Chelsea Clinton Is Not the Great Democratic Hope
National Review ^ | March 10, 2017 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 03/10/2017 7:55:38 AM PST by detective

The media should stop making the former first daughter out to be more than she is.

Chelsea Clinton is not fascinating. But the repeated insistence that Chelsea Clinton is fascinating . . . is actually rather fascinating. It’s like a giant social experiment, in which everyone who has spent decades building connections to the Clinton political dynasty attempts to make the world see the president’s daughter as someone she isn’t.

Witness the recent insistence that we’re seeing a new side of Chelsea Clinton . . . because she’s tweeting a lot of critical things about President Trump. This is not particularly unusual behavior for a Democrat with a Twitter account. Yet Politico declares that she “lets loose on Twitter” with “a spicy, sarcastic online personality.” CNN concurs that “Chelsea Clinton embraces her Twitter sass.”

"quite a few powerful people in Democratic politics and the media remain heavily invested in the Clinton dynasty"

Lord, please let Chelsea and her rabid mother both run in 2020 as the best the rats can offer.

The party that builds her up as the new upcoming talent, the same parry that lectures the rest of us about being born privileged ....

Chelsea is the only child of a dysfunctional ‘family’. A father who behaved disgracefully while in office; a mother who made excuses and DID NOT show any capacity for becoming a self-reliant, independent woman, but who relied on nefarious behavior for political power.

What type of grades did Chelsea get in school and what were her college courses?. She married into a wealthy family and seems to have accomplished nothing on her own merits.

Have to feel some compassion for her - her life seems to have been a cold and calculating experiment by the Clintons who needed a ‘child’ as a prop in their political ‘family’ farce.

LOL, yes I heard about that. Tim Kaine’s little boy got arrested at a demonstration.

Well, violent tendencies run in the Kaine family. Remember when Tim Kaine said he wanted to punch Donald Trump in the face?????

Hillary needed a running mate who would be rough and tough, to offset her femininity, so that’s why she chose Kaine.......

Sarcasm......

She will be the equivalent of Ronnie Reagan - only she won’t even be demeaning her mother.

I never understand how things work.

Chelsea has had a priviledged life. She went to Stanford. She had some $600K part time job with NBC for a while. She also worked for a hedge fund, if I recall correctly.

She married into a political family, in which her husband also runs a hedge fund for a living.

Liberals tell us that Wall Street hedge fund people are manipulating the market and impoverishing the rest of us. Yet it’s ok for Chelsea Clinton to be a millionaire because of her hedge fund husband; nothing is said about how he has money.

Yep. By the way, it’s too late to invest in her husband’s Hellenic Opportunity Fund. It was shut down after losing 90% of its value.

It is simply a continuation of what they did with Hillary.
