Hillary Clinton should step off the stage to let Democrats move on
The Hill ^ | March 28, 2018 | BY LLOYD GREEN

On Sunday night, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) shared one of the worst kept secrets of the Democrats: Hillary Clinton is a drag on the party. In a television interview, the embattled senator unloaded on the former first lady for dissing Donald Trump’s base and dumping on America’s hinterlands. As McCaskill said, “For those of us that are in states that Trump won, we would really appreciate if she would be more careful and show respect to every American voter and not just the ones who voted for her.” Ouch.

McCaskill is guilty of nothing but telling the truth. So long as Clinton continues to publicly nurse her grievances over the 2016 election, the Democratic Party’s task of recapturing the House and Senate is made that much more difficult. It is one thing to finesse a message that can appeal to high-end suburban moms without offending white working-class voters. It is a whole other thing to do so under the shroud of Clinton’s audible shadow.

From looks of things, duking it out with Trump is better left to Joe Biden. For the Democrats, a vanishing Clinton allows them to break with the turbulence that marked the Clinton years, their aftermath, and Trump’s win. The question is whether Clinton will give the Democrats the breathing room they need. If past is prelude, don’t bet on it.

I haven’t seen much of the old battle axe lately — maybe since stumbling down stairs in India. Maybe she’s in Gitmo?

I was told that only antibiotics treatment for up to three months can destroy this fungus. Others swear by home remedies.
