Hillary Clinton Operatives Bracing For “Clinton Collapse”
DC Whispers ^ | July 24, 2015

Posted on 07/26/2015 5:37:18 AM PDT by Zakeet

Earlier, D.C. Whispers reported on federal investigators’ request to initiate a full on CRIMINAL investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal due, at least in part, to Mrs. Clinton’s alleged and purposeful destruction of classified material she kept on a private email server. Apparently this development is but one of several now plaguing a Hillary Clinton campaign that has a candidate who often appears “lost, confused, tired, and angry.”

The term “Clinton Collapse” is apparently an increasingly common one these days for those whose job it is to continue insulating their candidate from media scrutiny and try and push Mrs. Clinton across the eventual finish line that is the Democratic Party nomination – no easy task given Clinton herself appears increasingly unstable, politically speaking.

…This past week saw campaign operatives trying to figure out how to break the news to candidate Clinton regarding her sudden drop in several battleground states that show her losing by wide margins to potential rivals like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker. When that news was finally delivered, Hillary Clinton is said to have initially brushed it off.

Mere hours later she proceeded to lash out her handlers, and then went on to blame what she perceives to be “unfair media coverage.”

[Snip]

A D.C. Whispers source had this to say regarding Mrs. Clinton’s view of the modern media:

“She doesn’t understand how it works. She still thinks the New York Times is the end-all, be-all regarding media coverage and because they (the Clinton Machine) pretty much control how the Times covers them, she feels she controls her own media destiny and when that doesn’t happen, it infuriates her. She gets very angry very quickly and it’s a particularly aggressive kind of nasty on her part.”

Candidate Clinton’s mood swings have become so erratic even those closest to her campaign are said to be hoping for the best while preparing for what some perceive to be the inevitable worst.

“They know this entire campaign could collapse in a matter of days. Hillary Clinton is not her husband. She’s someone who doesn’t enjoy the work of a long political campaign. She doesn’t trust the process. Actually it goes beyond that – she hates the process. Truth be told, she hates people. Bill enjoyed pressing the flesh. Ok, not the best phrase when applied to him, but he was in his element out there in the midst of the unwashed masses. Hillary on the other hand, she gets this look in her eyes that isn’t so much about pressing the flesh, but wanting to burn it.”

The Hillary campaign is setting about trying to match the fundraising pace of Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 outings. They have publicly indicated their desire to raise at least 100 million dollars by the end of 2015. That remarkable figure is not merely about bragging rights though, but rather out of absolute necessity.

“There won’t be nearly as much free and positive press for Hillary Clinton as there was for Barack Obama. They all know that. It’s going to take a lot of money to build and maintain her image over the next several months. She’s not a low maintenance, lipstick and rouge candidate. Hillary Clinton requires major renovations that come up often and that takes serious cash to keep going. Her campaign will be on edge and in crisis mode much more often than is normal. That will be a huge burden on all those around her, and it seems is already causing Hillary to show some premature wear and tear already as well.”

I first said it in April and here it goes: Granny Clinton will be indicted as the ONLY way the Democrats can get out from under her. People here and elsewhere laughed at the prediction but not one thing that has happened since April has made it less likely to happen. Rain man O’Malley will be the Democrat nominee. If The Republicans put up Jeb Rain Man wins big. If Republicans put up Walker they win big. If the nominee is Trump things will have changed so much that he too will win big, but I don't see things changing that much. In 2017 Scott Walker takes the oath.

It’s no collapse. It’s the greatest comeback of any politician in 200 years.

Bank on it.

LOL...I didn't think about that...I can see the NYT's riding that meme for weeks before the elections...

I think Lizzie is the strongest alternate candidate.

Sanders may be raising some enthusiasm, but comes across as a nut. O’Malley is an unknown wannabe, and Biden is not all there, and people know it.

Grandma “Pantsuit” is toast. Obama and Jarrett have seen to that with their latest ‘leak’ about the e-mail investigation. It had to be from the Jarrett/Obama team. No one else has that much authority. No one has as much dislike of her as Obama and his chief adviser. It was them.

[It’s always entertaining to watch pro-abortion staffers and supporters making the inevitable discovery that their pro-abortion candidate is a nasty, violent, angry, dishonest, narcissistic monster.]

For a minute I thought you were talking about The Dictator. Those two silly girls are so similar it’s no wonder they have a hard time getting along.

Hillary is a psychopath.

She’s more than happy to destroy what she can’t have.

Not just the dem party but the entire country is at risk.

Hillary’s got more than enough money to pay the gangs to start race riots in every major city and that’s just for starters.

"The voting machines are computerized. She can make it work."

This should be everyone's concern. Why are the dems confident in Hillary?

Absolutely no one, challenged the fraud that elected Obama for a second term. The Republicans have backed themselves into a corner in which they may not be able to escape. They let total cheating go on unchallenged to the point where no matter how much the dems rig the machines this time the Republicans will not be able to say anything without looking like conspiracy nuts.

Elections only matter if they are honest. I'm very concerned it's not even close anymore.

I think for a good percentage of the Democrat base, Hillary is seen as almost a conservative. Heck, they think Obama is a disappointment because he so far hasn’t quite been able to transform America into a super-sized version of North Korea.

Actually it goes beyond that – she hates the process. Truth be told, she hates people.

That's readily apparent and a pretty big problem.

Hilary is the worst candidate the Dems can come up with. They’d be better off with clueless Joe Biden.

Let’s just hope the collapse happens too late for them to figure it out.

I’m waiting for the collapse. Who is it that the dems really want as a nominee? sanders? warren? some other America-hating radical?

The campaign starts way too soon in this country. 1.5 years before the election is too soon. Waste of time and money.

“She gets aggressive, mean and nasty, real quick”

How long before one of her meltdowns is caught on a cellphone only to go viral. Stick a fork in her.

You think this is bad? Just wait until the Swiss investigation of FIFA bribery digs up information that the Clinton Foundation was being used to funnel bribes to and from FIFA officials. THAT will drive Hillary Clinton crazy because much of that bribery happened when she was part of the Foundation--probably between 2000 and 2010. And the bribes may violate multiple national laws on money laundering and tax evasion.

Hitlery is well known for harsh lashing out while throwing in a the whole bucket of FU’s, Nword, etc.

I think this report is mighty close to dead-on. She can not take the pressure and will explode, throw a shite-fit in public and quit. If she don’t then the first or second debate with Cruz or Trump will ‘blow the gasket’ and America will get to see the real hitlery.

There will be no 2nd Klintoon POTUS.

I’ve been fascinated for years with the psychoanalyzing of the Clintons. They provide modern day counterparts to Hamlet and Oedipus for the mental illnesses of the day. And Hillary herself endorsed it when she started talking about how Bill’s womanizing grew out of his early childhood relationship with his town tramp mother and over protective sourpuss grandmother.

“I have to wonder if they Photoshopped it. Not a good picture”

I believe that photo is from one of Odungas inaugurations. Cold dry weather will bring out the worst in any old Leftist hag.
