Hillary Clintons What Happened tour is playing well in the sanctuary state of California, a safe house for the Democrats losing presidential candidate in 2016. Last week, on a dog-whistle stop in Davis, Hillary addressed a packed house of 1,800 fans, some decked out in pussy hats.
Historically, people really like me when Im serving in a supporting role, Clinton said.
When I left being secretary of state, I had an approval rating of 69 percent. But when she sought to lead the nation, then it gets a lot harder.
As Clinton explained, Russian interference is a clear and present danger to us and to Western democracy, and right out of Putins playbook.
Clearly, Hillary still hopes that the ongoing Russian investigation will somehow invalidate the 2016 election and get her into the White House. In recent pronouncements, Hillary sounds like she is the president.
Donald Trumps threat to pull the United States out of the Iran deal is dangerous, she says, and makes us look foolish and small and plays right into Iranian hands. Such action by Trump is bad not just on the merits for this particular situation, but it sends a message across the globe that America's word is not good.
Further, this particular president is, I think, upending the kind of trust and credibility of the United States position and negotiation that is imperative to maintain. Clinton also took Trump to task on North Korea.
We will now have an arms race a nuclear arms race in East Asia, and she had a different plan. Diplomacy, preventing war, creating some deterrents is slow, hard-going, difficult work, she told reporters. And you can't have impulsive people or ideological people who basically say, 'Well, were done with you.
Historically, losing candidates have not been a magnet for the media. After Reagans victory in 1980, even the old-line establishment media had heard enough from Jimmy Carter. Likewise, after the 1984 election, nobody was eager to hear the views of Democrat losers Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro.
In 1987, when President Reagan said Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, reporters did not rush to see if the losing Democrats wanted Gorbachev to leave the Berlin Wall standing. After the 2016 election it was a different story.
It was as though, after Super Bowl, reporters rushed to the losers locker room and stayed there. The old-line establishment media turned its guns on Trump and became a squad of sycophants for Clinton. That is no surprise, given the bias of the establishment media, which is also ignorant.
As Ben Rhodes said, peddling the Iran deal was easy because so many reporters are young and literally know nothing. That comes through in their coverage of Hillarys presidential posturing.
The problem in North Korea, she said, is an arms race. Actually, the problem is Kim Jong-un, a genocidal hereditary Stalinist already shooting off missiles toward the United States and her allies. And nobody was curious whether Bill Clinton had contributed to this situation with his good deal for the United States with North Korea in 1994.
For Hillary Clinton, pulling out of the Iran deal is dangerous, not the deal itself, and the trust and credibility of the United States was the issue for the former First Lady and secretary of state. Nobody in the old-line media was eager to challenge her on the dangers of trusting the radical Islamic dictatorship that, as President Trump pointed out in his October 13 speech, took over the U.S. embassy in 1979 and held more than 60 Americans hostages for 444 days.
The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, as the president noted, twice bombed our embassy in Lebanon once in 1983 and again in 1984. Another Iranian-supported bombing killed 241 Americans service members they were, in their barracks in Beirut in 1983.
Losing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton fielded no hard questions on those attacks, so as Ben Rhodes said, maybe the reporters didnt know anything about that history. They also missed another reality.
When it comes to Communist dictators and Islamic theocrats, Hillary Clinton has her pussy hat firmly in place. The problem is not the dangerous tyrants themselves but the arms race, and America is also to blame.
Her view is basically, your country, right or wrong, and this should not be a surprise. After all, Hillarys mentors include Stalinist lawyer Robert Treuhaft and communist guru Saul Alinksy.
For a woman of true distinction, media types might consider former UN ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. As the New York Times said, no woman had ever been so close to the center of presidential power without actually residing in the White House.
Kirkpatricks mentors included Hannah Arendt, author of Origins of Totalitarianism, and Albert Camus, who believed that Communism equals murder. She denounced dictators and called out the San Francisco Democrats who always blame America first.
So does Hillary Clinton, who long ago pulled her pussy hat down over her eyes. Thats why she lost the 2016 election. Russian interference had nothing to do with it.
HALF of voters are below average.
Agreed. She has reportedly served under Bill Clinton (briefly), Webb Hubbell and Vince Foster.
Can someone post an image of a jock strap?
‘When I left being secretary of state, I had an approval rating of 69 percent’
There she goes again.....believing those heavily Democrat biased polls!
"It was as though, after Super Bowl, reporters rushed to the losers locker room and stayed there."
That's gold.
I’ll bet they have already built an oval office in the house in Chappaquiddick or wherever she hangs her hat these days so when she finally comes down from whatever trip she’s on, (or sobers up), she can show up for work every day and announce to the world she spends more time in the oval office than Trump does - complete with film crew. She doesn’t have an ounce of shame in her body.
This photo shows how pathetic 40% of American women are. In no other nation, would women prostitute themselves to a lame political party in this demeaning fashion. The Democrat Party has brought down the female in their party from emphasizing the brain to one that emphasizes the genitals.
It’s amazing that it’s now okay to say “pussy” without “cat” attached or when meaning whimp.
How does threatening to pull out of the Iranian deal, play right into Iranian hands??
Does this make sense? Don’t the Iranians want us to continue with this deal? How would it make them happy for us to threaten to pull out or actually pull out?
Do people like Hillary just say things off the top of their head; stream of consciousness, and expect never to be called out or explain details about comments such as these??
Yes Don Corleone - half is always 'below average' - but we don't want the nation's reporters - the nation's press - to be in the bottom half...
