Hillary Clinton has run a stunningly boring campaign. Is this really our first female president?
The Telegraph ^ | Oct. 24, 2016 | David Millward

Posted on 10/24/2016 7:58:47 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

On July 4 last year, Mrs Clinton was in Gotham, New Hampshire, to press the flesh months ahead of the primary – which she went on to lose badly. Things turned a tad messy as a gaggle of protesters emerged to harangue her about Benghazi. So out came the rope, behind which the press were corralled as she made her serene and carefully controlled progress through the town.

~snip~

Even since getting the nod, Mrs. Clinton has at times displayed an annoying smugness rather than the passion one would hope to see from a candidate. It is a struggle to remember anything Mrs Clinton has said over the past 16 months apart from the odd slogan such as “deal me in”, when she was accused of “playing the woman card”.

~snip~

But there has been no soaring rhetoric for Mrs Clinton, no memorable speeches. Quite bluntly she has been one of the weakest people on her campaign team. The star has probably been Michelle Obama, followed by her husband. Bill has put in a pretty decent shift as well. As I discovered in Nashua, voters still have a lot of affection for him.

Yet the election of America’s first woman president should have felt as historic as when the country elected its first black head of state eight years ago. Instead it will be an anticlimax, and that is rather sad.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest real adorer crowds she attracts are those asshole reporters on her campaign plane.

Right; wrong party. But still, the Telegraph has been nicknamed the “Torygraph” throughout the ages, even though they are now allowing editorials by people from Al-Jazeera.

That is actually the first FAKE black president and it appears that we may be talking about the possibility of the first fake woman president. To call Hillary a woman is an insult to decent women.

“So if Trump just does as well as Romney, then he wins.”

Ahh but they have already begun to push the meme that Trump will win a popular vote landslide but lose the electoral college. That is what Soros was quoted as saying in one article I read yesterday. At the same time they also say that Trump has no chance whatsoever but how can he win a popular vote LANDSLIDE and have no chance in the electoral college. Talk about muddying the water!

It takes an uncommon inspiration to cause it to happen. “Ordinary” people would call it madness.

Boring campaign? This author needs to understand that her duration of office has the potential to be the end of western civilization. Is that exciting enough?

“Will “we” scrape the bottom of the barrel for the first woman president as we did for the first black president?”

Let’s see, the Republican party could have nominated Sarah Palin instead of Mittens, and it has had a bench of excellent black men such as JC Watts, Ben Carson, Alan Keys and Herman Cain that it has steadfastly ignored, so the “we” can be laid at a lot of different feet.

C. S. Lewis voiced similar sentiments in his “The Screwtape Letters.” The worst evil is carried out in the most numbingly boring fashion.

Sarah Palin herself didn’t want it, and the GOP wasn’t ready for the filthing that its loyal black partisans got.

Maybe she didn’t *want* it, but she would have done her duty if asked. Or at least I’d like to think.

The Republican party did a disgustingly poor job of supporting both her and our black members. My point is that we *HAVE* and have had a bench of competent patriotic and willing black men. Hopefully come what may of Trump’s candidacy, we kill off the leadership (figuratively) and separate the conservatives from the RINO’s

David must have a limey mouse in his pocketses.
What has it got in its pocketses, Precious?

I see they’re still selling the `Bandwagon effect’.
But Americans still aren’t buying, Island Boy.

This is a piece attempting to paint her as boring and not doing anything. Nothing to see here, move along.

Considering all the stuff leaking as to what this campaign is doing, it is hardly boring. Try criminally illegal.

Not FAKE; but half WHITE.

That’s because she’s a narcissist. They’re all a bore because they focus on themselves.
