Clinton’s first big speech will focus on crime and policing

"Baltimore is burning," Hillary Rodham Clinton told donors this week. As Jennifer Epstein reports for Bloomberg, the former secretary of state will be giving a speech on criminal justice later Wednesday at Columbia University in New York -- the first major speech of her nascent campaign.

She's finally giving a speech on a topic that she knows something about!

“Baltimore is burning,” Hillary Rodham Clinton told donors this week.

Talk about a Blue city. Baltimore was swirling around the commode 40 years ago. The best things about the city THEN were Memorial Stadium, the Colts, and the Orioles. Oh, and National Bo.

The Blue-City Model

Baltimore shows how progressivism has failed urban America.”

Like “O” making it up as she goes along and MARRIED to the MSM!

That's a strictly opportunist approach to campaigning and she'll be the candidate (like “O”) who is nothing, in and of herself ... but who IS the ‘bought and paid-for’, populist cult leader of the MSM, spewing all and sundry based solely on what is in the news TODAY! That's leadership?

Evita is as much of a ‘leader’ as “O” and that ain't no compliment.

“Hillary calls for transport of criminals to Zimbabwe”.

If Democrats are going to shift their overall election meme to "those poor black and brown folks", we will see a racial chasm like never before in the vote.

Every white person I know, left and right, is just plain sick of this sh!t.

[hal ogen]

What an insane world. One of the world’s greatest criminals giving a lecture (paid probably) on “criminal justice”. Excuse me...I have to go jump off a cliff. Apparently, it is hopeless.

[Phlap]

Hillary on law and order. This should be Rich. Maybe she will mention sexual abuse and rape, something her husband has mastered advocated for a long time.

We should be able to nail Hillary and other liberals on issues like this.

Reason being, Baltimore, and so many other cities, have been governed by Democrats for generations.

The failures of Baltimore and other cities are not due to anything Republicans have done or didn’t do, because Democrats run these places. In some of these cities, Republicans don’t even field candidates for mayor or city council. Only Democrats have any chance at being elected. Only Democrats are ever elected.

So we should be able to nail Hillary on this. Hillary is a good Democrat, and good Democrats run Baltimore and other cities. Considering that, what does Hillary want to see happen?

And, if these issues are so compelling, what has her good Democrat colleague, Obama, done as president about these issues? What the heck would she do if elected president??

And racism is not an issue in Baltimore. Baltimore has a black mayor, black chief of police, majority black city council, and numerous black policemen. So the racial disparities they complained about in Ferguson don’t exist in Baltimore.

So not only do Democrats run Baltimore, but black people are the power structure of this majority black city.

Baltimore is burning, so send HRC money. She isn’t going to do anything about any problem and never has, but keep those dollars flowing to her, folks.

I hope HRC makes American history by being the first former First Lady sent to prison.
