Last night, all five Democrats running for president spoke at the Iowa Democratic Partys Hall of Fame Dinner, broadcast on CSPAN. Hillary Clintons speech might as well have been titled, I Am Woman. That aint gonna work, sister.
Hillarys entire speech was about how shes 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 shes gonna keep talking about her bein a woman, get used to it its 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 thats 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 OMalley threw their hands up and declared the game is rigged. Tada! They dont even have to say Hillarys name, shes 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. Shes digging herself quite a deep hole, with Sanders and OMalley happily watching.
OMalley stuck a knife in too, calling for the 1933 Glass Steagall Act to be reinstated now, which one of Hillarys ivory tower neoliberal economists recently said is not part of Hillarys 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 doesnt 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 Her husband repealed it.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 doesnt.
Hillary has always been this utterly inauthentic. She doesnt 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 thats 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.
Hillarys 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.
Yeah, y'all and Bruce Gender.
Good one, Mikey!!
When der Hildebeast gets sloppy drunk, they can blame it on the tunic. When der Hildebeast falls down drunk and breaks her wrist, they can blame it on the tunic. When der Hildebeast hits her head and forgets her name, they can blame it on the tunic. The tunic can cover up all sins, including those cankles.
Obama has the perfectly creased pant. Hillary has the perfectly bizarre tunic.
So does Bruce...
The thing is what do either of them have to loose at this point in their life?.. they could easily be poster kids for all that is Political Elite Corruption from day one....yet here ‘they’ are running for President again.. When they do croak it will be in the lap of luxury surrounded by like minds.
Furthermore...all the USA is to them is the means to travel and obtain access onto the World Stage of which they are players and operators among others as themselves. This is not their primary turf....nor are we their concern.
“its a race between cruz and walker. they seem to respect each other, and I expect a great race.”
I get the respect part, and I had high hopes for Walker given the really good work he’s done in Wisconsin, but thus far, he doesn’t hold a candle to Cruz. Maybe his style plays well in Wisconsin, but I don’t think he has a ghost of a chance unless he starts showing a whole lot more energy. He’d make a fine president, but I don’t see how he gets the nomination.
I agree.
because thats the only reason Democrats voted for Barack over Hillary in 2008; to make the history of the first black president.Sadly it wasn't only Democrats.
“If Americans want to make Hillary the first woman president, we will do so for reasons other than the history we might make”
Delusional, it is the exact reason she will become President. Jesse Watters proves it every week when he hits the Streets and gets blank stares after asking the most basic questions of the “Deer in the Headlights” populace.
The electoral is on their side. They have a very easy path to 270. The Republicans path is pretty difficult. We will do it but it will take work. We haven’t won an election easily since 1988. 2000 and 2004 were barely wins.
I don't understand...
They all look like "the worst" to me.
Sort of a Jabba the Hutt jamboree
she is woman, hear her backside roar
Oh yeah.
I had forgotten about the famous "buttermilk thighs" classic...
That’s all she has. Allegedly she has girl parts. Democrats need another “first.”
I’m still waiting for Moochelle to announce.
I’m all for 18 year old GIRLS to have to register eith the Selective Service, just like the boys have to do.....let’s start a petition!
I believe that honor belongs to Huma Abedin who dresses her and administers to her other personal needs.................
