The Agony of Hillary Clinton
Project Syndicate ^ | February 22, 2016 | Elizabeth Drew

Posted on 02/29/2016 12:13:36 PM PST by QT3.14

Being Hillary Clinton, one of the most celebrated women in the world, holder of some of the highest offices in American politics, and possibly the next president of the United States, has had more than its share of agony. Widely regarded a year ago as a shoo-in for the Democratic Party’s nomination, she has faced a far more difficult slog than anyone, including her, ever contemplated.

Yet most of the problems Clinton is encountering were predictable and foreshadowed in 2008, when she ran against Barack Obama. Others she has brought on herself.

Agony?

Listening to her voice is agony.

This is the bottom line on not letting Hillary within 100 feet of the White House, in fact, she should be in prison, and you can bet if it were you or I, we would have been already....

I think Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods & Glenn Doherty could teach Hilly a few things about the real meaning of “agony”.

I renew my FACTUAL PREDICTION:

She will die on the campaign trail.

My emotional response will be one of an objective observer.

So far as FR is concerned.

B/c we do not dance on graves here. And properly so.

I can listen to B. Sanders talk, but to listen to Ms. Hillary is agonizing. I usually switch channels or put her on mute.

Hillary sounds fake, condescending and programmed. And she is boring. She is also incredibly cowardly and weak. Imagine she is scared to appear FOX, a network that likes her better than Trump. She gets softball questions and other networks. How could she possibly stand up to Putin or other world leaders?

I’m not at all sure she’s going to be formidable in debate with whomever faces her, particularly if it’s Trump. Or Cruz or even Mr. Roboto.

She coughs and wheezes. She cackles and shrills. She rolls her eyes, equivocates and, moreover, I believe she will get called on outright lies.

The American people will be watching the debate, as a jury.

In sum, this is why the GOP race is so intense. It’s like Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon and _____________ (insert your own team) in semi-finals scrambling to come out on top so they can play St. Mary’s Home for Lame & Blind Unwed Mothers.

No, I don’t give her much credit. Or any credit. She doesn’t deserve any. She’s a former president’s ex-wife/beard driven by pure ambition and a primeval need to vent her cruelty and sadism.

No we don’t but when she got schlonged by b.o. in ‘08, I giggled like a little girl and I’m all set to do it again when Trump soundly kicks her worthless carcass to the curb.

Agony?

I hope the nasty old thief wakes up screaming at night.

She committed espionage against her fellow citizens for money.

We ALL have to now agonize over our children and grandchildren being killed or maimed because of Hillary Clinton’s greed.

The whole country is in agony because of her.

Some 95% of all the personal woe in this world is in some way self-induced. So stop listening to Herself.

I know the words that pass her lips are probably of the English language, but so many of them, when taken as a whole, make absolutely no sense whatsoever, being completely devoid of any logic or based in any way on reality. It is easy to simply tune Herself out altogether.

People who have had strokes sometimes speak with disjointed thought patterns. Herself is perhaps too badly disabled to adequately discharge the duties of President of the United States, as that job requires some coherence of speech and some degree of critical thinking, neither of which Herself is capable of delivering for more than a few minutes of clarity at a time.

Does ANYBODY else on FR remember Ryan’s debate with Biden?
I suspect his glass of water was spiked with something
that rendered him agonizingly thirsty. I do not know what
sort of substance or chemical could do that; but Ryan was
EXTREMELY thirsty & gulping water, gulping water, gulping
water - while “Slow Joe” grinned and flashed his “pearly
whites” at Ryan every time he took another gulp. - TRUMP
BEWARE!! OR CRUZ! Do not accept so much as a breath mint
from any of these media characters. They are in the tank
for Hillary.

Correction: ALL her problems are of her own making.
Ignominy is the fit punishment for such a one.

If Hillary wasn’t a member of the liberal power structure she would be in a rubber room. The woman is obviously a dramatizing psychotic just barely held in check with pharmacology and some keepers, er I mean assistants. Yes assistants. That what we call them.

One wonders at the mentality of the people who surround her and forward her purposes even thought they see her insanity closeup. They want to be in power so much that they are consciously willing to protect a woman who would be raving in a straitjacket before her first term expired. The country means nothing to them. Hillary’s as twitchy as Hitler was during his last years... who was a strung out meth addict. I wonder what psych drugs they have Hillary addicted to.

Her one talent, her one strength, is a literally inconceivable level of cruelty. And that is what she intends to use to win the election and rule as President. Cruelty is her god. And she demands her followers worship that same god - and they do, to the utter, catastrophic detriment of their souls.

suppose there is a debate between Trump and Hillary

Trump needs to insist on a lectern that is properly sized for an adult.

at Bernie-Hillary debates,
the lecterns were sized for 5 year-olds,
with the intention of making Hillary look normal

You’re out on a limb.

Old leftys with gold level healthcare tend to go a long time.

Castro’s brother just kicked off at 91 the other day.

Soros, Carter, etc....
