Why can’t the Clintons just go away?
New York Post ^ | 4/22/2017 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 04/22/2017 11:32:55 AM PDT by simpson96

Since losing the most winnable presidential election in modern American history, Hillary Clinton has, among other things: given a series of high-profile speeches, joined Gov. Cuomo at his public unveiling of tuition-free college, refused to rule out a run for mayor of New York and issued an online video message exhorting fellow Democrats to fight on in her name.

“The challenges we face,” she said, “as a country and a party, are real.”

Clearly, Hillary still sees herself as the leader of the Democratic Party. And why shouldn’t she? Democrats have been locked in an abusive relationship with the Clintons for decades, enabling, explaining, convincing themselves that next time will be different. Party faithful hew to Hillary’s excuses for losing to Donald Trump: It’s James Comey’s fault, plus the Russians, white supremacists, misogynists, the deplorables and immobilized millennials, among other things.

Her losses in 2008 and 2016 have been framed as things that happened to Hillary —not one, but two Black Swan events that stymied her historic destiny.

How is it that Democrats have fealty here, let alone sympathy? How is it that Hillary routinely walks into standing ovations at Broadway theaters? Where is the realization that Hillary is to blame or the rational rejection of a two-time loser?

Any debate about what happened last November ends with Tuesday’s publication of “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.” Journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes spent the past two years talking to Hillary’s most trusted advisers, and what emerges is damning.

Every mistake made in her 2008 run was compounded in 2016: the paranoia, the staff infighting, the underestimation of the intra-party wild card, the self-righteousness, the failure to connect with average voters, the belief that because it was her turn the presidency would be hers. It’s “Groundhog Day” with global consequences.

“When JFK Jr was alive I would have loved to see him take the New York senate and then the Presidency”

And JFK, Jr.’s name is one of those on “The Clinton Body Count”, believe. There were/are suspicions that the Clintons might have had something to do with making that “accident” happen. He was a threat to HRC’s political future, and they knew it.

Chelsea will not “fade” and here’s why (from Vanity Fair article):

....... and yet the picture that kept emerging from the growing pile of Chelsea quotations was that of a person accustomed to courtiers nodding their heads raptly.

Chelsea, people were quietly starting to observe, had a tendency to talk a lot, and at length, not least about Chelsea. But you couldn’t interrupt, not even if you’re on TV at NBC, where she was earning $600,000 a year at the time. “When you are with Chelsea, you really need to allow her to finish,” Jay Kernis, one of Clinton’s segment producers at NBC, told Vogue. “She’s not used to being interrupted that way.”

Sounds perfect for a dating profile: I speak at length, and you really need to let me finish. I’m not used to interruptions.

What comes across with Chelsea, for lack of a gentler word, is self-regard of an unusual intensity. And the effect is stronger on paper. Unkind as it is to say, reading anything by Chelsea Clinton—tweets, interviews, books—is best compared to taking in spoonfuls of plain oatmeal that, periodically, conceal a toenail clipping.

LOL.....

Legend has it that to kill a vampire, you need to drive a stake through its heart.

And to kill a werewolf, you kill it by shooting it but the gun must contain a silver bullet to do the job.

So then, the Clintons resemble both vampires and werewolves.......

Let me correct what I said ... Chelsea will not "fade" of her own volition - she's pretty stuck on herself, feels entitled & acts like royalty because of the way she was raised. She's very like her mother who felt entitled to be president twice ... so Chelsea feels like she's entitled just because she's Chelsea Clinton. Don't interrupt her - what she has to say is more important than what anyone else has to say. The big BUT is that people are getting tired of her - she's got many of her mother's worst traits & if Bill the Rapist is her father, she got none of his ability to charm the pants off of anyone.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of our political system.

It is risky for liberals to write such things about the Clintons, who have the goods on all key players in the donkey party. If the donks stop buying into their self-serving rationalizations, the Clintons might become very angry. They might even pull down the pillars of the Big Donkey Barn. And that would be awful.

Then again, letting the Clintons run the circus hasn't worked out all that well either. What to do? What to do?

Why can't mosquitoes just go away?

Asking the question is not going to do it. You have to make them go away.
