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 Her husband repealed it.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.
Hillary is all the woman Caitlen Jenner is and both fight the battle of the bulge in their pants.
OMG, look at that devious face of hillary’s in your #72. It is flat out scary!
When I first saw the pic in Post #12, some months ago, I thought “Who is that?” It took me a while to realize it was HRC. I thought that was absolutely the worst pic (of many bad ones) that I’d ever seen of her until I saw the one in Post #42. THAT IS THE PIC THAT NEEDS TO GO VIRAL ON THE INTERNET FROM NOW UNTIL ELECTION DAY! If you were a....say.... 24 year old young man in Nebraska; would you want “that” to be your next President?
Keep ‘em moving folks.
If you notice her legs peeking out ...this is why she always wears pants. She’s got huge legs all the way up.
