Hillary Clinton is quietly reaching out to Republicans
CNN ^ | Oct. 23, 2016 | John King

Posted on 10/23/2016 2:53:51 PM PDT by Innovative

Hillary Clinton insists she takes nothing for granted and will campaign to the end as if she were the underdog.

But there are increasing signs of her confidence, including devoting more time in her speeches to trying to help Democratic candidates for Senate and other offices.

CNN's Jeff Zeleny shares his reporting on her quiet, private outreach to Senate Republicans as Clinton allows herself to look ahead at the prospect of trying to govern.

"I'm told she's been talking to Republican senators, old allies and new, saying that she is willing to work with them and govern. On the campaign trail she clings very closely to President Obama. She needs him to win the election," Zeleny says. "But she also is signaling she will be a different kind of president. She will work with (Republicans). She wants to have an open-door policy."

Its so quiet it’s almost like she isn’t reaching out at all. Grasshopper: If a unicorn farts in the woods can any hear it?

This is psy-ops bovine excrement. She is encouraging her voters to get Repubs to vote for her because she needs them to get over the finish line.

We know how Clinton “reaches out”. Many GOP office holders are dependent on discretionary spending of the President, or of appointed commissions. For example, GOP office holders took FREE HAVA money to hire Democrats to develop the new election software in Red and Purple states.

So now GOP office holders want to make sure their cut of the pie remains if Clinton wins. Political Corruption usually involves more than just one person. That is why it is RICO. And that is why it is the bipartisan cartel.

at this point any republican t politician that meets with Hillary should make it a rule that all meetings are recorded and any correspondence is turned over to a central clearing house. I would suggest this to any democrat also.

My God!! how is this ‘woman’ being allowed to run for President... This is so unbelievable .. how can those poll numbers be anywhere near right.. there are that many morons? Absolute have their priorities in the wrong place...

Is Trump saying he’s going to lose? Is this what is going on this weekend? He offers this country a way to be strong again and that many choose the criminal?

This sets a precedent that will go on for years... that there are people who cannot be prosecuted.. and the rest of us can be... how can educated adult voters be okay with that? And the SC... she would change our country for decades to come...

There has to be a majority that still has some sense... they haven’t all died off yet.. I can’t even have the tv on... I can’t stand to hear any of this... Trump has offered the country all we need to turn all this around.. and the media is talking like hillary is the winner?

CNN give me a break. This witch has no desire to ever see republicans.

If it would add $100 million to her personal account, Hillary will sell anyone out.

It has become clearly evident during this election cycle that we do not have a two party system...They claim to be two parties, but behind closed doors, they congregate and laugh at the American people...

It is now showing up....

I hope we, the American people, have seen enough and stop this...

Our government has become the equivalent of the old Soviet Politburo...

"But she also is signaling she will be a different kind of president. She will work with (Republicans)"

Translation for any Republican listening to Hillary, like Kelly Ayotte, or Paul Ryan:

"Right now, in order to weaken your efforts against me, I am going to say I will work with you, and maybe even hire you as a consultant to my foundation. But privately, I have already decided to ignore you, and do whatever I can to ruin you."

See? See how reasonable she is? And how bipartisan?"

See how she wants to put the long, harsh campaign behind us, for the good of us all?

Don't you undecided voters want to support her?

Hopefully,
CNNDNC.

I would say she is doing it through troll surrogates on this forum who keep posting doom and gloom crap.

The title should be, "Hillary's Gives Republicans A Reach Around"

How Hillary has equipped herself to defile them from the rear at the same time is speculation left to the readers imagination.

Go for it, Hillary.  I'm sure there are one or two octagenarians in every city who would get a rise from seeing Madonna's fresh face at local rallies.
