‘President Hillary Clinton?’ She Wants Progress on Immigration and to Drink With G.O.P.
NewYork Times ^ | Patrick Healy

Posted on 07/04/2016 8:00:19 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Should she win the presidency, Hillary Clinton would quickly try to find common ground with Republicans on an immigration overhaul and infrastructure spending, risking the wrath of liberals who would like nothing more than to twist the knife in a wounded opposition party.

In her first 100 days, she would also tap women to make up half of her cabinet in hopes of bringing a new tone and collaborative sensibility to Washington, while also looking past Wall Street to places like Silicon Valley for talent — perhaps wooing Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook, and maybe asking Tim Cook from Apple to become the first openly gay cabinet secretary.

Former President Bill Clinton would keep a low public profile, granting few interviews and avoiding any moves that could create headaches for his wife, like his recent meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch during the F.B.I.’s investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s email practices.

Mrs. Clinton would even schmooze differently than the past few presidents have. Not one to do business over golf or basketball, she would bring back the intimate style of former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Lyndon B. Johnson, negotiating over adult beverages. Picture a steady stream of senators, congressmen and other leaders raising a glass and talking policy in the Oval Office with her and her likely chief of staff, John D. Podesta, as her husband pops in with a quick thought or a disarming compliment.

Somehow, I think she’s more likely to be a nasty, mean drunk than a happy one.

She would also like to retain Loretta Lynch as AG. (NY TIMES buried that lede in p.23)

adult beverages

This phrase was trite the first time it was used. That a slimes writer would use it, still, and a slimes editor would let it pass, is all we need to know about the once vaunted style maven.

The fix is in, long live the Queen. The GOP will cave as they always do. Better to be a house boy than a field hand.

The drink is the main thing.

She doesn’t care who’s sitting next to her. Just keep the drinks coming.

I think she would call them in, one by one, show them the goods she has in their files, then they will roll over like a dog and do what the master wants.

I’m a woman and I don’t care if 1/2 the cabinet is women. I want the best, most highly qualified people. Not a bunch of affirmative action hacks who owe Hillary.

Good to see Carlos Slim’s “newspaper” running interference for the Suspect.

Just can’t buy free propaganda like that these days.

The old Craig Livingstone files are getting stale. But, with the politicization of the Federal branch, there’s probably fresh, new stuff.
