Hillary needs a loyalty oath because the number of people enabling her isn’t as large as she wants.

She’s a talentless fourth rate hack pretending to be a politician.

Let's face it: the Left LOVES Bill Clinton. Hillary, lots of mixed feelings.

No— she knows what a lying a-hole BJ is— because he pulled the same shiite on her, before they ever got married— in the “fidelity” department.

A more sobering examination is that this “couple” is the classic soviet/marxist team of provocateurs (like the Rosenbergs as atomic bomb spies, with the “sad looking” little woman playing the feel sorry for me role- all the while up to her a@@ in spying, along with her brother and sister-in-law, as it turns out).

That is to say, the BOTH play the game, and now... with the millenials, who can smell out disingenuous and mendacity, because they were raised by the same kind of people, letting the world know what jive-a@@ they really are- and that is WHO they are.

Their popularity didn’t go over well in their native Arkansas which finally fell to the GOP last November.

This is a candidate that cannot be shown or heard on television. The press reports what she supposedly says and does based on what her campaign tells them to report.

This will get old even for the communist media. There are other communists they can help elect.

From Bob Barr, a month ago:

The fact is, charisma cannot be faked; it cannot be turned on and off at will. You have it or you don’t. Hillary doesn’t have it. If anything, she has negative charisma.

Where Bill was “cool,” Hillary is cold.

Where Bill was smooth, Hillary is hard-edged.

Where Bill was approachable, Hillary is stand-offish.

Where Bill welcomed the media, Hillary hates the media.

Where Bill thrived among adoring crowds and candid exchanges, Hillary insists on tightly controlled environments with canned responses.

Where Bill was able to present his candidacy as the New Wave versus the Old School (George H.W. Bush), Hillary comes across as Old School; especially when contrasted with the many new faces offered to voters by the GOP (Jeb excluded).

Where Bill appeared to be anti-Establishment, Hillary embodies the Establishment.

Let’s pretend that it were possible to assign all of Hillary’s “accomplishments” to Chelsea, without any of Hillary’s baggage.

Would that make Chelsea a more appealing candidate than Hillary?

Would that be a successful “reinvention”?

Hillary can ONLY win against the “old, racist, NY banker-bought, white male capitalist Christian” GROPe repubbies.

She can ONLY win if she runs against Christie, Bush, or Graham.

Now THEY ARE cooperating (with her) as they support their self-selected GROPe candidate (Jeb Bush) and his false pace horses (Christie and Graham entirely, 5 others indirectly, 3 others indirectly) as they work to split the opposition votes in each different state. But the GROPe and democrats are terrified of anybody else. Hence the constant attacks by EVERYBODY in Washignton to kill Trump's candidacy.

Bill Clinton is a natural politician. He has the charisma and/or ability to connect with people. He enjoys the give and take of politics, giving speeches, doing debates, doing interviews.

None of that rubbed off on Hillary. She is clearly not any sort of natural politician.

That's a pretty good summary of the situation. As much as we detested Bill for all the other reasons, we have to admit he's a personable guy and has good people skills.

With Hillary, she's basically trying to cash in on her husband's name and she feels she is "owed" for having put up with Bill's infidelities all those years. She's offended by the notion that she should have to lower herself to this "unsavory politicking" and earn her election like everybody else.

Well, too bad.

Once in awhile Cilizza gets one right, and this is it.

From the above Chris Cillizza column in the WaPo:

“All of this is not to say that the Clinton team’s efforts (to re-invent her) are not a savvy political move”.

Savvy? Is he kidding? What choice does she have? She has to try to re-invent herself because her real self is so repugnant and reprehensible. Her problem, of course, is that she is unable to present anything other than the shrill, cynical shrew that she is.

You’d have to be deaf dumb and blind not to know exactly who and what Hillary is by now. It would literally take a miracle to rehabilitate and reinvent that evil POS.

You all severely underestimate the stupidity of Americans. They already voted skin color, next they will want to be the first to vote for lady parts.

Seriously, this mozlum POS got elected twice. You think the avg idiot knows who Ben Ghazi is? Or what a server is? I could go on.

This Republic is on life-support and the sheep will vote for her if she’s the rat nominee.

“Note the use of the term “happenstance”.”

You mean Ft. Marcy Park II? She needs to go “visit Vince.”

She has no chance. The pendulum is clearly swinging to the right this cycle.... Count on it.
