The Path Ahead For Hillary Clinton
IBD ^ | 7/26/2016 | George Will

Posted on 11/09/2016 11:50:36 AM PST by detective

En route to fight one of his many duels, French politician Georges Clemenceau bought a one-way train ticket. Was he pessimistic? "Not at all. I always use my opponent's return ticket for the trip back." Some Hillary Clinton advisors, although not that serene, think her victory is probable and can be assured.

Her challenge is analogous to Ronald Reagan's in 1980, when voters were even more intensely dissatisfied than they now are. There were hostages in Iran and stagflation's "misery index" (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) was 21.98. By August 1979, 84% of Americans said the country was on the wrong track. A substantial majority did not want to re-elect Jimmy Carter, but a majority might do so unless convinced that Reagan would be a safe choice. Reagan's campaign responded by buying time for several half-hour televised speeches and other ads stressing his humdrum competence.

You can bet Hillary’s team has the paper shredders going full blast this afternoon.

Probably the grave, within six months.


I actually concur. One of the biggest problems I had with Hillary was that if she won we were really probably electing Kaine.

Hillary may not last the year

She has lost

She is in default with the globalist mafia
who own her lock, stock, and barrel

And they will not be pleased.

Kramer was right. George Will isn’t too bright.

I will do everything I can to influence my Congressman and Senator to pressure Trump to make sure she is investigated and prosecuted.
Her associates, including Bill, Chelsea, Huma, Lynch, Comey, Band, Podesta, etal., must all go down. RICO is the tool to hit them with.

On twitter, it’s “delete your account” ... I won’t tell Will to “delete himself”, but maybe he should retire. Quickly. I’m sure the Clintons could recommend an island destination, maybe two.

Her path should end in a federal corrections facility for female offenders.

This is from last July. Like the other #Nevertrumpers, George Will has lost all influence. Time to retire.

A haiku:

Hill’s path is to jail
Or, if there was real justice
The end of a rope

This column was written back in July. It’s interesting to read it now in the context of the election results.

Makes her pretty expendable.
And not much to offer on the dinner party circuit, either.
At least she has yoga to fall back on for serenity...wait, what?

Hillary will admit her beaver-chomping, carpet-munching, clam-digging illness in a few months also.

Hillary Clinton is a narcissist, as confirmed by her post-election speech.

Word is that she and slick have already drained the clinton crime foundation's coffers and transferred the money overseas. I was a little surprised she didn't deliver he concession speech via satellite link from "Broomstick One" while enroute to a non-extradition arab country (Bubba could get him multiple child brides)

Interesting that you picked a nursing home that has been rated as one of the worst.
