Hillary Clinton on Election Night: ‘They Were Never Going to Let Me Be President’
Daily Beast ^ | April 20 | Gideon Resnick

Posted on 04/20/2018 7:34:08 AM PDT by Dahoser

“No one in modern politics, male or female, has had to withstand more indignities, setbacks and cynicism. She developed protective armor that made the real Hillary Clinton an enigma. But if she was guarded about her feelings and opinions, she believed it was in careful pursuit of a dream for generations of Americans: the election of the country’s first woman president.”

That would have been the nut graf of The New York Times story about Hillary Clinton’s historic victory that would have run under the headline “Madam President” spread across six front-page columns, according to reporter Amy Chozick’s new book, Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling.
.
.
.
… That’s when Robby, drained and deflated, watching the results with his team in a room down the hall from Hillary’s suite, labored into the hallway of the Peninsula to break the news. Hillary didn’t seem all that surprised. ‘I knew it. I knew this would happen to me….’ Hillary said, now within a couple of inches of his face. ‘They were never going to let me be president.’”

Dearest Hillary:

Did you ever consider that the reason “they” wouldn’t let you be president wasn’t because you were a woman, it was because you were an unappealing candidate, you ran a lousy campaign, and you are as crooked as a corkscrew?

The Hillary campaign effectively took control of the bankrupt DNC. The campaign then merged the two such that there was no seperate entity as the DNC

Once the campaign was lost, there was no clear path back to a functioning DNC.

There was a serious break far beyond mere psychotic

Well they certainly tried to make her president in New Jersey where even die hard democrats were not putting up campaign signs of support for her.

There were Trump supporters everywhere.
It was shocking that Jersey went for Hillary.

So should the voting system in NJ be looked into?

maybe

Identity politics.....’I should be potus because I am a woman, gay, lesbian, black, Hispanic, tranny, Muslim, or fill in the blank’. She hides behind her ‘womanhood’ and never considers despite massive voter cheating and fraud she still lost because she is a cheating corrupt crook. The demon raps should run their perfect candidate in 2020..a gay black tranny illegal immigrant felon single parent on disability ebt ...’her’ personal political positions should have zero to do with voter’s decisions....perfect world for them..

"That switch was flipped around midnight on 11/8/16. She went from “sort of whacky” to totally bat-sh!t crazy within a half hour’s time. She never will recover; there’s not enough therapy available on God’s green earth."

Her daily "Ground Hog Day" thrust upon us is worse than a horror movie of a headless horseman wondering around yelling "where is my head!"

What is more evident with the pictures posted of her in this thread, what did Bill ( a handsome lad in his younger years ) see in her and hook his wagon to hers? I mean does he have Momma issues or what issues does she have ( I still want to know more on her relationship to Alinski ) ? I mean it has got to be some real big dysfunctional power trip deal, as a Tina Turner song runs in my head "Whats Love..." and you can ask it can't be that.

I am so tired of them and how they were thrust upon us in 92' and I dreaded them not going away, and Rush is right they didn't, neither will BHO. Unless Rudy is the deal maker to make them go away as "Sundance" sort of denotes over @ CTH, and they play a game of MAD...

Is it just me, or is there some delicious irony in the fact that this article was published by the “Daily Beast”?

Sorry for typos here is a cleaned up version.

Biden’s comment “You guys don’t understand these people. The Clintons will try to destroy me”

I think we should also be investigating the possibility that the Clintons used the justice department to go after and destroy key individuals within there own party to control it... over the years there have been plenty of head scratchers for me of democrats that got in trouble legally and had there political lives destroyed....best examples being Jessy Jackson junior and the 50,000 in bribe money found in his freezer, john blogovitch selling a congressional seat.

Theses individuals are all probably guilty but I think the reason they were gone after was to remove them from presidential aspirations so that the Clintons would not have a serous challenger to the leadership of the party.

The reason the democrat party is devoid of competent leadership is the Clintons have GUTED THE PARTY TO COPNTROLE IT OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

Candidate Trump Tweets Video Of Hillary Clinton Referring To Blacks As “Super-Predators”

Candidate Donald Trump retweeted the video of a glammed-up Hillary Clinton referring to black gang members as “super-predators” who need to be “brought to heel” in support of criminal sentencing reforms in 1996.

Clinton has faced this controversy already during the 2016 campaign. “Well, first of all, you know, I have said that I should not have used that word. You know, I was talking about drug gangs and traffickers and cartels, but it was a poor choice of words,” Clinton told the hosts of WWPR-FM’s “The Breakfast Club,” a popular black radio show in New York City in April.

During the heat of the 2016 Democratic primary she was interrupted by Black Lives Matter activists demanding an apology for her use of the term. “Do you want to hear the facts or do you just want to talk?” she asked the protesters before they were removed from the building.

Bill Clinton who signed the super-predator sentencing bill, was also confronted about the issue in April. He angrily told Black Lives Matter protesters that they “are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter.”

Host of ‘The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur said back then in February that this issue should cost the Clintons the black vote.

And it did.

The dumb bitch had the MSM, FBI, CIA, NSA, Obama and Hollyweird on her side and she managed to lose.

No one that has won a major party’s nomination had been under investigation for multiple felonies, either.

Robby thought Rubio would be the nominee. Podesta was bullish on Kasich. Bill and Hillary, still stuck in the 1990s, feared the Bush surname most of all.”

Just shows how clueless all these political professionals were. Jeb Bush?! Really?!

This is sad. This is the former first lady of the US and she is descending into madness. It’s not even fun to watch anymore.
