Hillary takes the reins of Democratic Party after Obama defeat
washington examiner ^ | June 13, 2015 | W. James Antle III

Hillary Clinton's Saturday campaign reboot isn't just her first public rally. Coming a day after President Obama suffered an embarrassing legislative defeat, it is a changing of the guard for the Democratic Party.

Make no mistake: while House Republicans also voted overwhelmingly against the president on a key trade bill Friday, it was his fellow Democrats who handed him the most stinging rebuke. Just 40 Democrats out of 188 voted with Obama. Nearly 80 percent of House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, went against him.

A mere two of the 10 Democrats representing Obama's home state of Illinois in the House actually voted with him Friday. The Congressional Black Caucus declined to bail him out.

Democrats didn't trust Obama's assurance that the trade assistance they were voting on would be sufficient to help workers displaced from their jobs by the agreement.

[snip]

Liberal Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., told Politico that Obama "tried to guilt people and impugn their integrity." The tactics the president has deployed in negotiating with Republicans weren't any more effective with Democrats, who were mostly unmoved by Obama's last-minute request for support.

[snip]

Who knows whether Hillary will ultimately do any better with her party's left flank, having defied them on Iraq and her being first lady while her husband was defying them on everything from NAFTA to welfare reform, the latter a signature legislative accomplishment 85 percent of House Democrats voted against at the time.

Nancy may have something to say about taking the reins too after rebuffing Obama.

What this criminal-creature, hillary, does is take everyones’ money. Her incompetence and criminality overshadow her (except for the useful idiots in the “crowd”.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

And that sucking sound is the vacuum of deep space drawing all the oxygen out of the room that has Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, delivering an address.

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

(Oh, no, she DIN’T!)

Hillary’s only chance is the RNC doing what I expect them to do and nominate the Jebster.

So the hag is now the leader of the Democrat party?
Hillary where do you stand on the Trade Bill? If anyone heard her lay out the new leaders position today,let us all know.
By the way when the Great Hildabeast was Secretary of State she was with Obama on this trade Bill.
Now the great LEADER does not want to tAlk about it

“Hillary takes the reins of Democratic Party after Obama defeat”

How can she take the reins when she’s already on the other end of them? Never have seen a government mule lead itself.

No mention of Bernie Sanders. How did he vote on the trade deals? Why isn’t he taking the reins from Obama?

If link fails, go to YouTube and search Hillary Clinton Exposed.

I urge you to do so quickly. She had it banned in theaters and, now that she's running, it's just a matter of time before they lean on YouTube to chuck in down the Memory Hole!

It’s much more like she grabbed the pull chain on the antique toilet!

Nice graphic. The only good flying monkey is a dead flying monkey that flies no more. :)

Thanks.

Those flying monkeys scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Now the thought of Hillary as president does.
