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.”

Most women are unable to separate personal interests and corporate interests.

Hillary gives off the smell of this being entirely personal. Imagine 310 million people subject to a single woman’s ambitions.

Blank open canvas? No, it is just a covering, scratch the surface and you’ll see the true picture.

Hey Brooks, read the Communist Manifesto & Rules for Radicals, and you’ll know everything about PIAPS’ policy positions.

ON the contrary, when I think of the Clinton’s the image that first comes to my mind is a vast and putrid kaleidoscope, whirling and twirling.

Hillary is just blank, open canvas who has lusted for power for its own sake her entire life.

How is it that Brooks ever got the label “conservative?” Not once in any article of his that I’ve read have any of his positions spoken to conservatism. It is impossible to slobber over Obama as he did in 2008 and be remotely considered a conservative.

David Brooks can’t be this stupid. So it must be that he’s a paid mouthpiece.

In the past presidential candidates had histories of reaching for and achieving goals along a not necessarily linear trajectory, with the white house apparently occurring to them after nearly entire careers elsewhere; in the military, respective state houses, etc.

It seemed as though they ended up in the right place at the right time when the opportunity to run for president presented itself.

The new generation of presidential candidates apparently have never aspired to anything but the top office. Hillary is a prime example.

Americans need to be very very wary of these kinds of people.

The picture is already painted, and sort of like a reverse image of Dorian Gray, the subject keeps getting older and older in life, while the portrait shows an unchanged younger person.

But Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, was pretty despicable and unlovable even back then. Time is not a friend of Herself.

better visualized as a roll of toilet paper that never runs out or flushes, you give it proper use but it never goes away
