Clinton blasts Biden for saying Dems didn't address middle class during campaign
The Hill ^ | September 6, 2017 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 09/06/2017 6:41:59 AM PDT by C19fan

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in her new book openly questions former Vice President's Joe Biden's assessment that the Democrats did not focus on the middle class during the campaign.

"Joe Biden said the Democratic Party in 2016 'did not talk about what it always stood for -- and that was how to maintain a burgeoning middle class,'" Clinton said in her new book, "What Happened," which was obtained by CNN.

Add him to the list, along with Bernie, per yesterday’s excerpt.

A good comment over at Zero Hedge: “Now that her mental illness is on full display for so many to see, the magnitude of the bullet dodged becomes larger and larger in scale.”

Too bad the friends in Hillary’s bubble can’t just say “You lost because nobody likes you”.

I’m sure Hillary’s book will have prominent displays at places such as Barnes and Noble.

Then you wonder, will those displays just sit there; how many people will decide to buy the book?

Some of these snippets we’re hearing make it sound like popcorn time.

She’s throwing Biden under the bus. She’s throwing Bernie Sanders under the bus. She’s bitching about how Trump got in her space at a debate.

Don’t these nuggets just whet your appetite to run out and buy her book????

On the contrary, I think she knows she’s done and doesn’t give a s#it about anything now but “correcting the record” (e.g. lying) before she dies. Evidently she realizes Chelsea is too dumb to follow in her footsteps.

cOULD HER CATCHPHRASE, “We’re going to take things away from you for the Clinton, er, common good,” possibly have anything to do with it?

Hillary Clinton--being a Wellesley and Yale graduate--clearly lives the life and has the views of a coastal elite. No wonder why most of her voter base in 2016 were in very blue areas. That's why she highly resents her loss to Donald Trump, who by all measures should have enjoyed similar views to her but he embraced the views of Middle America to victory.

She is planning to run for something.

Not likely at all. Every time we see a media report on something she has said or written, we simply get more evidence that this lunatic was unfit for any position of responsibility.

What it always stood for? Slavery? Segregation? Unlimited and largely illegal immigration? Identity politics? Unrestricted government subsidized abortion?

Something else to consider was that Hillary Clinton's career path as a presidential candidate was a huge impediment for her.

1. In 2008 she ran as a "working-class white" candidate, winning primaries and caucuses in Republican and swing states. She alienated a hell of a lot of far-left voters and minorities in the process. This is a big reason why she faced a serious primary challenge from Bernie Sanders in 2016.

2. In 2016 she had to reinvent herself in order to get those minority voters back on her side. So her former white working-class base became "a basket of deplorables," and her 2016 campaign was a pathetic charade of a 70 year-old white woman trying to be young, hip and black. All she was missing was the "F#%& The Police!" T-shirt, the gold teeth, and the dreadlocks.

The vindictiveness of Hillary is one full display.

This just confirms that 62 + million of us voted for the right man to be our president. The insane suicidal other choice is shown below!

It must be hard to be perfect and be criticized by lesser minds who just can’t understand you.

Obamacare totally hoses the middle class and upper level working class if they don’t get their insurance through work. The middle class get no subsidies. Upper level working class just below 400% FPL get modest subsidies but can’t afford the deductibles. I think people that fall into this category would have a strong incentive to vote for canidates that promised to do something about it.

I really wish they’d quit trying to help us. We’re losing ground super fast because of it.

The best thing to help the middle class would be to repeal Obamacare.
