold, who for most of his voting life was not a Democrat and whose redistributionist agendas and Woodstock fables about the 1960s make Obama seem centrist in comparison.

All that said, Mrs. Clinton's campaign rhetoric is coming up empty -- largely because it is at odds with the way she has lived her life and conducted her various careers over the last two decades. Voters, even younger ones, are now sorely aware of those flagrant contradictions.

[Snip]

Hillary Clinton's campaign is headed down a dead-end street. There are no way-outs through decrying the treatment of women and the baleful influence of Wall Street, calling for fair enforcement of laws, referring to either the sad or great state of Obama's economy and foreign policy, or voicing the populist concern for indebted students and losers in today's calcified economy.

Hoping that Bill Clinton fades out or that Obama's popularity hits 55% or that the FBI and Justice Department are as politicized as Obama's Chicago-style IRS, ICE, or EPA is not a winning way to the White House.

What do you mean, the dog is about to take a poop? The job is already well under way....

And this might be the high-water mark of the campaign of Herself. From now on, the difficulty shall lie in avoiding indictment.

Is there a statute of limitations for treasonous acts?

Yet Hillary has now lost that long-enshrined wedge issue [War on Women] after only 24 hours of Donald Trumps withering counter-fire, in stark contrast to past years of failed Republican counter-strategies.


This is why Trump. And if you dont understand this point, then you are still back in the 1950s, cheering on Nixon in his kitchen debate with Kruschev.

Spitting against the wind. Absent an indictment, HRC is the next POTUS of the US. Once she grabs the nomination After a perfunctory and conciliatory concession from Sanders,she and the left will have months to rally the base, Blacks,Hispanics, government unions, feminists and atheists.

Meanwhile, the GOP , especially its Conservative base, is splintered, demoralized, and too busy devouring its own to mount a respectable challenge to the inevitability of eight years of another far-left administration which is the “ new moderate” in the eyes of media and the hip.

Scalia’s death is a metaphor for the demise of the Conservative movement and the GOP as its flag carrier. The situation has become as serious as a heart attack.

Money quote:

“Hillary Clinton may yet win the Democratic nomination—if she is not indicted.”

I am depressed.

That's quite an indictment of the Democrat Party.

I learned a new Latin word from this article. Bill exhibits “effututos”, which the ‘net tells me means, “exhausted,” or “shagged out.” He certainly does.
