Hillary Rodham, second from left in the back row, with her debate team in 1965 at Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Ill. She was known for her debating skills as a student.

When Hillary Rodham’s high school government teacher in Park Ridge, Ill., insisted she play the role of Lyndon B. Johnson in a mock debate of the 1964 presidential election, she protested.

Ms. Rodham, one of the school’s standout debaters, was a proud Barry Goldwater supporter (she wore a hat with an “AuH2O” logo) and an active member of the Young Republicans. But the teacher, Jerry Baker, was intent on challenging her to argue the other side.

Always a dutiful student, she agreed, settling into the library to pore for hours over Johnson’s positions on civil rights, foreign policy and health care. She prepared with such ardor and delivered such a compelling case that she even convinced herself. By the time Ms. Rodham graduated from college, she was a Democrat....

Hillary lost that debate with Lazio by a mile. The news reports said the next day that her handlers were sunk in a depression that night. It was not until they cooked up the poor little woman memo that the press turned on Lazio.

Lying and dodging aren’t debate skills.

They are a pathology.

Yep.

She would find an opportunity to say “you’re fired” and Trump would be owned.

All over but the crying after that.

Yet this very same woman which the NYTimes gushes over is incapable of using a fax machine and is apparently unaware that a single mobile device can have multiple email accounts.

Good luck getting those lamestream media “moderators” asking Hilary Clinton any tough questions concerning her terrorist past.

After decades of being surrounded by terrified and intimidated sycophants, I would bet her debating skills are rusty, if they haven’t abandoned her altogether.

If the slimes is still promoting her, what does that say about other support? Supposedly Wall Street is giving her the cold shoulder.

Three or four of the Republican candidates weren't even born yet when that picture was taken. When was the last time she actually debated someone?

Obama in 2008?

You have a real knack for writing, your description of the Gore incident is so vivid it permitted me to recall something I had not even known I remembered.

Clinton sure has a lot of insider love. The Times are all in on her.

Even back then everything was a big joke to this crook. Note her closing statement beginning at at 2:55. Does any of this sound familiar?


She promises to:
* provide quality affordable healtcare FAIL
* pay down the national debt FAIL
* cut taxes on the middle class FAIL
* get "our fair share" from Washington FAIL
* secure social security FAIL
* get guns out of the hands of criminals FAIL
* fight for better schools healthcare and jobs FAIL

Yes. And all Gore could muster in response was his trailing voice, “what about the Dingle Norwood bill?”

Hillary will lose big—even with the softball questions that CNN will lob at her—Bernie and others will rip her to pieces. What will she do? call them Republicans? Her women’s Card has expired, she has no gas left in the tank. The debate will be the beginning of the end for her. She will drop out in March 2016. Obama is working to do her in.

Hillaryous Rotten Criminal will amplify lies told over a lifetime and will not be held accountable by anyone - including opposition party (UNIPARTY) opponents and moderators of kabuki debates. Her soap box is huge and the cockroaches underneath it are many. See you at the ballot box.
