Fabricating Chelsea Clinton (the contrived campaign to make Chelsea Clinton a thing)
Commentary Magazine ^ | 2/27/2017 | Noah Rothman

1.Democrats are confused by the fact that they were bested by a political figure they see as an empty suit with a pedigree famous for little more than tweeting. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.

It’s been hard to avoid the contrived, media-driven campaign to fabricate Chelsea Clinton into a figure of political and cultural relevance.

Take for example the New York Times book review, which dug into Clinton’s literary preferences. Bet you didn’t know that the scion of the Clinton family first read Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 in the seventh grade and “it still makes me uncomfortable, even more so, decades later.” Well, now you do. When prompted by her interlocutor with the Times to offer a book recommendation for President Donald Trump, Clinton criticized him as a man who doesn’t read enough. “Whom would you want to write your bio?” Chelsea was asked. “If it ever gets written? Me,” she confided. “But there’s so much more to do before that even gets asked.” Whatever might she imagine for herself?

Indeed, Clinton’s newfound comfortability in entering the political fray and frequently jabbing at the president on Twitter has energized the left. At least, that’s what those who pen glowing profiles of Clinton in Acela Corridor publications contend.

The Times interview, published on February 23, appears to have set off a flurry of Chelsea Clinton profiles you never knew you wanted. The youngest Clinton “has been fired up online since Trump took office,” according to the media criticism outlet Newser, “resulting in a more ‘provocative’ and ‘punchier’ former first daughter who isn’t afraid to take on anti-Semitism, ‘fake news,‘ and even the commander in chief himself.”

You might be surprised to learn that Clinton “takes down Trump” on Twitter on a regular basis, as Mashable helpfully informed its readership.

When she learns she was just a beard for her pedaphile parents she’ll be devastated

“it still makes me uncomfortable, even more so, decades later.”

Ironic that a modern lib would find burning books uncomfortable, especially considering how modern libs fashion themselves to be some sort of “thought police”.

I’m sorry, but you can’t package up a Clydesdale buffoon and pass her off as some sort of ‘younger, smarter Hillary.’

She has no communications skills, is unlikable, and very much uglier than her mother at that age. She is awkward and transparent, and should definitely stop wearing those Naugahyde Sauna Pants before she explodes on stage.

It's like looking at a dating profile and "favorite books" are all novels that were assigned as classroom reading assignments.

Chelsea is very jealous of Ivanka, with good reason.

I’ve been saying for a while now that she has “third generation Kennedy” written all over her. If she has a future in politics, she’ll spend the rest of her life representing an inconsequential House district that hasn’t elected a Republican in 100 years.

That certainly is possible, but she is going to have to do it without any more outside family money. There can be no worldwide influence bought through her.

But she read a book once so she is more qualified than most Dems out there.

‘fake news,‘

Like when Mama told her that the attack on our embassy in Libya was a terrorist attack (9-11-2012) and NOT just a protest about a youtuber video?

I don't recall Chelsea going to the media or twitter to clear that up.
