Hillary Clinton's High Profile Is Hurting the Democrats
The Atlantic ^ | May 1, 2018 | by MICHELLE COTTLE

Posted on 05/01/2018 8:27:03 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Hillary Clinton was back in the news last week thanks to a Sunday speech at the PEN America World Voices Festival, which sounded custom-designed to give Donald Trump a nosebleed.

All told, her PEN performance was cool, crisp, and destined to make news -which it did. Which left me wondering: Isn’t there someone who can convince this accomplished, inspiring, barrier-breaking superwoman to stop whining about 2016?

Someone? Anyone?

Yes, what happened to Clinton was awful. She did not merely lose the presidency, she lost it to an opponent singularly unqualified to hold the office.

But when it comes to the national political landscape, she has not yet reached the point where she can sound off in a way that doesn’t reek of self-pity and bitterness and rationalization. Until that changes, she should recognize the yuge favor she is doing the GOP - and, by extension, Donald Trump.

With that in mind, she really does need to stop. Just. Stop.

1) She’s not going away (until the Grim Reaper finally comes for her, which I suspect won’t be all that long).

2) She still had oodles of cash from the Crime Foundation to buy influence and favors.

The Dems have their hands full.

As much as the Dems want to get her out of the spotlight she will run again in 2020, and who in that party has the guts to stop her? It’s gonna be a Hillary vs an Obama acolyte like Kamala Harris or Cory Booker for the Democrat presidential nomination, and it will get very heated to say the least!

It still pisses me off when they talk about Trump being unqualified, as opposed to a woman who has been followed by scandals from her first job out of law school to her Sec of State tenure. She has excelled at nothing, except corruption by piling cash in the Clinton Foundation. She did nothing as a senator, caused havoc everywhere she went as Sec of state (unless you consider blatant bribery a success) failed as a wife and mother, yet she’s the accomplished one!

“...singularly unqualified...”????

Apparently these lefty tons don’t understand the constitution

I submit it was Hillary who fit that description since her felonious behavior put us all at risk

> she will run again in 2020 <

If my quick calculations are correct, Hillary in 2020 will be younger than Bernie Sanders was in 2016. So, oh yeah, I think she’ll run again.

And for two reasons. One, her shameless ambition is without limit. And two, it would get bribe money flowing back into the Clinton Foundation.

Dear Michelle,

You are singularly unqualified to make an assessment of Donald Trump’s fitness to hold the office.

How many companies do you run?

You are also singularly unqualified to write articles, if this is your logic trail.

Quite sincerely,

‘Pod

I wouldn't. Better than even odds that she will Assume Room Temperature by then. I suspect her health problems are much more significant than we can imagine.

Hillary Rodham Clinton...the gift (to the Republican Party) that just keeps on giving. The quintessential definition of “Sore Loser.”

*** RUN HILLARY, RUN ***

She is the perfect poster child for what the RAT PARTY really is. And she is a demonstrated LOSER. Keep talking Hillary...

Please, keep talking, Hellary. Every time she opens her mouth a few more demonrats see what a joke she is.

There are two universes. In one Hillary is an "accomplished, inspiring, barrier-breaking superwoman".

In the other she is a so many bad things wrapped into an ugly pant suit that I'd break my keyboard if I tried to list them.
