Cowardly Hillary Clinton has vowed, many, many, times, not to “raise taxes on the middle class.” The middle class, she’ll argue, must be protected, encouraged, nurtured, and grown. That’s super, but if you ask her to define the middle class, things tend not to go so well. In fact, it appears she doesn’t really know what she thinks the middle class actually is. Take a look at what happened when a reporter asked her for a concrete definition of Hillary’s favorite voting bloc:

Hacked audio of Democrat Hillary Clinton speaking with donors about her then-primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, in February shows the nominee describing Sanders' supporters as uninformed and idealistic "children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their parents' basement."

“Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement,” Clinton said. “They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future.” “If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a...

Hillary Clinton suggested at a private fundraiser in February that young people supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., because they are political neophytes who still live with their parents, according to new audio released this week. “Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future,” the now-Democratic nominee said.

Hillary Clinton said in an interview with an Arizona radio station earlier today that border security isn’t as big an issue as Republicans have made it out to be. She spoke with KTAR about her beliefs on immigration and pushing for comprehensive reform in Congress, saying that she has a “long track record” on these issues. On the question of border security, Clinton said, “I think we’ve done a really good job securing the border. I think that those who say we haven’t are not paying attention to everything that was done the last 15 years under President Bush and...

PHOENIX — The United States has done a “really good job” of securing the border between Arizona and Mexico, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said in an exclusive interview Thursday. “I think we’ve done a really good job securing the border,” she said. “I think that those who say we haven’t are not paying attention to what was done the last 15 years under President (George W.) Bush and President (Barack) Obama.” Clinton said the federal government has added both border officers and obstructions, while the number of people attempting to cross the border has dropped. “Immigration from Mexico has...

She responds that Sen. Sanders also supported such a barrier: "a pedestrian fence in some places, a vehicle fence in other places."

Hillary Clinton apologized Friday for praising the late Nancy Reagan’s response to the 1980s AIDS crisis on the day of the former first lady’s funeral. Hillary had said, “It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS in the 1980s.” Clinton added, “With [Nancy’s] very effective, low-key advocacy…it penetrated the public consciousness and people began to say: we have to do something about this too.” The comments were not well received on the Left.

Hillary Clinton outraged LGBT activists on Friday with her comments at Nancy Reagan's funeral praising the former first lady for helping start a "national conversation" about HIV... . . Advocates in the San Francisco Bay Area – who survived the epidemic and had watched friends and loved ones die in great numbers – consider the Reagans, through their inaction, responsible for the death of thousands of LGBT people.

Hillary Clinton took part in the "Brown and Black" candidate forum in Iowa yesterday and laid the pandering on thick to her minority audience.

On Friday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell actually fact-checked Hillary Clinton’s suspicious tale of trying to join the Marines in 1975: "Those comments are being mocked by Republicans today and they’re getting two Pinocchios from Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler....Why on earth would she go to a Marine recruiter in 1975?...It doesn't make sense." Her guest, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was so taken aback that the Florida congresswoman attacked Mitchell for asking questions: "With all due respect, Andrea, why on earth are we talking about this?" Mitchell hit back: "Because she brought it up in New Hampshire the...

Published on Nov 4, 2015 Freudian Slip: Under my administration, former presidents won't have to declare their criminal records on job applications. Hillary Clinton Says if Elected, "Former Presidents Won't Have to Declare Criminal History" When Looking for Work. Hillary Clinton unexpectedly announced a major policy position Friday, promising to defend former presidents with criminal records, according to Slate.

Best gaffe ever? Best gaffe ever. During a speech to the Charleston chapter of the NAACP on October 30, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton discussed criminal justice reform. What kind of criminal justice reform? ---SNIP-- "Earlier today I announced that as president I will take steps to 'ban the box,' so former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process,"

A palate cleanser via Slate, which wonders if this is a brain fart or something more substantial, like a Freudian slip. Me, I’m just wondering whether by criminally inclined former presidents she was thinking of Bill or herself in 10 years. What if that FBI investigation into her server bears fruit and she can’t get hired anywhere after her second term ends in 2025?

The city of Houston decided on Tuesday not to engage in the mass delusion that says that men are women and women men. The 2-1 vote not to allow biological men to use female bathrooms, and not to force employers to continue paying employees who decide to impersonate members of other sexes on the job, is a welcome breath of fresh air.
