Video: DNC attendees can’t name a single Hillary accomplishment

A clever rejoinder from CNS to the “Ready for Hillary” crowd: What is it, exactly, that you’re ready for? Lest you think they’re cherry-picking the least articulate Democrats they ran into, have a look at this new data from Pew. Alex Seitz-Wald, citing other data from the same poll, frets that Benghazi is more of a liability for Hillary than liberals think because it topped the list of her biggest negatives at 15 percent. Is that really her biggest liability, though? Behold:

pew

She spent eight years in the Senate and another four as secretary of state and yet her time as First Lady (including dealing with her husband’s affair!) is still her second-biggest credential within her own party. That’s her core liability. She’s been an icon for so long that people take for granted that her iconic status is based on major achievements. And it is, sort of — she’s achieved lots of power. She just hasn’t done much with it, which is why voters mention her tenure as SoS as something positive about her without mentioning anything she did as SoS. In fact, Hillary’s a more interesting example of the celebrity candidate than even Obama was. Obama skyrocketed to stardom and didn’t have to worry about the thinness of his actual record; that was, after all, one of his big selling points, that the country was ready for someone young and unspoiled by politics after the Bush years. Hillary’s trying to pull off something much harder, a celebrity candidate whose own fame has been his/her biggest credential for decades yet who, necessarily, will be running on experience. The better the GOP does at giving her the emperor’s-new-clothes treatment, demystifying her by forcing people to focus on how thin her record really is, the harder she’ll have it during the campaign — in theory.

I say “in theory” because … well, just watch these people cooing over her for no particular reason, by their own admission. The same Pew poll I cited above shows that 67 percent approve of the job she did as secretary of state even though there’s no “achievement” from her tenure commensurate with the disaster of Benghazi. There are lots of independents out there who couldn’t name a Hillary accomplishment either and who’d nonetheless behave just like the Democrats you see below. Demystifying an icon is very hard. And don’t forget that Hillary, uniquely among celebrity candidates, is able to run on someone else’s record in lieu of running on one of her own — namely, Bill’s. She won’t be easy to beat, as comically surreally true as this is.

Where were you? She was Co-President!

And Janet Reno was her deal and Janet wiped out and set fire to all those little children.

Need anymore be said?

That recipe for Hillary’s Chocolate Chip Cookies is for publication purposes only, it is not the ‘family recipe’ used by many of the Rodham’s. The Family recipe includes 3/4 cup of ground Arsenic, along with just a ‘dash’ of freshly rolled Strychnine. Oh, and don’t forget to mix powdered Ex-lax with the white confectioners sugar for a memorable topping display.

What office did she hold again when Hillarycare was pushed?

Unelected co-president. And she was holding closed door meetings.

And before that it was called Kennedycare (which is what Obama TRIED to call it after fat dead red Ted died).

The same way Valarie Jarrett ordered the bombing of Libya to clear out Qadaffi’s tribe and make it safe for Al Qaida: by ordering her underling with a higher “official” title to do it for her.

Hillary? Accomplishments?

Well, using her own approach to questions about her........What the ph*que difference does that make, anyway?

Hillary(!) has several accomplishments: 1) abysmal taste in wardrobe — what is it with those ugly pant suits (?), and 2) she drinks alcohol like a thirsty camel. Other than those two items, none.

You know, maybe a drinking contest could settle the Ukraine situation. Hillary versus Putin, shot for shot. Victor gets the Ukraine as a puppet state. NWO or Russian Federation?

Hillary has a famous last name.
Got to be co president despite the law.
Designed obamacare.
Made a ton of money in cattle futures.
Found the missing rose law firm billing records.
Lost a dear friend, Vince Foster
Dodged snipper fire.
Got elected senator from a state she didn’t live in.
Got appointed sexretary of state with no qualifications.
Dodged any accountability for Benghazi.

Looks qualified to be a democrat candidate for president.

She’s an excellent money manager (Rose Law billing records).
She's excellent at economics as evidenced by the fact that she made a killing in cattle futures.
She managed to escape justice by leaving her fingerprints on classified FBI files and lying through her teeth by denying she ever saw them.
She stood by her man, a philandering, womanizing sexual predator.
She cozied up to world renowned terrorist Yasser Arafat and his wife.
She carpet-bagged her way into the Senate.
She successfully dodged sniper fire at an airport in Bosnia.
She armed the Syrian “Rebels” with weapons from Libya.
She refused to send help to four brave Americans who died in Benghazi.
She "reset" relations with Russia which resulted in a more friendly and less aggressive former Soviet Union.
She granted Afghanistan the status of a major non-NATO ally.
She successfully dodged answering pertinent questions about what really happened in Benghazi by coining the phrase, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

The list goes on and on, but, as has already been mentioned. the number one reason the left loves Hillary so much is.....

She is not a Republican.

To the young lady...have you met Bill Clinton, no, he would like you, I think so...

If you do meet him, just don’t be wearing a blue dress.

The Democratic Party wanted to elect the first ‘black’ President, and they did. You know how that worked out. Now they want to elect the first woman President. Qualifications are secondary, all they need is an icon.

When the hildahag was in the WH she had no authority to order any government agency employee to do anything. However, recall when slick was president and the democrat's mantra was; Two for the Price of One? To me and many others I'm sure, all that meant was that we the people took a double screwing. It was common knowledge that the hildahag was slick’s boss and pretty much made the calls in the WH without challenge. (SEARCH; Whitewater, Cattle gate, FBI files/Craig Livingstone, travel gate, Janet Reno/DOJ/Waco TX, V. Foster, R. Brown, etc.......) She had slick by the gonads over his peccadilloes and as documented, she relentlessly wielded her First Lady authority like a dictator. I'm not defending slick but allegations that the hildahag was the evil in the WH is hearsay and circumstantial but when circumstantial evidence is allowed to be laid out to make a case, it has very often put many folks in jail. When it comes to the sinister, evil things that occur within her circle of influence (too many to even list) should eliminate any doubt that she was and still is up to her neck in criminal thuggery. In addition, as a junior attorney, she was fired from the Watergate investigative committee for colluding with the Kennedy family to fabricate and falsify documents of a federal investigation. Need more?
