Hillary Clinton should prepare herself for a dogfight - not a coronation tour
The Telegraph ^ | 05/11/2014 | Peter Foster

Hillary Clinton is riding high in the betting for 2016, but this week was filled with reminders, if they were needed, that her dream of becoming America's first female president cannot be accomplished without indignity.

Officially, Mrs Clinton is currently enjoying her first spell outside public life for 30 years, but in practice her undeclared campaign is already filling the vacuum left by an increasingly marginalised and irrelevant-looking second-term president.

While Barack Obama was off fundraising in California this week, it was Mrs Clinton who was drawing all the attention on cable news.

First, Monica Lewinsky broke her silence of a decade, writing in Vanity Fair that she found it "troubling" that, as she saw it, Mrs Clinton "blamed not only me, but herself", backhandedly raising questions about the former First Lady's moral and emotional judgment.

Then Republicans in Congress voted to form yet another panel to investigate the handling of the Benghazi attacks in which two American diplomats and two CIA officers were killed towards the end of Mrs Clinton's time at State.

Mrs Clinton, who is certain to be called to testify, has already described the Benghazi episode as her "biggest regret" while in office, and conservatives will waste no opportunity to remind voters of a security debacle they say the White House deliberately tried to whitewash.

Then there was Boko Haram. Mrs Clinton's tweet drawing attention to Nigeria's kidnapped schoolgirls under the hashtag "#BringBackOurGirls" was initially hailed as a demonstration of her global influence, with Michelle Obama and other influential people joining a spontaneous campaign.

But conservatives were soon rushing to the television studios to point out that Mrs Clinton had repeatedly declined to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization while she was Secretary of State. Yet another attempt to question her record.

I just wish that following her indictment, trial, conviction, and sentencing for treason, Hillary was preparing herself for her last meal.

Uh-oh, the Thought Police are going to issue a summons to whoever wrote that headline since “Hillary” and “dog” are together in the headline.

This is all set up by Hillary and the Pervert.

Yep. I see a future news conference in which BJ apologizes to both females, Monica and Hillary embrace and celebrate their “sisterhood”, and Monica endorses Hitlery. The angry but dumb wronged-woman vote and the skanky ho vote are sewn up simultaneously.

I don't think most dogs are all that sensitive and, besides, do they really have their own Thought Police?

Hillary will never be President—I don’t think she will run—why?
1. She is too old and looks like an aging, mean, maiden aunt. Who wants to look at that for 4 years on TV?
2. Her record at Sec. of State has few (if any) accomplishments to trot out? Her reset with Russia was a failure on many levels.
3. Benghazai—I bet she cooked up the Video to cover her tracks. This going to look bad.
4. The Monica thing going to make her look like a woman who thinks of her career rather than a real marriage.
5. Rumors of her Lesbianism will not help her in the South.
6. Then there is Vince Foster—remember him?
7. Lastly—she is too close to Obama.

I respectfully suggest it is we who have turned their back on God.

I agree times 10 and we are about to reap the seeds we have sown.
