Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told an audience in New Zealand Monday that she gave “some thought” to permanently leaving the United States and settling in that country after Donald Trump scored his upset victory over her in 2016. “I want to thank some of you for sending good wishes a very long way during my campaign and the months that followed. I received a number of invitations from Kiwis to permanently relocate here,” Clinton tells the Auckland, New Zealand audience in a video posted by an organ of the Republican National Committee. “I must say, I really did appreciate...

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...

Why did working-class voters choose a selfish, thin-skinned, petulant, lying, narcissistic, boastful megalomaniac for president? With the 2018 midterms around the corner, and prospective Democratic candidates already eyeing the 2020 presidential race, the answer is important because it will influence how Democrats campaign. One explanation focuses on economic hardship. The working class fell for Mr. Trump's economic populism. A competing explanation -- which got a boost this week from a study published by the National Academy of Sciences -- dismisses economic hardship and blames it on whites' fear of losing status to blacks and immigrants. They were attracted to Mr....

The Clinton Foundation, after seeing a drop in donations amid increased scrutiny and "pay-to-play" allegations, is revving back up with a glitzy fundraising gala that coincides with a broader push by the Clinton machine to stay in the political spotlight. Axios reported Monday that longtime Clinton supporters received an invitation offering access -- a word that dogged Hillary Clinton throughout her failed 2016 presidential campaign -- to the family at a May 24 benefit for the Clinton Foundation. The cheapest tickets for the event will be $2,500 for cocktails and dinner. Deep-pocketed donors can lay out $100,000 for a package...

Hillary Clinton was back in the news last week thanks to a Sunday speech at the PEN America World Voices Festival, which sounded custom-designed to give Donald Trump a nosebleed. All told, her PEN performance was cool, crisp, and destined to make news -which it did. Which left me wondering: Isn’t there someone who can convince this accomplished, inspiring, barrier-breaking superwoman to stop whining about 2016? Someone? Anyone? Yes, what happened to Clinton was awful. She did not merely lose the presidency, she lost it to an opponent singularly unqualified to hold the office. But when it comes to the...

Several Democratic officials are asking Hillary Clinton to return the money that the Democratic National Committee paid her political group for her campaign email list and other resources. In February 2017, the DNC agreed to pay Clinton’s group Onward Together $1.65 million for her campaign email list, analytics, donor data and related items, The Intercept reported on Wednesday. The cache of material was worth more than $5 million; Clinton’s campaign made an in-kind donation of resources worth $3.5 million, and the DNC paid for the rest. Now a number of Democratic Party officials, including some state party chairs and DNC...

Former DNC boss and longtime Clinton insider Donna Brazile found a new excuse for Hillary’s electoral disaster this week; suggesting that Democrats were “crime victims” during the 2016 race for the White House. Brazile weighed-in on Hillary’s stunning defeat on social media over the weekend; calling on President Trump to “protect elections” after “criminal” activities swayed American voters away from the Democratic nominee. “While President Trump and his allies like to dismiss the idea of Russian interference in our elections as a “hoax,” those of us who were at the Democratic National Committee know better. We were the victims of...

Hillary Clinton took some more jabs at the media on Sunday, blaming negative coverage for playing a role in her loss in 2016. Clinton made her comments at the Pen America World Voices Festival and said that during her campaign, "the mainstream political coverage was influenced by the right-wing media ecosystem." She pointed to a "false equivalency" in the media's coverage, originally noted by Harvard University professor Thomas Patterson. Clinton also said that negative news imparted by election coverage "has had a leveling effect that opens the doors to charlatans."(snip) Clinton also said that media coverage has been more "straightforward"...

Subtitle: Covering Hillary Clinton’s campaign from before it started to the very last moment. Things were already looking bad when Chelsea Clinton popped the Champagne. It was just after 9 p.m. on election night and she was having her hair and makeup done in the family’s suite at the Peninsula hotel. She stopped to pour what somebody told me was Veuve Clicquot into everyone’s glasses, figuring that in a couple of hours Donald Trump’s run of early victories in red states (West Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama) would end and the map would turn back in her mom’s favor. Three hours later,...

“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,...

The release Tuesday of James Comey’s highly anticipated memoir has rekindled the simmering feud with top Clinton family advisers, who still blame the fired FBI director for President Trump’s 2016 election victory.

Former president Bill Clinton was caught with his pants down again, getting ready to ogle pretty young girls in a viral photo. In the comical photo posted by Barstool Sports, Clinton is seen with his zipper undone as two hot blondes walk past him on what appears to be a college campus. The lack of context for the viral photo makes it even more hilarious, since Bill looks dazed and confused, like he doesn’t know why he's standing there on a sidewalk. It also does not appear that the former president is accompanied by any of his chaperones or...

The 2016 nominee — whose political role in the party has been questioned by some Democrats this year — will speak alongside a set of likely presidential candidates next month. A set of likely presidential candidates will join their party's last nominee, Hillary Clinton, to raise money for the Democratic National Committee next month at its annual Women's Leadership Forum. California Sen. Kamala Harris, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and former Missouri secretary of state Jason Kander will speak at the May event in Washington, the second major fundraising effort by the DNC this year, following last month's "“IWillVote Gala."

Hillary Clinton blames misogyny, FBI, sexism, NRA, Russia for 2016 loss by Pete Kasperowicz | April 04, 2018 07:49 AM Hillary Clinton on Tuesday recited a list of several factors that contributed to her 2016 loss against Donald Trump, and said America is in a "really bad spot" with President Trump in the White House. "[E]very day that goes by there’s more evidence and more proof of Russia and fake news and Cambridge Analytica and misogyny and sexism," she said, according to Newsweek. "I mean it’s hard, it’s very hard." She said the "lock her up" chants that Trump led...

Video at link. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a New York audience this week that Fox News is giving her public statements unfair scrutiny because she is now a private citizen. President Trump’s 2016 campaign rival told a sold-out room at Rutgers University last week that reporters should stop telling her to “go away,” but on Tuesday she delivered a slightly different message. Mrs. Clinton told a group of women that she is part of “the resistance” against the White House’s agenda, but she wants less coverage of her efforts from Fox.

On Sunday night, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) shared one of the worst kept secrets of the Democrats: Hillary Clinton is a drag on the party. In a television interview, the embattled senator unloaded on the former first lady for dissing Donald Trump’s base and dumping on America’s hinterlands. As McCaskill said, “For those of us that are in states that Trump won, we would really appreciate if she would be more careful and show respect to every American voter and not just the ones who voted for her.” Ouch. McCaskill is guilty of nothing but telling the truth. So long...

ormer US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tore into US President Donald Trump's election campaign strategy today saying that he won the first TV reality election in the US. She said that on the basis of what he said in the election campaign in 2016, America did not deserve to have Donald Trump as the US President. She said that while she ran an election campaign that was done on conventional lines, talking serious issues, the other side behaved as if they were participating in a TV reality show. Clinton said that while she ran the presidential campaign like a...

In spite of her claims to the contrary, Hillary isn’t the Last Feminist Standing but could be the one that keeps falling It’s not the sprained hand Hillary Clinton sustained during her visit to India that should be of most concern, but her Mainstream Media-ignored, ongoing ‘brain sprain’. Only someone who is seriously brain sprained would claim that almost 52% of white women voted for Donald Trump because they were afraid to stand up to their husbands, sons and bosses who wanted them to cast their votes for the protege of former President Barack Hussein Obama.

NOTE: we probably have all heard of the infamous quote. Here is the source information for the story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I’ve read on the AltMedia that Hillary Clinton had an outburst, in which the pathological liar said probably the only truthful thing she’s ever said: “If that fu**ing bastard [Donald Trump] wins, we all hang from nooses.” So I did a search and found the source of that quote: Bill Still, of The Still Report videos on YouTube. On his website, Still describes himself as: A former newspaper editor and publisher. He has written for USA Today, The Saturday Evening Post,...

That explains why she didn't campaign in Wisconsin. I'm starting to think Trudeau only had the second worst trip to India by a lefty Western pol. Hillary isn't bitter. She's just sour and filled with hate. And the things she's saying are bad enough. “If you look at the map of the United States, there’s all that red in the middle where Trump won. I win the coast, I will Illinois, Minnesota, places like that... I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And...
