David Brooks: Hillary ‘Just A Blank, Open Canvas’
Breitbart ^ | 2015-04-18 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 04/18/2015 12:30:08 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

New York Times columnist David Brooks said that Hillary Clinton’s policy platform is “just a blank, open canvas right now” on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour.”

Brooks stated that while Hillary is “quite a good candidate.” And “I like the unpretentious rollout,” “I still think it’s necessary to have policies. It feels like, from the get-go, it’s necessary to say, ‘I don’t only want to be president. Here’s what I want to do as president.’ and that is just a blank, open canvas right now.”

He’s partially correct. Hillary is a blankety-blank.

Hillary’s canvas has an awful lot of vermilion and brick red on it.

To be fair to Brooks, the headline gives the impression he asserted Hillary was an unknown quantity, which is absurd — we know who and what she is, an ambitious, lying, political bottom-feeder — he said her policy platform is a blank canvas, and that is true as far as it goes (and should be worrisome to everyone, regardless of their political positions): she could govern as a third term of Obama, or a revival of her husband’s presidency, or anything in between.

Bill Clinton redux would, provided the GOP retains control of both houses of Congress, not be so bad — remember welfare reform? Of course that possibility should distress the left almost as much as her governing as a continuation of Obama distresses us on the right.

Or perhaps he is angling for the WH Press Sec gig in Hitlery’s admin.

David Brooks obviously has a blank and empty brain.

"David Brooks: Hillary ‘Just A Blank, Open Canvas’"

Detroit was once a "Blank, Open Canvas" and look what demRATs have brought it to.
