Reporter Gushes: Hillary Clinton Will Always Be 'The Smartest Woman in the Room'

The liberal media is still coming to grips with how Hillary Clinton could have possibly lost to Donald Trump. After all, she is the “smartest woman” in any room she enters. Or at least that’s what The Hill’s Amie Parnes told host Charlie Rose on his PBS show on Wednesday night.

Rose invited on Parnes and Roll Call columnist Jonathan Allen to promote their new book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign” and asked the two to dissect the reasons for Clinton’s loss. For her part, Parnes cited Russia, James Comey and lack of enthusiasm by Bernie Sanders voters. Not listed? Clinton’s own lack of guile.

In fact, when Rose asked Parnes what Clinton was going to do next, The Hill’s senior White House correspondent gushed: “She could do anything...She will always be the smartest woman in the room.”

The following is the relevant exchange as it was aired on the May 3 edition of PBS’s Charlie Rose show:

HOST CHARLIE ROSE: So what happened to Hillary Clinton?

AMIE PARNES, THE HILL: I think it was a combination message, a combination mismanagement, there were so many factors here. And you know, we don’t want to downgrade Russia and Comey because those were obviously factors. But you know as John and I were reporting this book we started noticing these flaws in the campaign. And I think all of them kind of contributed to it. The lack of, you know, she became the inevitable candidate again. And I think that was a problem for her. There was a great sense of frustration among Bernie Sanders supporters who, some of them voted for her and kind of held their breath and voted for her. And even now are kind of, they don’t quite understand why they did it. They did it because she wasn’t Trump. But they didn’t really have that, she didn’t have that energy behind her. So I think all of these factors kind of played into that. ... ROSE: The question I’d really ask was, what’s happening to her now. What’s her future?

PARNES: She, from what I understand, is not going to be a part of her foundation, her family’s foundation. She is stepping away from it. And she wants to do something different. And she is still trying to figure that out from what I am hearing.

ROSE: Could she become a university president or something like that?

PARNES: She could do anything. She’s one of the smartest people, she will always be the smartest woman in the room, I think.

We know she failed the Washington D.C. bar exam. She is not that smart.

Whether she is smart is anyone’s opinion to add up.

Whether she is wise or upright is plain to see.

She could be in a very crowded room and still be the dumbest person in the room.

Having read the book I suspect this was meant ironically. In other words Clinton believes she is always the smartest person in the room. There is no way this author actually believes it’s true.

But would she still be the smartest woman in the room if Lindsey Graham walked in?

She only enters rooms full of journalists and hand-picked audiences of fawning admirers, so it’s quite possible that what the article claims is actually the truth.

Right. In a room with a bathtub and a toilet

Why would the smartest woman need all the debate questions given to her ahead of time?

She is so evil and evil people are never wise. They remain bitter and very angry people, since they hate God and fight God’s Design of man (and Hitlery always reveals her bitterness and hate and that evil, totalitarian Marxist worldview).

As Socrates stated, “Vice makes people slaves” and she is a slave to a very evil and dehumanizing ideology.
