'It Is Soul-Crushing!' Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta on President Trump
Der Spiegel ^ | May 05, 2017 06:10 PM | Klaus Brinkbäumer and Britta Sandberg

Posted on 05/11/2017 8:18:56 PM PDT by Olog-hai

In an interview six months after the election, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, discusses the night of his candidate’s defeat, the mistakes made on the trail and Donald Trump, who he says is “unfit and unqualified” to serve as president. […]

Spiegel: Mr. Podesta, the election took place only six months ago. For many, though, it seems like an eternity has passed since Barack Obama’s presidency. Are you suffering?

Podesta: Yeah, Donald Trump has given a new meaning to dog years. The only constant seems to be his unpredictability. America lives in a state of constant turmoil. There were those who thought maybe that would calm down when he became president, but what has happened is that the pressures of the presidency have actually exaggerated those tendencies. So rather than trying to find some sense of normalcy, we get the 6 a.m. Saturday tweets that Obama ordered the bugging of Trump Tower without any evidence and with his entire intelligence community telling him that was not true and a lie. […]

Spiegel: Can he destroy Obama’s legacy in the period of just a few months? This week, Congress voted again on “Obamacare,” which he wants to radically change. He also wants to repeal many environmental laws and regulations that you helped craft.

Podesta: It looks like it. In the long term, his rampage against the environment is a very challenging problem — not just for the United States, but for the world. There’s still hope because there is a very strong group of political leaders in the United States who are committed to moving forward. They have the authority and the means to continue the project of clean energy. …

He thinks this is soul crushing?

Jesus describes what John being in for as simply something “worse than a millstone around the neck and being tossed into the sea”

That sounds pretty bad to me.
Worse than Trump being President.
Yep.

How do you think I feel? I feel terrible. It is soul-crushing.

BS. Psychopaths like Podesta don't have souls.

Podesta says America is constantly in turmoil. Really, the Democrats are in constant turmoil.

Spiegel: Mr. Podesta, there are many who say that Trump kills and eats puppies and kittens for breakfast. How does it make you feel having a man like that for a President, instead of the Queen of Benevolence and Mercy, Hillary Clinton?

I mean, come ON!

Obama is planning to appear on a panel with Merkel during the G20 in July. The same time Trump will be there.

John Podesta, discusses the night of his candidate’s defeat, the mistakes made on the trail and Donald Trump, who he says is “unfit and unqualified” to serve as president

Let me ask a question:if e-mails from Donald Trump were leaked to the press of him discussing hosting hot tub parties with little boys (one not even yet 7 years old), do you all think there would be a firestorm of 24/7 news coverage?

Yup. But when it was John Podesta, Hillary's campaign manager, Bill Clinton's former Chief of Staff who was caught doing so, the press instead goes to him for opinions about the character of President Trump!

The dem platform and all that they do is mostly based on ‘feelings’.

I am sorry about your loss. You are an intelligent man and I think your ideas will make this world a better place. The man who won- that is probably the highlight of his life and I cannot imagine his joy.

You are a class act and I am going to carry this with me today. Thank you!

Podesta has degenerated into the place of lost souls with no hope of salvation of living. He is a worthless hanger on with nothing left to hang on to.

(except his stolen money)

The entire Democrat group & the media are behaving live a much larger version of the witches in MacBeth, stirring the cauldron.

A pox on all their houses.

This isn’t just ‘aggressive’ journalism.

This is a bunch of hyenas fighting over what they perceive to be a potential kill & carcass.
