Clinton: Being a Capitalist Probably Hurt Me in 2016 Because So Many Democrats Are Socialists
BY: David Rutz May 2, 2018 5:14 pm
Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that being a capitalist probably hurt her cause in 2016 because so many Democrats in the party today are socialists.
Her interviewer at the Shared Values Leadership Summit quipped Clinton might have been the first presidential candidate since World War II who had to stand up and announce she was a capitalist.
"Did it hurt you?" he asked.
"Probably," Clinton said. "It's hard to know, but if you're in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists, or self-described socialists, and I'm asked, ‘Are you a capitalist?' And I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability,' you know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh, she's a capitalist.'"
Clinton fought off a surprisingly sturdy challenge from Democratic Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for the 2016 Democratic nomination. Sanders won primaries and caucuses in 22 states, and he came close to pulling off an upset in Iowa, losing by less than half a point to Clinton.
She has laid blame on numerous factors for her eventual general election defeat at the hands of President Donald Trump, Sanders and his diehard supporters among them. Sanders ripped Clinton as beholden to Wall Street interests during the primary, and she wrote his attacks did "lasting damage" to her.

The switch in that picture is an “Emergency Stop” or “Kill” switch.
That is a fact and it’s funny as hell.
That is the Vodka talking.
I have a title for “her” next book: A Thousand and One reasons Donald Trump is president.

There is nothing more dangerous than a Rich Socialist.
Funny, but now 10 percent or so of millenials have shifted to the Republicans on account of they’re getting the CAPITALISM thing right...
Maybe one day an excuse will stick to the wall and she will shut up. Paradise at last!!!
I guess if you take enough Wall Street speaking fee money, you’re considered a capitalist.
"Capitalism,” a term of disparagement coined by socialists in the mid-nineteenth century, is a misnomer for “economic individualism,” which Adam Smith earlier called “the obvious and simple system of natural liberty” (Wealth of Nations).

Freepers stand for "free enterprise", or "economic individualism" -- but (not necessarily) for "capitalism", which socialists equate to the unjust exercise of power derived from wealth.
We know that Hillary lusts for power, any way she can get it. She failed to grab the immense political power that comes with the Presidency -- but, she can still exercise plenty of "capitalist" power, owing to the hundreds of millions of dollars the CCF has amassed.
She lost because she sucks the big wazoo as a person and a public official. There are other good reasons why she lost, but everything she has come up with are minor details or excuses.
Is that today’s official excuse?
Smartest woman in the world is taking a long time to figure this out.
Trusts pay tax on their income, although some beneficiaries may not realize it. Truster’s business.
Yearly? I don’t think Hillary can stand to brood for that long without announcing another definitive and totally unfair reason why the most qualified candidate ever (just ask her or anyone in her mainstream media propaganda machine) lost to the least qualified candidate ever. What if uninformed people erroneously thought that Hillary herself might have been at fault?
I didn’t mean that it would be a year before Hillary made another excuse. I meant that if you published a book a year later there would be enough new excuses to publish an addendum.
Once again revealing to all just why she has no ability or temperament to handle the presidency. She’s really sad! But there is seriously something wrong going on in her brain.
See my tagline...
I seriously think the woman is mentally ill.
Socialists? More like commies...
