There Goes the Firewall: Hillary Clinton’s Response to BLM May Have Cost Her The Election

“I’m not a superpredator!” Ashley Williams, a young Black Lives Matter protester told Democratic presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton—her confidence belied by a slight quiver in her voice.

Even when heckled by the mostly white crowd at a $500-per-plate campaign fundraiser dinner in conservative South Carolina, Williams held her ground. She faced down an evasive Clinton, demanding an explanation for racist remarks the former First Lady made in 1996, where she referred to inner-city, black youth as “super-predators” with “no conscience” and “no empathy.” “We need to bring them to heel” she explained.

Getting on a debate stage ONCE against Trump will end her political career forever.

simple capitulate and pander

As long as it beats Hillary!

Although I have mixed feelings about that, given that Bernie may be a stronger general election candidate than her.

Thanks for long Hillary anti-superpredator quote, with context. Interesting...

So you are saying that the people are so happy with the way things have been going in America they are willing to vote in four more years of the same? Is that what you are saying, because if it is, you have not been paying attention.

People may or may not like Trump, but one thing he is not, and that is a Obama clone. And when there are only two choices, I don’t think people really want another four years of what we have had the past 8 years.

What I’m saying is that Trump doesn’t speak well. He has so much baggage and Negative numbers he won’t be able to beat Hillary or Bernie. Trump actually does worse with Bernie. The Democrats are going to chew Trump up.. He will be a evil villain when they get done with him.. The Trump Tower with the Polish workers and the Resort in Florid where he hired all the illegal workers over American workers. The democrats will kill him on this...

Ironic, isn't it? That, vile as BLM is, it may have served a grand historic purpose if it contributes to the ultimate defeat of Hillary's presidential ambitions.

Well said!

I just now thought about the fact that all the blacks in S Carolina - will call and talk on their phones! And this will create a whirl-wind of -word of mouth! This is cool because as the months go by, I'll bet at least 60% (or more of all the blacks in the remaining states to vote) will have heard about this black woman who got in Hillary's face! And they'll have also heard about how Hillary blew the woman off -then after the black woman was escorted out -Hillary immediately started back with her bs -as if the woman was -never even there! Like the article said - Hillary did not know she was on camera. All of this is choice!

Don’t bet the house payment on that one.

Republican position: Crap sandwich on rye.

Trump position: No more crap sandwiches.
