The liberal establishment’s Clinton obsession is blowing up in its face
New York Post ^ | September 17, 2016 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 09/18/2016 6:30:34 PM PDT by Mean Daddy

Hey, Democrats, where were you? Hey liberals, where were you? The potential train wreck that is the Hillary Clinton candidacy didn’t just become evident last week when ill-chosen words about 25 million “deplorables” and a public near-collapse tanked her polls to make this a tied presidential race.

No, Democrats and liberals, the possibility of Hillary crashing and burning was there from the outset of her candidacy. And yet you stood there and let it happen.

You Democrats and liberals who did not “feel the Bern” but desperately wanted a Democratic president to succeed Barack Obama — you did nothing to prevent the potential cataclysm that is upon you now. Instead, you’ve spent more than a year chortling at Republican failings, expressing disgust at the rise of Donald Trump and convincing yourselves that your ideological tendency is on the cusp of multigenerational rule in the United States.

Shame on her for burning that Ramones album. Those guys are/were good. Too bad they most all checked out early, musta been something in the water.

I’m a little bit older than that thing and feel pretty good and can still form an English thought without an earpiece prompt. What scares me a little bit is how fast it can all come apart.

You are fine. I’m shy of 60 but my morals are intact. I bet you could say the same. You’re all good. I hear what you are saying, though. It’s scary. Lost my dad and MIL to brain maladies. Blech!

Nah, they were going to testify against Hillary.

“Didn’t find it in a search.”

Don’t care. Post away.

Most of us can’t spend every waking moment on the forum. Thousands of Freepers miss great articles because the posting police get duplicate threads scrubbed off the site.

“Really, I think she’s dying.”

I think anyone who observes her objectively, can see that she is. I’m sure that millions of Democrats are quietly horrified at her appearance, and the numerous signs of her disastrously failing health.

You can practically see the Grim Reaper drawing near to her. The woman is one spasm away from a total physical collapse that she may not even survive.

If she and the Dems weren’t so hell bent on retaining the White House, they’d send her home and concede the race. As it is, they’re going to kill her, pushing her like this.

It’s a hell of a spot the Dems have put themselves in, isn’t it? Can you imagine the furtive meetings, coded texts and phone calls taking place in the higher power structure of the party? They have got to be frantic. And truly, short of her having a total collapse/meltdown - they’re stuck.

It’s a horrible spectacle.

Hillary, herself knows this is it. It is all about her ambition. She will power thru or die.

“Can you imagine the furtive meetings, coded texts and phone calls taking place in the higher power structure of the party? They have got to be frantic.”

Every day is a living nightmare for these people right now, and there’s nothing they can do to escape it. Not a single one of them has the guts to come right out in public and say what all of them are thinking.

And so they suffer in silence, just waiting for Hillary to collapse on camera, or lose in an historic landslide. It’s going to be one or the other, and they all know it.

More and more, it looks like she’s going to “power through” and die.

“She may have a toomah”

Who knows what all’s wrong with her. What’s plain as day, is that she’s got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel.

The Liberal Institutions of America could care less if she dies 5 minutes past the inauguration.

<><>Hey, Democrats, where were you? Hey liberals, where were you?<><>

Has anyone else noticed lately it seems like fewer liberals are trolling most of the comments sections on news sites, just popping in to call someone racist or bigot and such?

Quite different from a year ago when I couldn’t read the comments under almost any news article without seeing tons of liberals posting drivel ad nauseum. Now I see very little of it, they seem to have retreated into their safe spaces I guess, where nobody can rub their noses in the truth...once in a while someone will get brave enough or drunk enough to make a comment, get drubbed pretty quick and crawl back under a rock just as quick...

Hey liberals, where are you? Truth starting to sink in?

What’s so funny is that the media made such a big deal about Trump calling it a bomb; then later the same media reports it was a bomb. They don’the realize that they’re the ones that look stupid.
