WAPO HOUSE CONSERVATIVE: HILLARY IS THE GROWN-UP AMERICA NEEDS [Jennifer Rubin]
Powerline ^ | July 13, 2016 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 07/13/2016 11:19:21 AM PDT by C19fan

Jennifer Rubin is the author of “Right Turn,” a conservative space in the Washington Post. Some on the right question whether Rubin is a conservative, but I don’t I believe I ever have.

I was surprised, therefore, by Rubin’s latest offering. It’s a called (in the print edition) “The need for grown-ups.”

The “grown-ups” to whom Rubin refers are Theresa May, who will be Britain’s next prime minister, and Hillary Clinton. Her thesis is that the two women have the steady hands needed to pick up the wreckage wrought by Brexit and Donald Trump, respectively.

Hillary grown up in the 1970s. She’s about due for retirement. Make it so Trump.

Our local rag has her on the editorial page about 3 times per week. Every column praises democrats and rips the republicans. She is not a conservative, she is a liberal.

Justice Ginsberg will become the WaPo “house conservative” when Rubin retires.

I think one reason the MSM is dying is because they all have an agenda and anything that doesn't square with that is avoided. Two examples.

1. Why hasn't anyone in the media stood up and asked: "Mr. President, you are the first President in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually every document from your and Michelle's past. Why is that?"

2. Biased coverage:

Breitbart article above identifies Rubin as the other female David Brooks.

Interesting how many of the comments at the Rubin WaPo article vilify her as an unfair Obama hater. Tells you much about the WaPo readership.

The beauty of any liberal argument is to start by asserting a lie is fact and then arguing about their choice of subject.
Only the GOPe still accepts this as proper discourse.

First, Hillary is a criminal who belongs in prison. When we clear that up there is no need to argue the rest of the libtard pablum.

the wreckage wrought by Brexit and Donald Trump, respectively. .................................... Uh? Trump damaged what? He wasn’t involved in Government, how could he damage that which was already damaged? Its truly a sickness with these accusers.

Steady hands? Has she reviewed the record? The Bengahzi report? The Comey report? the situation in Libya? Syria? Europe? This is not a steady hand...the woman is incompetent and unhinged.

Our local Liberal rag just raised its daily newsstand price to $2.00. That will hasten its demise, as absolutely nobody is going to pay that. Faltering retail and Craigslist appear to have dried-up most of their ad revenue.

Rubin was born in the New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia, and moved with her family as a child to California in “1968”.

She attended college and law school at the University of California, “Berkeley”, finishing first in her class in law.................................... A Conservative? Really?? Riiiiight.

My thought precisely! H. Clinton is a criminal and belongs NO WHERE NEAR the Presidency. How anyone can excuse her actions/intent/gross negligence, how anyone can give her a pass is beyond all reason and understanding. Her so called “qualifications” are nothing but a sham and shameful!

The Dems are going to try and buy this one with freebies.
Look for “free college” and loan forgiveness to be sold hot and heavy. They’re going to propose taxing Wall Street and using the money to substantially raise Social Security benefits. Gonna propose some other giveaways. Will make it close, no matter who their nominee is.

Too funny. Being a career criminal enhances her ability to be a grown up.

Rubin should NEVER be gifted with the title of Conservative. She is a UNIPARTY Shill.
