Last night, all five Democrats running for president spoke at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Hall of Fame Dinner, broadcast on CSPAN. Hillary Clinton’s speech might as well have been titled, “I Am Woman.” That ain’t gonna work, sister.
Hillary’s entire speech was about how she’s a woman. Her mother was a woman. Her daughter is a woman. Her granddaughter will be a woman. Thus, vote for me, a woman. She even bragged she’s gonna keep talking about her bein’ a woman, “get used to it it’s a long campaign!” The brain dead brain trust around her has clearly decided she lost to Barack Obama in 2008 because he was a black man, so now, she has to run as a woman, to make history, because that’s the only reason Democrats voted for Barack over Hillary in 2008; to make the history of the first black president. Cookie cutter campaigning has never been so calculated, ice cold, and morally bankrupt.
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley threw their hands up and declared the game is rigged. Tada! They don’t even have to say Hillary’s name, she’s campaigning against herself at this point. Hillary cut and pasted a few mentions of hedge fund managers into her speech, which she never would do absent Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, so it sounded like an afterthought, which of course to Hillary it is. Not one thing Hillary says is relevant as long as she ignores, and her opponents point to, the rigged game from which Hillary emerges with her hand out. She’s digging herself quite a deep hole, with Sanders and O’Malley happily watching.
O’Malley stuck a knife in too, calling for the 1933 Glass Steagall Act to be reinstated now, which one of Hillary’s ivory tower neoliberal economists recently said is not part of Hillary’s agenda. That right there is a deal breaker for most Democrats. Glass Steagall, the separation of banking from investment speculation, a foundational cornerstone of the New Deal, is universally accepted as Step One to unrig the game. Hillary doesn’t support it. Her husband repealed it. Why the hell elect her.
Hillary lives on another planet. Planet 1%, where her entire inner circle has never, not once, felt the suffocating tyranny of the rigged game, so hopelessly out of touch with reality, they even think Barack Obama ran as a black man trying to make history, which he did not. Just happened to be who he was. Barack never spoke of it unless absolutely forced to do so. Still doesn’t.
Hillary has always been this utterly inauthentic. She doesn’t seem to care, or know. Oblivious. Not one shred of self awareness. Does she even know how entitled she sounds when she brays she plans to be the first woman president, claiming somehow that’s the entire fulfillment of the American dream? She Is Woman, Hear Her Roar. If Americans want to make Hillary the first woman president, we will do so for reasons other than the history we might make.
Hillary’s message is never going to hit the target if it stays so shamelessly entitled, self-absorbed, and irrelevant to 21st century America. The polling in Iowa and New Hampshire is proving it.
Beauty is skin deep.
Ugly goes to the bone.
Hitlery is living proof.
Hillary’s upstairs maid AND her head butler both said she was ‘down to earth’... does that count?
Webb Hubbell is still alive. You might be thinking of McDougal
“Vote for my vagina!”
How’s that workin out for ya, Hill?
Cankles that won’t quit.
Yes he's "rehearsed" - listen to enough candidates, and you will find they all have their "stump" speeches. He's definitely a slow and steady wins the race kind of guy. Unflappable. A man with a plan, and probably the hardest working guy you will ever see.
The photo was taken during her July, 2011 trip to Bali as Secretary of State.
She’s more like Groundhog Day.
Do you know anything about that grimace/crying photo of Walker? Strange picture for any public official. Better have come from his Dad’s funeral or something similar. Otherwise, very Boehner-esque.
[That is, unless one of the debate moderators, such as Stephanopoulos, makes up a new topic with a question like: “Do you support states that want to ban contraceptions?”
They ain’t gonna get away with that with Cruz.
Have you seen his debate credentials? He may be the best overall debater in 50 to 100 years in this country. Heck they named the debate club at Harvard after him.
He’ll spank the moderator like the spoiled child he is.
Oh, and Hillary claims to be a woman? /Shock
I was aware of that, but IMO Webb has a very famous daughter, and he isn’t given credit. Imagine that done to a woman.
As for McDougal, he is one guy I began to have an affinity for toward the end.
Unlike Susan, the old guy saw Clinton for exactly who he was. He died alone in prison when deprived of his medication (I believe). I’m sure he had done things to deserve his time in prison, but it still bothers me he is just one more destroyed person left behind in the Clinton’s wake.
It’s a beach coverup, and give thanks to the merciful gods of fashion for it; it is the only thing between your eyes and the sight of Hillary in a bathing suit.
If we could actually get all the information on this hag, who would believe it? I think she’s been involved in just about everything offensive to your middle-of-the-road average citizen.
I hope I live to see the day she and her husband croak.
That's a good hypothetical question. The left keeps telling its idiot voters that Republicans want to ban all contraceptives.
"So, Mr. Republican Candidate, do you support states' rights, or do you support freely-available over-the-counter contraceptives? Pick one."
Cruz would understand the false premises underlying the question and would knock it out of the park. I bet Perry would just sit still with a grin on his face.
“Rock star” Obama won partly because most people knew nothing about him, the corrupt media therefore able to deify him.
Hillary, on the other hand, is not only well known but has a very questionable track record.
Also, lawless Obama has arguably hurt the Democratic party which doesn’t help Hillary.
