Hillary's all in for 2016. Whoopee.
She officially arrived Sunday - but not in the flesh.
She announced her decision with a low-key tweet and a two-minute video featuring a diverse lineup of adorable Democrat voters, a sappy message about being "a champion of everyday Americans" and very little face-time for herself.
Then, to prove she's still a grassroots Chicago girl at heart, the multimillionaire from Chappaqua sneaked out of New York at 70 mph on one of the phoniest "road trips" of all time.
Chauffeured by Secret Service men in a three-van convoy bound for Iowa, she actually met a few regular "flyover people" at a gas station in Altoona and she made a sneaky pit stop in Ohio at a Chipotle.
With her oversized shades and trusty aide Huma Abedin paying the bill, however, Hillary was spotted standing in line at the popular Mexican chain restaurant.
When the media swooped into the Chipotle a day later, they learned that Hillary and Huma had stiffed the kids behind the counter.
Caught not leaving a tip for the working class is not a good PR move for a wealthy everywoman who says she'll fight for the struggling everyman.
As Rush Limbaugh pointed out, that little socioeconomic gaffe revealed how badly out of touch Hillary is with the people she's counting on to vote her and Bill back into power.
Which raises the big question: "Why 'Hillary for President'"?
She's the Democrats' default presidential nominee, the Entitled One, but she's a lightweight on every scale.
Quick. What does Hillary stand for?
Has she ever had a deep thought or a good idea about policy - foreign or domestic?
What has she done in her public life so far to make this country a better place? What is her great vision for America?
And what are her great career accomplishments? Not many.
She was basically handed a U.S. Senate seat.
Big deal - a liberal Democrat carpetbagger wins in liberal New York. And then makes herself invisible for six years in the Senate.
As secretary of state, her highlight reel includes Benghazi and a string of failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia and China.
Her biggest achievement as secretary of state was racking up a record number of frequent flyer miles.
For her debut in Iowa this week Hillary was dodging tough questions from reporters and carefully speaking in political generalities, platitudes and soundbites.
She was trying so hard to put some daylight between herself and President Obama that she almost sounded like my dad.
She was promising to make the economy grow by cutting bad regulations and she mentioned adding market-based reforms to what's she thinks are the good parts of Obamacare.
Maybe Ms. Authentic 2016 was trying out her Maggie Thatcher impersonation. (Believe me, I knew Maggie Thatcher and Hillary is no Maggie Thatcher.)
Unfortunately for the country, Hillary can't escape being Hillary. And if she's saying anything about the economy that makes sense, it's pure accident.
Hillary can't compare to Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, the first of a gang of young, smart, accomplished conservative Republican presidential candidates who are not stuck in the 1990s.
The announcement speeches by Rubio and Paul were great - full of vision and ideas about reform in Washington and calls for reasserting America's prosperity at home and leadership abroad.
Meanwhile, Hillary's really just running on a single issue - that she's a woman and it's time for America to have its first woman president.
Over the next 19 months I think millions of everyday voters are going to figure that out. Maybe the liberal media might too.
Why? Because it is time for America to elect a bitchy, rich, old white woman and Leona Helmsley is no longer available!
Yesssir, a champion.
Good questions about what does Hillary stand for?
What are her issues? She wants to be a champion for all who are not white males, who aspire to the middle class and beyond. Okay.........
Hillary is just such an unappealing personality.
She may be reliably liberal, as liberals check off positions such as Hillary favoring abortion, homosexual marriage, global warming, universal pre-school, expanding Obamacare and evolving towards socialized medicine,etc.
But, her public persona is so irritating. She is not a natural politician. She just won’t persuade any unaffiliated or undecided voters with her persona.
Vote for Hillary because she has a vee-jay.
We could snatch that issue away, if someone such as Sarah Palin or Governor Susana Martinez or Governor Nikki Haley would enter the race..................
Don’t some pictures, such as this, make Hillary look like a madman???? Or disturbed, or whatever the politically correct description for a deranged mind is?????
Y not...
And who knows? Maybe one of these women will be a running mate for whoever wins the GOP nomination. Which will also help neutralize the concept of vote for Hillary just due to her being a woman.
Obama's policies sunk America's Middle Class and she stood with him but now claims she will fix that; she will not repeal Obamacare she may try and reinstate HillaryCare ; She has milked the Feminist Movement dry; She believes in her mentor Saul Alinsky, did her senior thesis on him; she espouses The Third Way rather than our Constitutional Republic; her sexual harasser husband Bill will be lose in the White House again....Hillary stands for power and wealth; she is arrogant and cunning; you can't trust her; she is famous as a prodigious liar; I hear loves Vodka......to elect this woman POTUS is akin to electing a an extremely large bag full of hot air going where ever the air current takes her.
Hillary for America...? Burp! Bull Pucky!!!
Hillary wants to be a champion for people. Okay.......
She reminds me in a way, of how Ted Kennedy was so inarticulate, when he was asked why he wanted to be president.
Hillary is parroting that she wants to be a champion as her reason for running. She sounds inarticulate to me, in that, she is parroting back something she memorized, word for word.
We’ve heard the word champion so much recently. Has this word been included in the talking points the Journ-o-list people hand out to liberals????
Hillary stand for communism with a small c.
Ohhh great, that’s all we need, a Dyke’O’Drama Hippobiga$$ ( hippopotamus )
They both were and are drunks. Ted is still "burning off."
