Zito: Hillary's perfectly crafted untruths [Why she REALLY lost]
Washington Examiner ^ | May 7, 2017, 12:05 AM | Salena Zito

ROSEVILLE, Mich. — After 17 years at the same company, Dawn Wilson has just lost her job.

The petite blond stands in the parking lot of Roseville Towne Center, a strip mall with a Walmart, a Dollar Tree, a jewelry pawn shop and what was Hillary Clinton's campaign office, where a bright yellow sidewalk tent now hawks "Free Cell Phones."

A few people wait to sign up for the phones.

"I've worked there for 17 years. I was on vacation when I got a text from my boss on Good Friday to call him. He told me don't come back to work on Monday, you no longer have a job," Wilson explained.

*snip

Of Clinton having a campaign office here — only to skip visiting the struggling working-class manufacturing town and send in Hollywood surrogates Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen, who scolded voters about climate change — she is sardonic:

Your message and your optics are everything when you are trying to persuade people to buy something from you or vote for you. Does this look like somewhere that needs to be schooled on climate change? she asks. "That is why she did not win Michigan. No matter who she chooses to blame, it is time for her to really look inward."

*snip

For the Clinton campaign to send Hollywood liberals here in the closing days of the race to preach about climate change was tone deaf on a Guinness record-level.

Last October, Danson and Steenburgen addressed 35 people in this strip mall, many of them Clinton campaign volunteers and local elected officials.

At the same time, Trump was planning his sixth and seventh trips to manufacturing towns in Michigan, and the local Trump headquarters had lines outside its doors, wanting yard signs, despite the Republican nominee being 6 points down in most polls just days before the election.

Words delivered with honesty, despite being loose with facts, sometimes are more appealing to people than a perfectly crafted message that is dishonest at its core.

That's why Wilson chose Trump over Clinton.

And that's why Trump is president and Clinton is not.

Her list of lies is endless and cost her the White House and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars, you’re so right, she still has no interest in the truth.

Why bother talking about it? That's just a colossal waste of time.

Because Hillary is still blaming everything else: Comey, the FBI, Obama’s lack of support, Trump and his Russia connection; anything but the truth. Her own wrongdoing. That’s why. Some of us don’t want her to get away with her efforts to alter the facts.

That and it’s a lot of fun to laugh at her.

After nearly two years of terror of what Hillary was planning to do if elected, it’s a massive relief to just laugh.

Read the article, couldn’t figure out who Dawn Wilson is.

A member of Hillary’s campaign staff? Or a random Democrat who might be on the verge of seeing the light?

We’ve earned this! What ever venting or laughter we elect to engage in on. Hillary’s dime, we’ve earned the hard way and over decades.

Look, even you tuned in long enough to scold others to tune out. Forget about it, you say? You don’t have to click on a Hillary thread just because it’s there, ya’ know.

Read the article, couldn’t figure out who Dawn Wilson is.

Just a random Trump voter who was negatively affected by Obamanomics and voted against a third term of the same.

From the article:

Of Clinton having a campaign office here — only to skip visiting the struggling working-class manufacturing town and send in Hollywood surrogates Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen, who scolded voters about climate change — [Ms Wilson] is sardonic:

Your message and your optics are everything when you are trying to persuade people to buy something from you or vote for you. Does this look like somewhere that needs to be schooled on climate change? she asks. "That is why she did not win Michigan. No matter who she chooses to blame, it is time for her to really look inward."

The author is sloppy with the quote marks, but you get the idea.

17 years is a pretty good run, with your wagon hitched to the Devil. Most don’t last more than a year, or two.

Hillary's paranoid driven decision to use exclusively her private server for email begot Comey. Absent that decision the FBI would not have been involved. Her decision to proceed with the use of her private server also conclusively proved what an inept decision-maker Hillary is.
