Hillary Clinton's 2008 supporters see a second chance to make history
The London Telegraph ^ | October 26, 2014 | Raf Sanchez in Charlotte, North Carolina

Six years after their heroine lost to Barack Obama, Clinton voters gear up for a second bid for the White House in the 2016 election.

There is no doubt in Rachel Mannlein-Hochman’s mind.

As she stands in a crowd of cheering Democrats waiting for Hillary Clinton to appear onstage in North Carolina, she points to the button pinned to her lapel: Hillary 2016.

“She’s going to run again,” Ms Mannlein-Hochman says. “She’s taking a second chance for herself and she’s giving the country a second chance to elect her.”

The 52-year-old New Yorker is one of the 18 million Americans who gave their faith and their votes to Hillary Clinton in 2008, only to watch as Barack Obama snatched victory.

For most of them, the prospect of their heroine making another bid for the White House in 2016 is an electrifying chance to rewrite history. And for some, it is a chance to correct a national mistake made six years ago.

Standing a few feet from Ms Mannlein-Hochman, Riki Harper’s face darkens as she remembers the day in 2008 when Mrs Clinton admitted defeat.

The 39-year-old was in a noisy Florida restaurant and barely able to hear as Mrs Clinton conceded she was unable to break “that highest, hardest glass ceiling” that kept women from the White House.

"I just felt so lost," Mrs Harper remembers. "I wasn't for Obama then and I'm still not really now. I thought it was Hillary's time."(continued)

She would make a better candidate for the communist party.

What good is a sh*tload of “history” if you don’t have a country?

She doesn’t have supporters, she has worshipers. They worship at the altar of liberalism.

“She’s going to run again,” Ms Mannlein-Hochman says. “She’s taking a second chance for herself and she’s giving the country a second chance to indict her.”

There. Fixed it.

Hillary claimed this week that corporations do not create jobs. Has she has lost her mind?

She reminds me of every geeky girl in High School who later in life got a taste of POWER and found True Love.

This is ONE dangerous woman. Never doubt that. She. Is. Evil.

Diana in Wisconsin...is (Hillary) ever!!!!!! There are simply pages and pages of the awful stuff Hillary Clinton has done, and if anyone at all has any doubts she would be different than what we have been suffering with for the past six years, think again. America simply couldn’t make it with the Wicked Witch from the East running the show!! Many doubt we can put back what Obama has trashed.

This started in the mid 90’s with the press fawning over a person with no achievements and no sort of governing experience. Literally a creation of the press. I spit on them for all the damage they’ve caused.
