Even more bad news for Hillary Clinton
Washington Post ^ | June 30, 2015 | BY JENNIFER RUBIN

Posted on 06/30/2015 4:28:53 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Hillary Clinton’s re-launch did absolutely nothing to improve the trajectory of her campaign. And there are daily reminders that far from being Democrats’ best bet she may be the Republicans’ ideal opponent.

First, she generates as much enthusiasm as dental surgery. But don’t just take my word for it. A new poll from Democracy Corps and Women’s Voices, Woman Vote Action Fund shows that Clinton’s hopes rest with “the changing demographic reality of the new American electorate. Unmarried women, people of color, millennials—voters of the Rising American Electorate (RAE)—will make up a majority of voters for the first time in 2016.” But therein lies Hillary’s problem. “[Democrats’] base, specifically RAE voters and unmarried women, betray a huge disparity in interest and enthusiasm for participating in the 2016 elections compared to their more conservative counterparts. A 67 percent majority of non-RAE voters describe their level of interest in the highest terms (a ‘ten’ on a ten-point scale). Among RAE voters, this number drops to 48 percent. These voters demonstrate real doubts about the ability of the government to deliver on the change they need. The disparity in interest among Democratic base groups is a direct threat to their strategy, regardless of the outcome in 2016.”

... And third, Hillary Clinton’s noxious sense of entitlement, cronyism and lack of transparency continue to dog her. When an MSNBC panel rips her for lying that she turned over “all” her work emails and says her private server was instead an attempt to evade Americans’ right to know what is going on in their government, it’s a sign things are not well for her.

RAE = All three major classes of moochers.

Things are going well enough to let her get away with it Scot-free, so they can't be all that bad. If the media will cover up four dead in Benghazi - and they did - they'll cover for that too. So how do you spell "ruling class"? This way:

The Post tells us that the University of Missouri at Kansas City balked at Clinton’s $275,000 speaking fee. “So the school booked the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.” ...Chelsea Clinton, devoid of virtually any accomplishment independent of her parents got $65,000. For a 10-minute talk.

That wasn't an honorarium. It was tribute.

Sure let’s make sure Hillary is elected next! I don’t support Jeb at all but really the degree of idiocy is mind numbing.

So Rubin only thinks we can beat Hillary if we run Rubio or Jebsito and forget opposing gay marriage.

“I don’t support Jeb at all but really the degree of idiocy is mind numbing.”

The GOPe has been told over and over and over that we will not vote for Jeb and still they persist. I’d say that is mind numbing idiocy right there.

What part of Bush I, Dole, McCain and Romney losing does the GOPe not understand? What part of Bush II setting us on the path to bankruptcy is unclear?

Why should we vote for Bush III who will just repeat the charade?

Look at the electoral votes that she already has locked up.
California, New York, all of New England, Illinois, etc, etc. No matter who the Democrats nominate the Republicans will find a way to lose.

She'll partner with Trump, and they'll run against Jeb and Scott Walker.

Listen, calling election setups is like arranging fight cards. The goal is to get a big purse.

I don’t care anymore. The Republic is done and over with. So I don’t see the point in voting for someone as reprehensible as Jeb, even it he’s slightly less reprehensible than someone else. Jeb is in the tank for global warming and open borders, and I will NOT vote for someone with those views. Period.

At this point I see little difference between the Republican and Democrat parties. Hell, at least the Democrats have actual principals they believe in and are willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve. You’ll never see that kind of behavior from the feckless Republicans.

I personally want to see the Republican Party completely fail in order to make way for an actual conservative party. And if it’s not possible for conservatives to be elected because the country is too far gone, then so be it. We lost and I’m going to get along with my life.

Funny ... I didn't see anything to suggest that Yeb Boosh was bowing out. Besides, there are plenty of other RINOs that think they could be the GOPE nominee, any one of which, because they will have lost the conservative base, would be the best news Mrs. B-J Clinton could ever hope for.

Keep your chins up, girl!
