Hillary risks being upstaged by rivals at her own convention
New York Post ^ | 07/24/2016 | Michael Goodwin

To compensate for her wishy-washy, flippy-floppy untruthiness, Clinton has loaded her lineup of convention speakers with political sluggers. As such, she seems determined to test the proposition that you can never have too much of a good thing.

But you can, if it means the star of the show gets lost in the crowd and her message looks like a puréed compromise of others’ convictions.

That’s the risk Clinton takes by featuring President Obama and Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Her husband’s star power is diminishing and the others resemble a reunion of rivals rather than a supporting cast.

It’s weird enough to make you feel sorry for poor Hillary. Well, almost.

She earned her predicament. Having failed to establish a rationale for her campaign beyond a sense of entitlement and inevitability, she is acting like a European-style parliamentary candidate hoping to be selected prime minister by her party instead of an American presidential candidate appealing directly to voters.

Her approach represents a big change from her campaign in 2008, when she exhibited more moxie and certainty.

Whether it’s circumstance, health issues, or a combination of factors, she’s now running as a shrunken version of that person, quickly trimming her sails to meet the demands of others.

In truth, there was always a taint to her image as a trailblazer because she owes her political career to her husband and especially to his infidelity. After she saved his butt during the Monica Lewinsky impeachment battle, it was no secret he would repay her by helping her win the Senate seat in New York.

Selling pardons to Puerto Rican terrorists and Hasidic thieves in exchange for votes were just some of the unseemly things they did together.

Sage advice for Tim Kaine: have an armored limousine at the ready and be ready to "get out of Dodge" on extremely short notice.

At the rate things are going, we could be seeing a repeat of 1968 and well--bad things are going to happen.

I think she will be upstaged by Tim Kaine on the campaign trail, much like McCain was by Palin.

Hillary doesn’t have the energy to make many appearances in a single week. She needs lots of rest in between gigs.

Heck, I wouldn’t feel sorry for the woman if she . . . Well, under no circumstances would I feel sorry for her.

She has no shame. No conscience. No heart and no soul.

I don’t Hillary has to make a tremendous number of campaign appearances. She has the MSM and surrogates to make the pitch. She has a lock on the normal blue states and given dem cheating and illegals voting, etc she will just need to focus on a handful of states in question.

I want to see Hitlery thoroughly humiliated and I hope she is too drunk on election night to call president-elect Trump and concede.

"Her approach represents a big change from her campaign in 2008, when she exhibited more moxie and certainty."

The fact that she looked 20 years younger also played a part. Now that she looks like an 80-year old hag, rode hard and put away wet, not to mention perpetually angry, coughing and drunk, it's gonna be hard for her to look like a ball of energy.

Or she calls to concede and is so drunk she’s slurring words and tells Huma to get up off her knees.

Frankly, Hillary doesn’t look healthy.

Trump has already made fun of her once for disappearing for lengthy periods of time. I think Trump will make it an issue for her. Kaine will be her primary surrogate and end up getting too much attention. But, maybe keeping Hillary low profile is the best thing for her!

That would do, too. LOL

Seriously, I want to see her devastated and humiliated. Karma needs to kick her butt badly.

She sure did look THAT much younger!
I was shocked with all the clips in “Clinton Cash” with the younger, more energetic Hillary - makes her look like crap now in comparison. She did not weather her health crisis well.
