This Time, Women Could Lead the West Amid International Tests

There’s been a lot of focus on the historical significance for the U.S. in nominating the first woman from major political party to be president, but the prospect of Hillary Clinton winning the White House has broader international significance.

As Europe and the U.S. grapple with the worst migrant crisis since World War II, new terrorism threats and a political test of the transatlantic alliance, a trifecta of women could be deciding policies that will carry global implications for decades to come.

The last time the U.S. and Europe navigated as significant a crisis as the one testing the transatlantic alliance, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and Franklin Delano Roosevelt led the way. Now, it could be Theresa May, Angela Merkel and Mrs. Clinton.

And no mention of selective service changes, in order to secure college loans of course, IF Bill's wife becomes president.

[Gaffer]

The difference here would be is that IMO Hillary Clinton would not do sh!t on the international scene unless that action was sponsored by a huge contribution to the Clinton Foundation.

[Pollster1]

Hillary is one of the few women alive who can make Merkel look competent by comparison.

Now, it could be Theresa May, Angela Merkel and Mrs. Clinton.

God help us.

And the road to Hell is thus made a three-wide.

So, in case ANYBODY thought the WSJ editorial page was “conservative” (or even rational .....

[null and void]

And the road to Hell is thus made a three-wide.

Five-wide if you count Merkle and May.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Ditto.

[dowcaet]

Not exactly Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II is it?

God blessed us with that trio in the 1980’s.

[Genoa]

Bad. :-)

Two of the 3 women are barren, and one is a spinster and one is a lesbian.

"...Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and Franklin Delano Roosevelt led the way. Now, it could be Theresa May, Angela Merkel and Mrs. Clinton..."

Wow. I detest Roosevelt, what he did to our country is well known by people who care to look, and de Gaulle???? de Gaulle? Really? A whiny, spoiled, temperamental French general whose distinguishing characteristic was being allowed to lead allied troops into Paris, and an enduring dislike of America?

Churchill is rolling in his grave at being lumped in any way with de Gaulle, and rightfully so.

Wow. What a turd by the Wall Street Journal.

[Starboard]

Three women running the West. Powerful men running the governments of our primary adversaries in the world. What could go wrong?

[headstamp 2]

Merkle has single-handedly destroyed Europe.

[organicchemist]

Maybe Marine Le Pen will move this particular needle.

[RayChuang88]

However, Hillary has WAY too much political baggage and her campaign still doesn't run an effective social media campaign. Meanwhile, Donald Trump looked at how the Obama 2008 and 2012 campaigns used social media and now has a HUGE presence on the most important social media platforms in the USA: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. And that social media presence bypasses the filter of the mainstream media, much to the Clinton campaign's consternation.

Excerpt one:

There’s been a lot of focus on the historical significance for the U.S. in nominating the first woman from major political party to be president, but the prospect of Hillary Clinton winning the White House has broader international significance.

Excerpt two:

The last time the U.S. and Europe navigated as significant a crisis as the one testing the transatlantic alliance, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and Franklin Delano Roosevelt led the way. Now, it could be Theresa May, Angela Merkel and Mrs. Clinton.

Excerpt three:

The nomination of Mrs. Clinton paves the way for a potential role reversal for women, with Mrs. Clinton, the former secretary of state–if elected–joining Ms. Merkel, the German chancellor, and Ms. May, the new British prime minister, on the world stage.

This article starts out referencing Hillary Clinton and then moves on to reference her five times as Mrs. Clinton. I'm not sure why they would reference her that way, because at the same time they are heralding the changing roles of women, they still reference her has Bill Clinton's property.

That's a rather strange thing to do for someone who was perfectly happy to be referenced as Hillary Rhodam for several years not to long ago. Beyond that, it is still a rather strange thing. Mrs. Clinton? Really?

Why they have unwittingly done, is reminded us of Hillary's single big accomplishment in life. She hitched her wagon to Bill Clinton. Being the wife of the attorney general of Arkansas, she was brought on to a big law firm. From there she was spring-boarded into government. No other qualifications needed.

Having spent her adult life in Arkansas, what made her qualified to represent the times and tribulations of the average New York state inhabitant? What qualified her to be secretary of state?

Mrs. Clinton has been a clinger her whole adult life. She is the paper trailing along behind the man leaving the bathroom.

Mrs. Clinton indeed. Couldn't have framed it better myself.

And this is the person they compare to the likes of Churchill, Roosevelt, Giraud, and de Gaulle.

The Wall Street Journal was once a first class purveyor of news.

Now it's an errand boy of the likes of a person who has left a trail of dead bodies in her wake for decades. It's still happening even this month. Two people who were going to testify against her have been killed in the last thirty days.

Yes, want to read up on the merits of Clinton, why there's even an advertisement for her floating over this article at the WSJ site.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Hillary is a political untouchable. As a simple human she is untouchable. She is a vile evil person folks. What's more, they know it.

Oh yeah she really led well in Syria, Libya, Egypt, Migrant crisis, etc. Just because she’s a women! An incompetent one at that.

[eekitsagreek]

Merkel is doing great for Germany.

Yeah, right.

[Albion Wilde]

Please God, no.
