Why Terry Gross Was a Mistake for Hillary Clinton (it was a devastating interview)
nationaljournal.com ^ | 6/13/2014 | Alex Seitz-Wald

Posted on 06/14/2014 6:22:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

On Wednesday, during a tense exchange lasting more than seven minutes, Gross asked Clinton 10 different ways about the evolution of her stance on gay marriage. But, unlike some recent TV interviews Clinton has given, the takeaway was not Gross's pointed inquiries, but the fact that they seemed to get under Clinton's skin, who snapped back at her interlocutor.

"You know, I really, I have to say, I think you're being very persistent, but you are playing with my words and playing with what is such an important issue," Clinton said after trying to put the issue to rest several times.

Gross, attempting to smooth tension with a chuckle, replied, "I'm just trying to clarify so I can understand ... "

But Clinton fired back, "No, I don't think you are trying to clarify. I think you're trying to say that I used to be opposed, and now I'm in favor, and I did it for political reasons, and that's just flat wrong. So let me just state what I feel like you are implying and repudiate it."

The moment was over soon after that, and the interview moved onto friendlier territory for another 30 minutes, but America Rising, the GOP opposition research group, had already clipped the audio and blasted it out online, eclipsing anything else Clinton had to say.

Clinton. like Obama is only eloquent when she has a prepared speech on the teleprompter. She is Obama 2.0. Make no mistake. She will continue the ‘fundamental change’ if there is anything left to ‘fundamentally change.’

The only thing that I could come up with for a logical reason for the outburst was that Hillary was trying for a Sister Solja moment like Bill did back in the day. Didn’t go so well, did it.

With the scarcity of ashtrays nowadays I often wonder what the Hildabeast favors throwing at her husband.

Beer bottles probably...

Gross even tried to ask some questions in a manner as to provide some cover for Hillary’s responses. The smartest woman in the world missed those cues and became combative and defensive.

Not very smart, Hil...

I never, ever thought I could feel sorry for Bill Clinton.
I still don’t.

Hillary Clinton is a nasty, conniving, ham-handed power broker.

None of this matters to our Hillary voters. Held down by the patriarchy since Biblical times, American women now wield the weapons of power. Chicks are more than fifty percent of all voters, more than fifty percent of college graduates and nearing parity in salaries.

Hillary is their hero. If she actually does something, she is a strong woman. If she is attacked, she is a victim, just as women have been brutalized for so long.

It’s Hillary’s turn.

Like I said about her the first time around, a politician that has both likability and trustworthiness problems with the voters is very unlikely to get elected.

And this time around both seem to have deteriorated even more from the low levels they were at before.

I'm beginning to think she won't get very far this time. Too old and too beatchy.

While she's not the anointed one as was expected by many, I think her chances are going to be determined more by several things out of her control.

What kind of opposition will she meet at the primary level? Right now, no one. Surprisingly, even as a "front runner", among the liberal ass kissing media she's not getting the level of worship she expected.

Will the MSM fall back into line and go back to its usual level of sycophant-thy on her behalf?

Will the GOP actually present any reasoned opposition to all the lies and Marxist crap she spews? Will they shut up and hope for the best as with McCain and Romney?

The HildaBeast is very beatable, but not by the GOP we've seen in the last two Presidential campaigns.

IMO, if the GOP wasn't so stupid, inept and corrupt, we would not have had a (D) in the WH at all since Reagan.

Hitlery regards herself almost as much as dumBO does himself.

She’s probably not running. The ‘secret’ is to keep the high priced speech offers coming...

“She is also Gay!”

No, she has been married and is married to Francis Davis (a man).
