Hillary Clinton: The Greasy Pole Beckons Again
American Spectator ^ | 1/2/2022 | David Catron

Posted on 01/03/2022 12:06:05 PM PST by simpson96

It was inevitable that the implosion of the Biden administration would lure former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton back onto the political stage. The voters showed her the door five years ago, yet she remains unable to grasp what they were trying to tell her. The latest manifestation of this learning disability began last month with an online lecture series in which Clinton holds forth on “The Power of Resilience.” The series culminates with a cringeworthy reading, complete with feigned attempt to hold back tears, of the speech she purportedly prepared in anticipation of victory in 2016.

(snip)

If this undelivered unity speech seems wildly at odds with Clinton’s actual behavior and rhetoric, before and after the 2016 election, it is no illusion. It is impossible to reconcile it with her infamous “basket of deplorables” remark, in which she characterized millions of Americans as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic.” The speech is also inconsistent with her oft-repeated post-election claim that Trump was an “illegitimate president.” Indeed, it even fails to conform to the ostensibly benign point of her lectures, part of which she devotes to slandering Trump as a “bully” and a “creep.”

Such ad hominem cheap shots are, of course, far more characteristic of the Hillary Clinton we all know rather than the circumspect observations of a seasoned leader who has learned from her mistakes. She recently offered seemingly reasonable advice to the Democrats about avoiding a far left turn before the 2022 midterms, a clear reference to “the Squad.” Yet she continues to attack former President Trump based on the most absurd leftwing conspiracy theory since the Russia collusion hoax.

“The Greasy Pole Beckons Again”

It wasn’t greasy before she tried climbing it.

She fell down a lot, but the Media made that secret.

Finally, on 9-11 2016, the problem could no longer be contained. It was recorded on People’s cell phones, no more hiding that truth.

Oh, that big black guy who threw her into the SUV just before it took off within seconds, that guy has been dead for years. Anybody close to the PIPAPS gets croaked in short order.

That’s the true whistleblowing Linda Tripp did. Not Monica.

Her thinking (and that of many of her ilk) is that forcing Biden to retire (i.e., not run) is inevitable and that they only viable option is to put HER in the slot. There’s no way the DNC or the power broker donors are gonna fall for Harris as the front runner. To that end, it’s going to be interesting to see just exactly how she maneuvers around to dis Michelle Obama enough to keep her out of contention.

Her loss to Pres. Trump eats at her like acid every day. I confess that I relish her distress,
