Hillary Seems Tired, Not Hungry
WSJ ^ | March 13, 2015 | Peggy Noonan

Maybe we’re not stuck in Scandal Land.

For a while I’ve assumed (Hillary Clinton) would run for her party’s nomination and be a formidable candidate in the general election. After Tuesday’s news conference I’m not so sure.

[snip] Her claims—she stayed off the State Department email system for “convenience,” she thought “it would be easier to carry just one device,” her server “contains personal communications from my husband and me”—were so transparent, so quickly disprovable. Minutes later journalists were posting earlier statements in which she said she carries two devices, and The Wall Street Journal’s report saying Bill has sent only two emails in his life.

[snip] Everyone knows what the scandal is. She didn’t want a paper trail of her decisions and actions as secretary of state. She didn’t want to be questioned about them, ever. So she didn’t join the government’s paper-trail system, in this case the State Department’s official email system, which retains and archives records. She built her own private system and got to keep complete control of everything she’d done or written. She no doubt assumed no one outside would ask and no one inside would insist—she’s Hillary, don’t mess with her.

Sometimes I wonder if we are being rope a doped. When I heard that the jug eared man boy was behind these episodes of anti Hitlery, I began to wonder, could it be this is a way of appearing of distancing her from him to appear more of a “centrist”?

I never underestimate the chicanery of the commie left and at the top of that list are both Jug Ears and Hitlery.

Ronald Reagan was 69 during the 1980 presidential campaign. Fit, hale & hearty, and he stayed that way while in office.

IMO, Hillary’s corrosion of the soul is eating its way outward until now it shows.

One thing for sure, Hillary was very off her game in the presser. I am still amazed at seeing Hillary retrieved by her handler. In Hillary’s mind she was not done, yet the handler interceded, closed her notes, took her by the arm and led her away. To me, that was the end of Hillary.

What does it matter what a candidate, male or female, looks like?

Any reaction about her "old and tired" looks from me is really in reaction to the way the left jumped on Ronald Reagan for being 68 when he first took the reigns of the White House.

It was as if they could not really grab onto anything else to make fun of him.

Whereas there is just so much that we can do to make fun of the HildaBeast that the easiest thing is to point out how she has the exact thing that they made fun of Reagan about being old.

It is almost like what she has a plethora of things wrong with her - from being a commie to being a lesbo - and we are just settling with what is most obvious.

A wrinkle does not bother me at all.

“Compare the political and personal lives of Hillary Clinton and Ronald Reagan, and you can see why Reagan was full of life and energy compared to the Hag who seems depressed and ready to throw in the towel.”

Being a habitual liar will take its toll on you. It takes so much out of you trying to remember the chain of lies you’ve told so you don’t trip yourself up like she’s doing now. She is an old hag who is past her “sell by” date and I think she knows it.

Yes, and I am more concerned that she is an expert at getting her serious scandals started and scheduled for release just in time to be out of the way by show time. New and related revelations will pale compared to skirting federal law, concealing records and communications on a shadow internet universe.

If this stuff can’t permanently derail Hillary Clinton this year, then it falls flat. Hillary Clinton is betting all this goes away. It always does.

I think she is in charge of running the clock out on us.

“I don’t feel no ways tired. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don’t believe He brought me this far,” drawled presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, mimicking black voice to a black audience, at the First Baptist Church of Selma, Alabama. I’m wondering if Mrs. Clinton visits an Indian reservation she might cozy up to them saying, “How! Me not tired. Me come heap long way. Road mighty rough. Sky Spirit no bring me this far.” Or, seeking the Asian vote she might say, “I no wray tired. Come too far I started flum. Road berry clooked. Number one Dragon King take me far.”

She has become what she, as a young woman, hated.

You may be right, but I disagree. I think the evil in her heart has been there from the day she was hatched.

Why should she seem hungry?
The nomination is hers, right?
At least she thought it was in 08 too!
Why not 8 years later, when she’s older and so much wiser?...LOL.

That is pretty a obscure reference and it comes across as ignoring the real issues of her criminal behavior. The media will ignore her criminality so we need to point to it every day.
