The case against Hillary Clinton
The New York Daily News ^ | 11-4-16 | Lisa Schiffren

Posted on 11/04/2016 6:04:12 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

By now, Hillary Clinton is as polished as politicians come. At 69, her hair is perfectly coiffed and colored, her makeup is subtle and her clothes are expensive. A trained debater, educated at Wellesley and Yale Law School, with decades of public life, she speaks well.

In an election that she has framed around temperamental fitness for the presidency, her deliberate comments and careful parsing of words suggest that she possesses the steadiness and judgment required. That is the image we saw when she stood on a debate stage with the far less controlled, more hot-tempered Donald Trump.

Clinton’s public persona is a façade, though a well designed one, held up by her staff, masters of television illusion and a collaborating national media. With the release of WikiLeaks emails, it has become clear that her senior staff questions that image among themselves.

To understand what she is likely to do with the enormous, now largely unchecked power of the American presidency requires seeing the reality behind that façade. Judging by her actions over the past 35 years in Washington and Arkansas, in roles from governor’s wife to First Lady, senator to secretary of state, it is clear that Hillary’s deep character flaws and temperamental shortcomings, while better hidden than Donald Trump’s very visible ones, present a much greater danger to our democracy.

Clinton’s character-revealing behavior includes incessant lying to the public; vast personal greed leading to corruption in high office; abuse of power on behalf of herself and against private citizens and political rivals; disregard for the law, and the very idea of the Rule of Law; disdain for the “deplorable” half of her opponent’s supporters, and the confession, made during a private Goldman Sachs speech revealed by WikiLeaks, that she typically offers one position on policy and politics...

Not really...

“The Daily News last month published an indictment of the character and temperament of Donald Trump that stands as the longest editorial in the 97-year history of the newspaper. When drafting that, we invited a prominent critic of Hillary Clinton to take her best shot at writing an equivalent indictment of the Democratic nominee.”

Good read, but no mention of the trail of body bags behind the Clintons.

Worth looking at:

Her main characteristic that encompasses all the others is that Hillary is a traitor to the United States of America.

I can’t get over:

SHE HAD THE QUESTIONS at debates;

SHE HAD FAVORABLE LIGHTING/LENSES from TV for the debates;

SHE HAD EARPIECES at debates;

SHE HAD TELEPROMPTER at debates. etc etcetcetc

And the “smartest woman in the world” still lost. She’s hopeless.

Ya, what’s with praising her hair? I think her hair looks terrible. She looks like she is wearing a helmet most of the time.

To quote another movie, "Hillary is a Pimp." Soros is the power and the mind.
