Hillary Clinton just doesn’t get it: She’s already running a losing campaign
Salon ^ | April 12, 2015 | By Bill Curry

Posted on 04/12/2015 4:22:31 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Hillary Clinton joins the race for president today. If you believe the leaks from her staff, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t, she’ll do it in a video released at noon as she herself flies high above the nation in a chartered plane. She and her top advisors, all smart people, must think it’s a good idea. It doesn’t feel like one. SNIP

Barring a Jeremiah Wright-level crisis, a presidential candidate gets just two or three chances to make her case to a big audience. Her announcement is often her best shot. That Hillary passed on hers is unsettling. If she thinks she doesn’t have to make her case real soon she’s wrong. If she thinks she can get by on the sort of mush Democratic consultants push on clients she’s finished. On Thursday the Q poll released three surveys. In two states, she now trails Rand Paul. In all three a plurality or majority said she is ‘not honest or trustworthy.’ You can bet the leak about her $2.5 billion campaign will push those negatives up a notch.

Clinton seems as disconnected from the public mood now as she did in 2008. I think it’s a crisis. If she doesn’t right the ship it will be a disaster. In politics it’s always later than you think. Advisors who told her voters would forget the email scandals probably say this too will pass. If so, she should fire them.

Clinton needs a real challenge and a real debate, not just a sparring partner; not some palooka to dance her around the ring for a couple of rounds, but a real fighter. She needs the debate. We all do. But who will bring it?

“What would I like? I would like to have her throw Obama under the Bus and show how she will be a better president-—tell all his ugly sins. “

Imagine that two whores have married into polite society. Now one of them is trying to replace the other in a tight race for (pick an office.) What would happen if the new candidate told the press the present office holder was a former whore?

Obama and Hillary will do a lot of touching and smiling at each other even if they hate one another.

“I have a feeling that someome else running Democrat could beat her.”

Lindsay Graham, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush come to mind.

The Flying Buttress wings it across America’s skies with an @zz so huge she carries euros in one pocket and pesos in the other!

Can’t wait for Shrillary in debate with Ted Cruz. She won’t show up, she’ll just text it in.

bush could beat her as a Democrat in the Democrat primaries,I think, but as the “Republican” he could not beat her in the election.

Her advisors know that the more the people see Hillary, the less they like her. So they are going to run a peek-a-boo campaign, and keep Hillary as hidden as possible.

N-i-c-e wrap ...... plus she won't take positions on anything.....

B/c the Clinton Foundation's big buck donors---all salivating for payback---will be dictating her policies behind closed doors.

“Barring a Jeremiah Wright-level crisis, . . .”

1. Never let a crisis go to waste.

2. This didn’t seem to slow Ø down any.

All part of the money laundering operation.

She got some big bucks from having Qadaffi killed. She has to explain where that money came from.

“It’s from campaign donations and speech fees.”

The Libyans hit us at Benghazi to blackmail Hillary and Obama. They used that “missing” $6,000,000,000 from the State Department to pay our enemies blackmail.

Yep. That’s right.

Those peace-loving Democrats overthrew the Libyan government and had Qadaffi killed so they could steal his fortune. Then, they got caught and four Americans were killed at Benghazi. And they paid the ransom with money that you and I paid into the State Department.

Why do you think she cackled about Qadaffi getting killed? She was making money.

Personally, I think know Ted Cruz could mop the floor with her in any debate, but really, any of the young upstarts could do it. All they have to do is bring up the last 8 years plus all the scandals involving Ms. Clinton personally. The younger generation of candidates knows that being a gentleman, like the last 2 Republican nominees, will not win. They have to go for the jugular.

But whoever the Republican nominee will be, he has to realize that the Democrats are experts in voter fraud, plus there will be that hardcore group of idiot voters who would vote for Hillary no matter what. I know a few who weren't pleased with Obama, but they will vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. It's going to be a tough campaign, so our side cannot afford to roll over and play dead.

Bush isn’t running to win the election. He is running for the Nomination, no more.
