For Clinton, “Stronger Together” Is Just Empty Words

It’s good to be Hillary Clinton. She has a long roster of Hollywood endorsements, a media that lets her campaign edit its own coverage, State Department personnel that still do her bidding to get her out of a pinch, and what a slogan: “Stronger Together.”

In a populace as divided as ours is today, those two words offer a sense of comfort. They imply that, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you will be listened to and represented by a Hillary Clinton White House. If only it were true.

We saw the first cracks in Clinton’s unity message right out of the gate. When asked to name the enemy she was “most proud of” at the first Democratic primary debate in October of 2015, Clinton went through a laundry list of predictable targets before adding, with a smirk, “the Republicans” – as in, the entire party; more than 59 million American citizens according to 2012 vote totals. How’s that for “stronger together”?

Then, in September, the bottom fell out. At a glitzy fundraiser in New York City, Clinton made the mistake of proclaiming how she truly feels about broad swaths of American voters. “You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” she told the crowd, all while standing at a podium emblazoned with her famous logo. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it.”

Clinton’s divisiveness doesn’t end there. Newly uncovered emails show her campaign’s contempt for what it describes as “needy Latinos” and “backwards” Catholics. These are not the words of a campaign that seeks to unite. But, then again, what more should we expect from a candidate that proclaims the need for “both a public and private position?” – Apparently the “stronger together” rallying cry falls into the former category.

Clinton has used her slogan in an attempt to draw a contrast with Donald Trump, noting at the second debate that “A lot of people are worried that maybe they wouldn't have a place in Donald Trump's America.” The truth is, however, there are baskets upon baskets of Americans that Clinton thinks she is stronger without.

For Clinton, “stronger together” leaves out the most vulnerable and innocent members of society: the unborn. Clinton’s alliance with the big abortion industry runs even deeper than President Barack Obama’s, as evidenced by her callous and unprecedented call to repeal a bipartisan, forty year-old law that prohibits federal tax dollars from funding elective abortion.

“Stronger together” ignores the strength we derive from our law enforcement personnel, whose support she snubbed and whose motivations she has impugned with ominous talk of “implicit bias” in police practices.

“Stronger together” dismisses the potential and value of women who may disagree with Clinton’s worldview, as made clear by her earlier claim that conservative women like me are “not enough” and by her embrace of an organization that would dare to call combat veteran and United States Senator Joni Ernst “window dressing.”

And “stronger together” ignores our sisters a world away languishing under brutal, anti-woman regimes like those in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which Hillary Clinton shakes a fist at with one hand while cashing their checks to the Clinton Foundation with the other.

For Clinton, “stronger together” could mean many things. It could describe her cozy relationship with the Democratic National Committee, which broke its own rules to prop up Clinton’s campaign during her contentious primary race.

It could allude to the logic behind the alleged pay-to-play practices at the Clinton Foundation.

Or perhaps it is an ode to her friends at the FBI who are willing to compromise the agency’s integrity to help her escape penalty for the mishandling of classified information – but a commitment to bipartisanship and inclusivity it is not.

Like so much of what Clinton says, “stronger together” sounds alluring, but the record doesn’t match the rhetoric.

Americans are stronger together without four more years of the Clinton’s scandals and secrets. That is why – to borrow another favorite Clinton phrase – this woman voter is not “with her.”

She is thinking stronger in a war that she expects to have with her no fly zone.

Stronger when you draft women too.

This article did not understand what Hillary means when she says “stronger together”.

What she means is that she and Kleptocracy Street lobbyists are stronger when they work together.

She is not lying about that!

It should be “Stonger for me!” given Hillary’s known imperious attitude.

More contamination mixed into a working formula until the solution becomes a failure.

She seems to like fascist symbolism.

(Which uncle does she favor?; Adolf, Benito or Tojo?)

Just asking.

IMHO

I think “Stronger Together” has a couple of meanings to Democrat voters:

1. “Collectivism Now, Comrade”.

2. The return of the “Clinton Co-Presidency”.

It’s sort of like Ebonics. Those in the “Club” understand the meaning. Outsiders - not so much.

I believe I heard her last night get real closed to saying “We can make America great again”. Or maybe she said “We can make America even greater.” Either way, she ran Trump’s slogan. He’s needs to do an ad using her words agreeing that Trump can “make America great again”.

“Stronger Together” is the collective state that the Socialist Marxist Democrats want to institute over America.
