She’s running. I am convinced of it. Hillary Clinton just can’t help herself. The woman can’t get off the stage and get on with her life. While most of the headlines coming out of her recent series of interviews given to The Guardian were about her ironic call for limited migration in Europe, she also delivered some interesting nuggets in regard to the American press. And, of course, the demise of the Republican party. She actually says that President Trump hasn’t been held accountable enough to suit her.
“The Republican party has collapsed in the face of Trump,” she said.
Clinton also criticised Trump’s repeated attacks on the press, behaviour she suggested had echoes of authoritarian and fascist political leaders who erode faith in facts and evidence. She said Trump had proved himself skilled at “tweeting and insulting and dominating the news cycles” and said he was too often left unchallenged by the press.
“I believe that where we are now in the political cycle is that the press does not know how to cover these candidates who are setting themselves on fire every day, who are masters of diversion and distraction,” she said.
Criticizing the press is nothing new for Hillary Clinton. She’s done it for as long as I can remember. Frankly, it’s been standard procedure for any politician to criticize the press whenever the coverage isn’t favorable. You will not be surprised to note, though, that when a Democrat like Hillary Clinton criticizes media outlets for less than vicious coverage of President Trump, there is radio silence from the virtue-signaling left that is now so outraged that Trump criticizes the media’s slanted reporting.
Hillary is irritated that the news media haven’t gotten smarter in their coverage of Trump. She even called out a network interview for omitting questions about an investigation into the Trump family empire and their tax returns. Gasp!
“I have a high regard for 60 Minutes and for Lesley Stahl who’s a terrific journalist,” Clinton said, before noting there was “not a single question” about the New York Times story.
“So at some point, the press has to get smarter because that’s basically how most voters get their information,” she said, adding that often the quest for “balance” resulted in facts being relegated in favour of opinion.
Hey, what happened to women supporting women? Hillary Clinton called Fox News “superb propaganda” and I must have missed the comeuppance she experienced from the other outlets as they rose to Fox News’ defense. How many times have we been told that an attack on one is an attack on all? Apparently, that only applies to everyone but Fox News.
“You watch Fox News, it’s always, ‘Something terrible is about to happen’, ‘Something terrible did happen’, ‘These people are doing all these awful things’. It is totally divorced from reality, but it is superb propaganda. I don’t know the best way to puncture that. You have to hope that reality catches up with politics and entertainment at some point.”
Hillary’s trashing of Fox is ironic, right? Isn’t CNN, for example, often referred to as the Clinton Network News by conservatives who are disgusted with their overly- favorable coverage of both Clintons? That’s been happening since the days of Bill Clinton playing saxophone on the Arsenio Hall Show.
And, of course, Trump is a racist. It seems to me that Hillary would remember all the awards and recognition Trump used to get from leading black activists and their organizations back when he was a Democrat and gave them all money and publicity. If he is such a horrible human being why did she and Bill run in the same circles? Why did they court his campaign donations? The Clintons even attended Trump’s wedding to Melania. Self-awareness is nowhere to be found in Hillary’s interview.
She also accused Trump of racism. “This is a person who believes in very little, but he does have visceral responses to what goes on in the world around him. He does have a strong streak of racism that goes back to his early years,” she said.
“I include his anti-immigrant tirades because he characterises immigrants in very racially derogatory ways, but he was Islamophobic, he was anti-women, he really had the whole package of bigotry that he was putting on offer to those who were intrigued and attracted to him.
Bless her heart. She just can’t accept that she lost the election to Donald Trump. She is really unable to get past it. Bitter is not a good look. This is why I think she will run for a third time. Heck, if Biden can, why not her? Neither of them seems to realize that their time has come and gone. Their name recognition will only carry them so far in 2020. The next generation is ready to push them aside.
The power to destroy people’s lives is what keeps the she-devil going.
That is the only logical explanation why she is still breathing - Satan is NOT finished with her yet!
I hope so.
Maybe conservatives can run with an R behind their name. - Tom
She thinks she is president right now.
For what reason has anyone ever characterized her as brilliant? She’s a typical mediocre narcissist who would and did sacrifice pretty much her whole life in order to pursue elusive ‘greatness’. If she actually was driven by something more than her, she had the opportunity - based on Clinton foundation money - to do great good for people in the world. Doing that was not enough though. She needed to be ‘historical’ - as though anyone really ever is. She’s a pathetic person, and a failure.
She sure does want them looking at her goatsmellin’ ass. Yeah. Cover Trump. ROTFL.
That's because the old bat is stuck on stupid and addicted to the limelight. The hubris of this skank is beyond the pale. Someone needs to wire her jaw shut and break all her fingers so she can't speak or type. Then find a nice padded room to house her until that evil wretched body powered by Satan himself decides to let her come home to his pad.
I did appreciate her one comment about stopping the migration into Europe and by proxy; into the USA. Even a blind squirrel...
I thought it would make a good bumper sticker too.
Or she smells a real investigation coming at her and she is trying to head it off.
The field may have upwards of 45 contenders for 2020, many of whom will not just step aside to give her another clear path.
Many of the money backers are already gone. The Clinton Foundation donations are down 90%.
So what if Biden ran 3 times or 30. He hasn’t made it to the big house yet.
Then, there is the question of her health. She could barely walk in 2016 and could only manage maybe one or two campaign venues per week. She cannot phone it in again and expect to be 50 points ahead.
“Hillary Clinton Unplugged”?
Run!
Run for your lives!
That woman is so full of shirt that if they’ve unplugged her, there’s a turd tsunami coming!
The more Hillary blathers in public the better, because it will drive the Democrats nuts, and drive more wedges between factions as well as piss off all 30 or so potential candidates.
It’s because they’re too busy trashing him.
Hillary is so evil she smells like boiled cabbage, farts and urine.
Hillary is saying that the president is too often unchallenged by the press. She really is out of her mind & 180° off the mark. I guess most of us know who is unchallenged by the press. I can’t believe she would make a statement like that thinking anyone would believe it.
- And, of course, Trump is a racist -
FakeNewsMSM still haven’t challenged Bill and Hillary about whether or not it’s true that they began the “Trump is a bigot” meme, or whether it was just FakeNews made up by NYT’s Healy & Choziak, to encourage the Clinton campaign to run with it!
29 Feb 2016: Wikileaks Podesta emails: *Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT*
From Patrick Healy New York Times
Amy Chozick and I are doing a story about how the Clinton campaign and its supporters view Trump as a general election...
I wanted to run some points by you about President Clinton, based on our reporting with allies and campaign advisers and other Dems who have spoken to him...
President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed him as dangerous and bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...

Millions of ordinary Americans support Donald Trump. Here’s why
by Thomas Frank
Guardian 8 March 2016
Only racism, they tell us, is capable of powering a movement like Trump’s, which is blowing through the inherited structure of the Republican party like a tornado through a cluster of McMansions.
Trump himself provides rather excellent evidence for this finding...
This gold-plated buffoon has in turn drawn the enthusiastic endorsement of leading racists from across the spectrum of intolerance, a gorgeous mosaic of haters, each of them quivering excitedly at the prospect of getting a real, honest-to-god bigot in the White House...
Ambassador Stevens was unavailable for comment.
There could be a democrat Operation Hummingbird (aka Night of The Long Knives) just like Himmler laid on for Hitler when the SA leadership was feeling its oats and openly contradicting Hitler. Hillary and several other "big name" democrats would be on the same list as the Republicans and Independents who would be eliminated.
JMHo
All Rat internal polling and focus groups show that the Rats want her to STFU AND GO AWAY.
Kankles blew through $1.5 billion funding her incompetent failed campaign. Trump spent less than half of that.
Read “Shattered,” an up close and personal view of her failed campaign by two Kankles-supporting Rat reporters imbedded in her campaign.
They started out trying to write an obsequious “First Woman President” butt-kisser book. About halfway through they started to realize that Kankles’ campaign was a chaotic rolling dumpster fire, and she was a poor leader and candidate.
The reporters sadly concluded at the end of the book that she lost to Donald Trump because she was a tone deaf out-of-touch failure as a candidate. They choked as they said it, but they did say pointedly at the end that the blame for her shocking loss should be pinned on her personally. She was a lousy candidate who ran a lousy campaign.
LOL!
