Full title: CLINTON: I heard the first ponchos for Trump's inauguration 'could have looked something like KKK hoods'

Hillary Clinton said in her new memoir, "What Happened," that the first batch of rain ponchos issued during President Donald Trump's inauguration looked like Ku Klux Klan hoods.

Every time she opens her mouth it makes me extremely happy that I’m not a liberal and don’t live in their world. Can you imagine seeing what they see all around you on a daily basis? Not sure if they were nuts to begin with or they’ve been made nuts by it but....it’s for darn sure they’re nuts.

“We dodged TWO bullets in this century.”

Unfortunately the third “bullet,” Barack Obola was a direct hit for eight years. I am heartened though that the next “bullet” to be dodged will be Bernie II, that is if he lives long enough to run again.

Yes, but the problem is that this kind of stuff only fires up her base and can never expand the appeal of their party to the middle. That’s not going to be enough for them to actually win national elections. It probably won’t even be enough to save them in the midterm elections because Dem turnout is inevitably dismal in those no matter how hard they try to fire up the base.

Well cut her some slack, even the best ghost writers are hard pressed coming up with excuses for HER.

John McCain and Mitt Romney were two other bullets dodged.
They were wearing R jerseys.

I was at the inauguration...nothing buy proud, loving, smart Americans attending. The only negativity and hypocrisy came from Chuck Schumer’s speech.

If she didn't like the KKK poncho she could have chosen an Urban Sombrero.

I would agree with you that McCain is every bit as mentally unhinged as Hillary or ManBearPig.

Though he really did not come close to winning.

I'm guessing they looked less like Klan hoods than, say, Robert Byrd's actual Klan hood.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

I don’t think Hillary was trying to fire up the base with her comments. Instead, IMO, it was just another attempt to demonize Trump, and demonize his supporters.

To what end? Maybe Hillary herself doesn’t know (or care). But one thing’s for sure. When you demonize Trump’s “deplorable” supporters, you make it much easier to justify violence against them.

Lucky for Hillary the biased brain-dead press is in the tank for Democrats... ‘cause you’re right they would barbecue a Republican for a whiff of what Hillary gets away with...

He'd much rather use it on the Energizer Bunny. I hear their safe word is "whitewater".

#16: " most people who read her book will instantly buy into that KKK-hood nonsense."

Hillary Clinton has ginned up more free publicity and interest in the the Ku Klux Klan than they've had in the last 50 years.

Trump should tweet “Hillary came to my wedding. Surely she wouldn’t come to a klansman’s wedding. Unless it was Robert Byrd’s.”

Coulda fooled me!

Thousands of people lined up outside the Barnes & Noble at Union Square in hopes of meeting their idol. Some slept outside the night before. Clare Hogenauer, an older, disabled upper West Sider, told me she rented a downtown motel room nearby. “I didn’t want to take a chance,” she said.

New Yorkers, not Americans. A passle of deluded women who have degenerated into American enemies.

(bevy is correct but I prefer passle )
