The Dark Side of Hillary Clinton’s Electoral Rationalizations
The National Review ^ | April 10, 2017 | David French

Democrats’ post-election autopsy boils down to a battle between ideas and identities.

At this point, it’s safe to say that Nimrata Randhawa has a far, far better chance to be the first female president of the United States than Hillary Clinton. But here’s the question: When or if Nimrata (she goes by “Nikki”) — a conservative, Indian-American daughter of immigrants who married Michael Haley, became governor of South Carolina, and is now the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — wins a presidential election, will Hillary’s friends and supporters hail Haley’s ascension to the White House as a tremendous achievement for women? Will the fans of intersectional feminism laud the ultimate success of a woman of color?

Not likely. At this point, we all know the drill. There is one way and one way only for women — especially black or brown women — to take a true step forward, and that’s through progressive politics. Identity politics works like this: Progressives do everything in their power to explicitly and unequivocally stoke race- and gender-related resentments and grievances. Any pushback against identity politics is labeled denialism at best and racism or sexism at worst. Progressive ideas are so self-evidently superior that opposition is best explained as grounded in misogyny or the always-reliable “fear of change.” Opposition, even from women and even from people of color, is proof of the awful and enduring power of sexism and white supremacy....

A little off topic but a week after the last 88 THOUSAND dollar fundraiser this website STILL runs like a cold sick dog running up hill during February at the North Pole.

I would love to see a video of the election night Hillary. I know they were recording it up until the point they realized they were losing. Then they probably destroyed the evidence. I heard as the night progressed the inner circle quickly dispersed for fear of being in the line of fire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I won’t be voting for her. She is not a natural born citizen, both of her parents were Indian nationals when she was born and if they had taken her back to India , she would be too.

May be, but I don’t vote for ineligible candidates, so don’t nominate any if you want my vote.

I don’t vote for somebody just because they are someone’s daughter.

Children of foreign nationals inherit their parent’s nationality, Cruz, Rubio, Haley, George P. Bush, Kamala Harris and others all are ineligible because of their foreign national parent(s).
Born here of citizen parents is what makes one a natural born citizen.
Ted Cruz is eligible if Nimrata is.
