Maybe Hillary Should Have Studied Jiu-Jitsu instead of Yoga

Among Hillary’s most preposterous, unsustainable lies about her emails was that she deleted only personal emails referencing wedding plans and yoga classes. If there were a grain of truth to the notion of Hillary practicing yoga I’d argue she’d have been better advised to study jiu-jitsu, because her opponent, Donald Trump is a master of that art, turning her attacks on him against her.

The prevailing fairytale spread by her camp is that he is the rough naïf in the thickets of oh-so-difficult to comprehend diplomacy while she is experienced on the world stage. Neither she nor her spokespersons when asked for examples could do more than point to the many miles she traveled as Secretary of State, a claim Carly Fiorina had fun with earlier in the race. She famously said, “"Like Mrs. Clinton I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles but flying and traveling is an activity, it's not an accomplishment and unfortunately she didn't accomplish anything as Secretary of State."

This week, Trump proved Carly right and showed that he was vastly more clever than she in the art of diplomacy. Mexican President Nieto invited both candidates to a meeting in Mexico to discuss issues between the two countries. Hillary turned down the invitation, Trump, with a far busier schedule -- a rally in Washington State followed by one in California and another in Arizona, quickly took him up on the offer.

The naysayers prematurely wrote this off as a disastrous move on his part. Instead it was a resounding success.

As Roger L. Simon observed:

Ping!

[a fool in paradise]

Hillary hates the Jius.

[chajin]

I’ve always flipped for people who know jiu-jitsu...

Interesting analogy; I think Trump’s method is more like aikido, but I won’t quibble

[Rebelbase]

Hillary’s waddling ass hasn’t once ever touched a yoga mat.

[jazusamo]

Amen to that!

Following the speech, the switchboard for taking donations was jammed with over $5 million received from appreciative Americans whose legitimate concerns have for too long been treated as racist or inhumane by the kind of people who summer in Martha’s Vineyard, nibble canapés and swill champagne in the Hamptons, whose kids go to tony private schools and who live in gated communities.

A nice finish, especially in light of the New York Times article yesterday gushing about Hillary's parties with the Ultra-rich.

In the last two weeks of August, Mrs. Clinton raked in roughly $50 million at 22 fund-raising events, averaging around $150,000 an hour, according to a New York Times tally.

How nice. It was $143 million in August alone. For $2700 a kid (under 16) got to ask Her Heinous a single question. For a cool $10,000 you could get a family photo with her in it.

The bottom line is that Trump is campaigning for office and Hillary is campaigning for money. Even if her staff and the media manage to drag her over the finish line, that's all this was ever about.

My opinion - Trump is being Trump. He is not looking to counter Hillary.

He is making a bold and honest bid for the White House.

Hillary is on the defensive 24/7. The woefully unstable narrative is he’s reacting.

The bottom line is that Trump is campaigning for office and Hillary is campaigning for money.

Well said, that's exactly what's happening.

[jazusamo]

Yep, Trump’s heart is in it for the country while Mrs. Bill Clinton can’t answer an honest question because an honest answer would incriminate her.

Bump!

Hillary goes to yoga class just to watch.

[Arm_Bears]

Has anyone ever asked Hillary! to demonstrate some of the yoga movements and positions she allegedly studied?

[aces]

why she needs to be a contortionist just to lie how she does and keep that plastic cackle face on

Jiu-jitsu is a combination of karate and judo employing strikes with the hands and elbows and combining holds and take downs(’’throws’’) of judo. Judo in it’s pure employs almost entirely holds and take downs. In Japanese ‘’judo’’ translates roughly as ‘’gentleness practiced’’. Karate translates as ‘’empty hand’’.

[chajin]

Kurosawa's first movie was Sanshiro Sugata, shot in 1943, about a man who wants to learn jiu-jitsu but ends up learning judo instead. I watched it a long time ago, and couldn't figure out what the argument was :-) I probably need to watch it again. I do remember that it reminded me a little of Stanley Kubrick's second movie Killer's Kiss, not in plot of course but in seeing a movie by someone who you know is going to become a great director.

[goldstategop]

That’s why she’s going to lose.

She expects a coronation. And Americans are saying thanks but no thanks.

Hillary looks on the Little People as beneath her. They will have the last word.

[upchuck]

Thanks for the ping jaz.

Clarice Feldman ping.

If you'd like to be on or off the Clarice Feldman ping list, drop me a FReepmail.

“Hillary looks on the Little People as beneath her.”

Hillary imagining herself to be superior is like a tick imagining that it is greater than an Elephant simply because it rides on the Elephant’s back.
