Chelsea Clinton takes questions from supporters in Lexington (barf alert)
Lexington Herald Ledger ^ | 4/29/2016 | Greg Kocher

Chelsea Clinton took questions from a friendly Lexington crowd Friday as she opened a campaign office for her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.(snip)

“Everything I care most about is at risk,” she said. “If I think about health care or education or the economy or women’s rights, I worry that all of that is currently under threat.

“It matters to me that my mom has been making progress and standing up for and advancing our values for literally longer than I’ve been alive. And I think what someone has been able to do is a good indication of what they will be able to do in the future. ... I think we need someone who is a problem-solver.”

Clinton fielded questions from the audience, including how her mother would tackle the heroin epidemic that has many addicts across Kentucky and the country in its grip.

“We need to be investing in both prevention and treatment,” Clinton said. “We have to build on what works. Sometimes that’s programs through churches and religious institutions, sometimes it’s programs through community centers, sometimes it’s programs through local hospitals. ... We need a massive injection of funding and hiring of social workers, treatment counselors and nurses, because we know that recovery requires a real team-based approach.”

Clinton did not address energy issues, or more particularly, coal. Republican Party of Kentucky spokesman Tres Watson said in a statement: “I hope Chelsea Clinton enjoys her stay in the Commonwealth and takes time to speak with some of the thousands of coal miners President Obama has sent to the unemployment lines and the thousands more her mother Hillary has promised to put out of work. Kentuckians cannot afford another four years of the same failed policies.”

Every sentence out of her mouth is a forehead-slapper.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

EVERYTHING SHE CARES FOR MOST is the Clinton Foundation money.

How old is Chelsea—35 or 36? This “my mom” stuff is becoming age inappropriate.

“Everything I care most about is at risk”

Ambassador Stevens said the same thing but unfortunately he was dealing with the Butcher of Benghazi.

Women’s rights are at risk????

Oh, she means the right to murder children. I guess maybe that is at risk but it’s hardly a central focus. The whole “women’s rights are at risk” thing is just an empty scare tactic. But I guess brain dead Liberals hear that and panic and think that only Hillary can save them from slavery to some evil, resurgent patriarchy.

Ummm, YEAH! You're making Trump's point, Einstein. Your mom is an abject failure.

There was a recent article which listed Chelsea’s education, career and family accomplishments. Of course everything has been handed to her, but the list of things which have been handed to here is fairly long — so she has a “resume” which may appear to be notable. The article also included her age as 26 which REALLY makes her sound like an overachiever.

I’m sure the typo that changed 36 to 26 was a pure accident.

Per Wikipedia:

Chelsea was born on February 27, 1980.

I think most of us forgot to celebrate her 36th birthday.

Did anyone ask her who was President for the last 7.5 years? Seriously, it needs to be pointed out that all these issues should have been taken care of by Obama.

If I think about health care or education or the economy or women’s rights, I worry that all of that is currently under threat.

#1 - From what I've seen, you're incapable of thinking.
#2 - You're not on Obamacare.
#3 - Education? Didn't you flunk out of Oxford?
#4 - You're married to a hedge fund guy.
#5 - Women's rights? Your father is a womanizer and your mother destroys all the women he sleeps with.

This woman is stupid and should probably be kept from the public view.

Our values? You mean stealing money and throwing it into her coffers?

“Everything I care most about is at risk”

If she was wearing those leather pants that she had on the other day, everything, whether she cares about it or not, within the blast radius is at risk if a seam gives out.
