Scarborough/Harold Ford Skirmish Over Hillary's Bullying Of Bill's Women
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/11/2016 5:52:57 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Is the Hillary camp sensing mortal political danger over her role as "bully" [to use Maureen Dowd's term] toward Bill's women? The question arises given the agitation, defensiveness and anger displayed by the normally mild-mannered Harold Ford, Jr., a Hillary fan, on today's Morning Joe.

Ford warning Joe Scarborough not to raise his voice to him? Ford defensively rejecting comparisons between Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby? Ford angrily rejecting Scarborough's suggestion that he's taking James Carville talking points in defending Hillary? Something's going on. Scarborough clearly hit a sore spot. Does Ford's defensiveness reflect shakiness across Hillary world?

Is Hillary feeling the heat over bullying of Bill’s women? Judging by Harold Ford’s defensiveness, something is going on.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

In 1992 Hillary said she wasn’t “gonna be some little Tammy Wynnette standing by my (cheatin’) man”. She ‘had’ to attack those “nuts and sluts”.

When Hillary has lost the MSM she’s done. It’s over!

Ask Ford this, “Congressman, isnt it true that your political future, your influence, your power, relies on Hillary winning?

She lost the media in 2008. Just go back to the tapes when they had started to wag their complaints against the Clintons and advocate on behalf of Barack Obama (or even John Edwards).

something is going on.

The media is no longer covering for her. Maybe just on this store for now but there are a lot of stories that the Clinton's have needed media silence. True or not, even the mention on traditional media will kill her chances.
Also, the "I don't have male genitalia" qualification is no longer enough for all feminists. If she loses that argument with feminist she loses a lot of support in the general population.
Her chances of becoming President are going down which means her chances of going to prison are going up. She'll likely try to take a lot of people down with her so there will probably be a lot of fear in DC as she loses media cover and support.

It’s may be done, but not over. Both parties have access to accurate polling data. My gut tells me that Hillary’s numbers are so bad, and Trump’s are so good, that they can see the bodyslam coming.

When both the NYT and MSNBC attack like this, there has to be coordination within the MSM. My guess is that it is designed to get Hillary out of the race in time for the Ds to orchestrate a replacement who will staunch the bleeding. Crazy Uncle Bernie ain’t going to do that, as they well know.

Biden would be my guess. But here’s the thing - if they piss off Bernie by “anointing” anyone else after this fiasco, he may take it 3rd party.

Any way one slice’s it, however, it looks very bad for the Dems. Thank God for that!

It could very well be that the dems are starting to see the writing on the wall. Just a few weeks ago, Trump was trailing by 11 points. Now, Trump has closed the gap between him and Hillary, and at least one poll shows him ahead by 3 points. It’s only January, and there are 10 months of pounding on her to be done. How far down will her numbers go is anyone’s guess.

At the beginning of the show, Scarborough said he’s heard that Kerry and Biden’s handlers are making sounds about their guys getting into the race if Hillary shows weakness in the early primaries. That ticked Mika off, who asked “why not Bernie?”

The View's Joy Behar sums up Hillary's base:

"Republicans have voted against the Violence Against Women Act. Now, that to me, is more important than anything that Bill Clinton did or didn't do because it's what [Hillary's] going to vote for.

This came after co-host Paula Faris reminded, "Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey. They say that he [Clinton] either exposed himself to them, raped them or groped them." Behar conceded, "He is a dog. Let's face it." She later declared, "But I still will vote for Bill Clinton because he votes in my favor."

At, the end, Ford sort of caved, said that Hillary "would have to answer for that...those questions.."

BTW..Mika's body language and facial expressions speak volumes more than anything Joe said..

“Mika’s body language and facial expressions speak volumes more than anything Joe said.”

Do I take it you mean that Mika was looking nervous and uncomfortable with the conversation because it’s hitting home?

Re: “chances of going to prison”.....

Two relevant dates to watch are November 8, 2016 and January 20, 2017.

Assuming Hillary got the Dim nomination, on November 8 she will stand for election nationwide. If she won, she would take office January 20.

But, let’s assume on November 8 that she lost. Well, Barack Obama is still President for approximately 72 more days. He hates the Clintons with a purple passion. Does he pardon the bitch knowing Trump or Cruz WILL NOT!

Obama needs a lot of money to live in Dubai and the Clinton Foundation happens to have a lot of it and can get more!?

Obama has proven himself to be a vengeful man. In my opinion, the morning of January 20 rolls around and with only a few HOURS to sign the pardon he DOES NOT!
