Hillary Is What Happened (Long Article)

RUSH: Mrs. Clinton. You know, the book, the title, the cover of her book? You don’t need to know any more. The top: “What Happened.” The bottom half: “Hillary Rodham Clinton.” That’s what happened! She tried, she got kicked out, and she still can’t get over it, and funny things are happening on her book signing tour.

RUSH: I keep trying to ignore Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton bores me. But it doesn’t matter because she still continues to make news; it sucks me back in, and my professional requirements necessitate me mentioning her. Some of this is actually kind of funny, and it’s also proof of a couple claims that I have been making about Mrs. Clinton for many, many moons.

No, I have not forgotten. I’m gonna go back to this Politico story, because this is key, and I’m gonna get some of these sound bites from the Wellstone Memorial because they dovetail great… (interruption) Oh, we found out $44 million. Now, let’s put this in perspective. These Hollywood leftists and their telethon last night aired el freebo on four networks. Okay, four networks and however long the thing was raised $44 million. Ah! Ah! Ah! There were pledges for $44 million. Many of those might have come from leftists who will not pay in the end.

However, we’ll go with the number because that’s what they report: $44 million. A single white — ahem, I have to point this out — football player with a tweet and a website raised $31 million. That would be J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans, whose original goal was $200,000. And it just kept growing, and it just kept growing, and J.J. Watt didn’t have a telethon and J.J. Watt was not out there politicizing anything. J.J. Watt was on site helping pass out some of the donated materials. He was actually there meeting people, putting boxes of goods into their cars, and actually hugging them, not appearing from afar and asking other people to do what he wanted done.

One guy with one tweet and a website, $31 million. A bunch of Hollywood celebrities, however long the telethon went… It was at least an hour. (interruption) Did you watch it? (interruption) It was one…? (interruption) You watched it? I’m sitting here with people that watched the thing last…? (interruption) Oh, you had to air it on your network? So you were a…? (interruption) It was work? You were a prisoner? (interruption) You were a broadcast prisoner to this thing? (interruption) So it was one hour. Wait a minute.

You have a radio? It was radio, too? (snorts) Oh, I didn’t know that. Radio plus television. Four networks plus whatever the radio networks were. It’s not chump change, don’t misunderstand. But with that much publicity and that much firepower, a bunch of credited liberal… (thump) I’m sorry. There goes that… (thump) I’m sorry. That’s gotta be irritating you like crazy. If I can hear it, I know it is.

Anyway, it’s great to have you. The telephone number is 800-282-2882. Mrs. Clinton, in her book — and again I just want to say: Have you seen the book? Look at the cover. On the top half: “What Happened.” On the bottom half: “Hillary Rodham Clinton.” What is it? What Went Wrong? “What Happened”? You don’t even need to read the book. The cover explains it: Hillary Rodham Clinton: What Happened. She happened! You don’t need to read it. That’s why there are people like me, who will tiptoe through this thing and find humorous anecdotes, like this.

I’ve always mentioned, Hillary Clinton, one of the problems she has is she does not connect with people. And it’s not something you can practice doing. It’s your personality. Trump connects with people. And what I mean by this, when Trump does a rally, the people in that arena, wherever it is, have a personal connection. They believe Donald Trump is them. They believe Trump is speaking just to them. They don’t think that Trump is condescending. They don’t think Trump believes he’s better than anybody else.

It’s akin to the Q factor with movie stars and television personalities. There’s a Q factor, and it basically measures things that we call connection. And you either have it or you don’t. It’s like if you can’t throw a 95-mile-an-hour fastball, nobody can teach you to do it. If you’re not likable, nobody can coach you to likability, in the political realm or the celebrity realm. Either you are or you aren’t. A lot of factors: believability, trust, genuineness. There’s a whole lot of things. Of course, your physical appearance, but that’s not as…

In terms of connection, physical appearance is not nearly as necessary as other characteristics or personality traits. Mrs. Clinton, throwing the physical out, does not have the ingredients necessary to connect with people. And it’s because it’s obvious that she doesn’t want to. And she admits this, knowingly or unknowingly, in her book. For example, she “recounts a moment when a mother dragged her daughter by the arm to apologize to the former secretary of state for not voting.”

So Hillary was doing a personal appearance somewhere, and a woman brought her daughter to apologize to Hillary for not voting. Now, that mother is a kook oddball anyway, but it happened. You throw Hillary into this mix and you have all the ingredients necessary for mass therapy. So a woman, upset that Hillary lost, when she found out her daughter didn’t vote for her, grabbed her daughter and dragged her to a Hillary appearance — and then when they get up to the line, this mother tells Hillary that her daughter didn’t vote for her and demands that she apologize to Hillary.

Hillary “notes that the girl had her head ‘bowed in contrition.’ But instead of feeling sorry for the girl being humiliated before her, Clinton says she wanted to pile on. ‘I wanted to stare right in [that little girl’s] eyes and say, “You didn’t vote? How could you not vote?! [sic] You abdicated your responsibility as a citizen at the worst possible time! And now you want me to make you feel better?”‘ she said.” She actually writes that, and then she writes, “Of course I didn’t say any of that.”

Hillary, the fact that you admit that that was your reaction… If I’m in the same circumstance… I would never run for office so it wouldn’t be that. But if one of you thought that your kids had done something that was not favorable and you knew I was gonna be somewhere and you dragged your kid to an appearance to meet me to apologize, there is no way that I would see anybody in that circumstance with contempt. It would never occur to me to pile on and start ragging on that person that supposedly had done something that was not helpful to me.

I would say, “Don’t worry about it. Come on.” I would, if anything, chide the parent in a very soft, unobtrusive way. But the fact that Clinton admits that this is the reaction she had is exactly what I’m talking about. This is a feeling of entitlement. I’ll guarantee you that Hillary Clinton, in her heart of hearts, thinks having to run for election is beneath her. You may think, “Rush, no, she can’t.” I’m telling you, folks, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but her attitude is that she shouldn’t have to stoop to such mundane things.

She is so qualified, so entitled, so deserving that she should just be made president by acclimation. Why didn’t she campaign in all these states? Only part of it was the fact that she ran the risk of falling flat on her face every day because of the seizures she was having. The other part of it is, she didn’t think she had to. She thought those people in those states were automatically gonna vote for her because she was Hillary Clinton. Well, Donald Trump, no way does Trump ever take anything like that for granted, and no other politician worth their salt does, either — and then there’s another story.

“Hillary Clinton’s Book Signing Was as Insufferable as You’d Expect.” This is in the New York Post. Now, again, evidence here that she just doesn’t connect with people. She has no bond. There’s no personal investment. The people that are bonded or connected to Hillary are feminists who want her to win because of some deep meaning in there being a female president. But Hillary personally, there isn’t any connection. You can’t get close enough to her. She doesn’t want you to know anything. You can’t have that kind of bond — and in politics, that’s a recipe for disaster and failure.

She is, I mean, replete with these kinds of failures on the biggest stages politics has to offer. She’s incapable of comfortable communication with a crowd of supporters! In a crowd of supporters, she still feels stiff and wooden and like she would rather not be there. Have you ever seen tape of Hillary delivering one of those 20-minute speeches at Goldman Sachs for which she was paid 250 grand? I saw one, and I’m thinking, “How do the people that write the check not demand the money back?”

I mean, it was boring, it was sophistic, it was banal. I mean, it was nothing. There’s no way Hillary met any of the expectation. Of course, just showing up and speaking for 20 minutes was the pro forma thing. The real thing was to give her the money. It was an investment in her presidency for policy favors later on. She had to show up and say something in order to make it look legit. So Hillary had a book signing.

Her arrival time was 11 a.m., and we talked about yesterday. Big line, hundreds. (chuckling) Hundreds of people. The line was so big, there were a couple people standing outside the store to get in. That’s how big it was. (summarized) There were a lot of more waiting, 80-degree heat. Everybody there had to have their bag checked ’cause, you know, Hillary’s a formerly very important person, so security threats are taken very seriously. People were not allowed to have food or water in their bags. But it says here that “most of the people in line retained their excitement.

“If they couldn’t have Hillary as president, getting to see her sign their book was the next best thing.” Thirty minutes went by. Still she didn’t show. It’s an 11 o’clock book signing. Then 40 minutes went by and she didn’t show. And it wasn’t as though you could read her book while you were waiting because you wouldn’t get your copy until you approached the dais where Hillary would then generically sign it. She was not even looking at people. They just walk by, she’d sign up the book, look up and smile in a very plastic way, and the line kept moving.

You were not allowed to speak to her. Finally, before noon (she’s almost an hour late) she shows up, and the crowd starts shouting, “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!” And she absorbs the adulation and she gives that royal wave that she’s patented. She thinks she’s Princess Di. She didn’t say a word. She didn’t apologize for being late. She didn’t thank anybody for coming. She didn’t say a word to them — and these are the people who had braved the elements, whatever they were. Heat, humidity.

They were not allowed food and water in their bag, so big security check. You might say Hillary devotees. I mean, the people that you would be the most appreciative of. They’re there to buy your book, for crying out loud. They’re gonna spend whatever you’re charging them to buy your book, hopefully get a generic signature. Not even a word of thanks. Not an apology, not an explanation for why she was late, not an appreciation that people waited.

There was no change in her behavior. You weren’t allowed to stop and talk with her. They just ushered you through. It was like an assembly line. She signed the books generically. There was one funny thing that happened. A woman — female journalist, young journalist — got in, and started asking Hillary about Benghazi, started asking Hillary about her 33,000 emails.

What happened to your 30,000 emails? “Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” She cackled and laughed and security ushered the woman off, who then ran into Huma. “Hey, Huma, why in the world did you stay married to a guy who was sending pictures of his (pfft!) to teenagers?” Security came in, ran her off. I hope that happens at every one. I hope somebody pounds her with these questions at every one of these events that she does.

RUSH: Yeah, Hillary Clinton was on The View today, and I’m looking to see if we have the sound bite. I’m not asking for the sound bite. I was just looking to see if we had it. Late-arriving story. It happened this morning. This is another… This is a glowing example to me, just human interest, humanitarian thinking. What do we know about the 2016 Democrat presidential primary? We know… We know! It is not arguable. We know that it was rigged. We know because of the hack, whoever did it, of the DNC computer network.

We know that Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz worked to ensure that Bernie Sanders would not win the nomination, not just with the superdelegates, but the whole thing was rigged by Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz working with Hillary. This is undisputed. It’s not talked about because, of course, the narrative is that the Russians cheated in the election to elect Trump, and that’s out there. The real election fraud that we know was on the Democrat side in the primaries. So Hillary is on The View today, and she is complaining about Bernie Sanders.

She’s telling the babes on The View that she resents how Bernie didn’t do enough to help her against Donald Trump. Bernie didn’t campaign hard enough. She’s sitting on her sizable Arkansas broadbeam butt and not going to Wisconsin and not going to Pennsylvania, and when she does venture out she almost falls flat on her face getting into a van. She’s having physical problems of some kind, so she’s taking it easy. She’s not engaging in retail politics at all.

She’s on TV today blaming Bernie Sanders for not helping her, and then she said she was “surprised by the increasingly personal attacks” on her from Bernie Sanders, and then she brought up what she did for Obama in 2008. She wanted to tell everybody, “I was the way you should be. I lost, but I was the bigger person, and I went out and I worked really hard for Barack Obama.” Yeah, well, you know why? Obama agreed to pay off her campaign debt, or part of it, and that’s one of the reasons why she had to take the secretary of state job.

Obama didn’t want her outside the tent. Nobody trusts the Clintons even in the Democrat Party. So he wanted her inside the tent and in a job she wasn’t qualified for. Secretary of state? Hillary Clinton? What are the qualifications? Obama wanted to run that show. She’s the figurehead. As part of the administration, she can’t run around and rag on him. So it was strategic. She’s out there telling them, “I worked very hard for Barack Obama, even after losing. I put the party first. As soon as I lost, I turned around; I endorsed him. I worked hard for him.

“I was arguing with my supporters at the Denver convention in 2008 about why they had to quit complaining that I didn’t win and go out and support Obama.” In her book, Hillary says that Bernie Sanders’ attacks on her during the primary “did the lasting damage.” This is just one of the 16 to 18 different things and people that she is, to this day, blaming and writing it down. What does she expect Bernie Sanders to do after she rigged his defeat, after she rigged the primary? He was wasting his time; he was wasting the money that people had donated.

His supporters had no idea. They really thought he had a chance of winning. And if you paid attention to the media, it did appear he was winning every primary for a while. He’d win every primary and Hillary’d get a majority of delegates, and Crazy Bernie’s supporters said, “This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t add up,” and the party would say, “Well, it’s the rules they both agreed to. It’s all gonna come down to the superdelegates,” and they got ticked off, and they’re still ticked off.

So here’s Hillary Clinton — and believe me, you think this is contradictory, but not the way she looks at the world. She rigs the game so that he can’t possibly win and then gets mad at him for not helping her, not doing enough work for her. You probably know people like Hillary Clinton. Whatever they do, they botch — and whatever they botch, they find somebody else to blame.

The amazing thing to me is that she’s writing all of this down, that it’s gonna be out there forever. I mean, I’ve never seen a politician engage in such childish, spoiled-rotten behavior as Hillary Clinton is engaging in here. She must be carrying around an amount of resentment that we have not contemplated before, and she has this need to get it all out there, and she’s doing it; it’s gonna be around forever now.

RUSH: Didn’t Spielberg direct Jurassic Park? You would think that the guy who directed Jurassic Park would have been able to do something with Hillary Clinton. If you make dinosaurs come to life and even make them kind of lovable and likable. I mean, admit it. Didn’t you kind of like the Velociraptors in the lab, and didn’t you kind of want one for a pet? Should have been able to do something with Hillary to make her more likable or more exciting.

And you know, Bernie Sanders — people have forgotten this — he ended up campaigning for Hillary. Do you remember what his requirement was? A private jet. He’s that kind of socialist. He demanded a private jet paid for by other people, and he said he would go out and campaign for her. It was too little, too late, and it wouldn’t have mattered, because outside of New York and California, Hillary Clinton just doesn’t light them up.

Let’s get back to the phones. Jim in Knoxville, Tennessee. Great to have you, sir. How are you doing?

CALLER: I had the great pleasure of watching Hillary on the Today Show this morning, and during the show Matt and Savannah asked her, “Hillary, if you can pin down the one thing that really did you the most damage, what would it be?” And she blamed Director Comey on the eve of election coming out the way he did. I thought that was kind of interesting, Rush, because had she not deleted emails off her server, had a private government server illegally in her house, she never would have had Comey in her life. Yet she’s blaming Comey for a problem that she created that cost her the election.

RUSH: James Comey kept her out of jail! James Comey made sure that there were no criminal charges against her! James Comey took over the Department of Justice when Loretta Lynch blew it by getting on the tarmac on the plane with Bill Clinton. I know she’s conveniently blaming Comey for doing his press conference on July 5th, and that’s its own story, whether Comey was right or wrong in doing that. And it’s convenient to blame Comey for this, but of course Jim here is exactly right. If Hillary Clinton hadn’t done any of that, then there would have been nothing for Comey to talk about or for Comey to overlook.

Now, we have some audio sound bites from Hillary Clinton on the Today Show today. Well, no, not 18, that’s with Ezra Klein on Fox. Maybe it works. Let me look at it real quick. Okay, let’s start with number 18. This is Ezra Klein on the Vox website. Vox is a Millennial version of the Washington Post. They do journalism different. They subdivide the stories They give you the first paragraph or two of the story, then they say, why does this matter? Then another paragraph explaining to you, ’cause you’re an idiot, why it matters. And then after that they do another subdivision, what does it mean? And then they tell you what it could possibly mean.

It’s the news beyond the news. It’s explanatory journalism, they say. And Ezra Klein is formerly of the Washington Post. He’s a wunderkind. I mean, he’s considered “the future” of modern American journalism. So, anyway, Hillary appears on their website. And Ezra Klein said, “Why didn’t you do better with white women?” This blew their mind. Remember the Billy Bush tape. Trump wasn’t supposed to survive that.

You know, I have to tell you, there’s something about that Billy Bush tape — not the tape. The reaction to it. All of these liberal men, if you can call them that, if I’ve read this once, I’ve read it I don’t know how many times. And do not worry, moms, I’m not going to utter the word that Trump did. But these liberal men acting like what Trump said was one of the greatest offenses, one of the most egregious, outrageous things anyone could ever say, these guys are out doing it or trying to every night. And they’re acting like it’s like foreign behavior, that a guy would — it’s mind-boggling to me.

No, I’m not defending it, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not defending any behavior. We’re talking about what somebody said here. And these liberal men, these guys would not survive in an athletic locker room. I mean, they’d be offended first and foremost by what they saw, and then when they started hearing what’s said in a professional locker room, if they’re bothered by what Trump said to Billy Bush, they’d be shuddering in fear and looking for the door to get out. Just a side observation.

So here’s Ezra. And remember, after the Billy Bush — that’s the Inside Hollywood, the tape where Trump was overheard talking about what he likes to do and can do because he’s a big time celebrity and can get away with anything, it was thought — see, this is another thing. The arrogance of the left, it was assumed that every woman in America would be repulsed, that every woman in America would be outraged. “How dare, how dare he think of me as being one of those and that’s it. How dare.” That’s what they thought every woman thought and that Trump wouldn’t get a single meaningful female vote. And he went on to win white women! And they don’t understand it. They still don’t understand it.

Remember the story we had two days ago, Glamour magazine, admittedly a women’s magazine, there is a story about a bunch of anti-Trump women who end up hooking up with Trump men, men who voted for Trump, and they say the sex has never been better. They’re conflicted as they can be. They’re confused. They like it. They like it, but it doesn’t make any sense to them. I don’t know what they think they’re doing when they go have… with Trump-voting men, but whatever it is that they’re expecting, they end up liking it and they’re terribly conflicted. There’s a whole story about it. Glamour magazine. A bunch of us Trump supporting men were very happy about that story.

Anyway, they can’t figure out why white women, any women, voted for Trump. And Ezra Klein, “Why didn’t you do better with white women, Hillary, why?”

“then she writes, “Of course I didn’t say any of that.””

...which she says anyway by way of actually writing it up in detail and publishing it for the world to read & mock.
Does she _not_ think the woman in question won’t recognize the scenario (assuming it actually happened), and be mortified that Hillary Herself publicly humiliated her over (even if anonymously)?

“Does she _not_ think the woman in question won’t recognize the scenario (assuming it actually happened), and be mortified that Hillary Herself publicly humiliated her over (even if anonymously)?”
The thought crossed my mind too...unlikely that it did happen and just the liar mind using this made up story to lecture people on the importance of voting “because she lost!” (I love to type those words)
Hilliary Clinton is a lying hag and can't be trusted. She lies, even when telling the truth would be better for her.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it: “Hitlery lost because she is a venomous harridan, and she chose and equally unlikable person to be her Veep.”

That assertion demands an explanation, so here goes:

Here are Merriam Webster’s definitions: venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger” and harridan = “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”

A bit redundant, perhaps, but certainly appropriate in ANY description of Hitlery’s character and conduct.

“Venomous harridan,” now that I give it more thought, applies to most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat woman we poor suffering Real Americans have doing unto us before we can do unto them!

Now, some time ago, I finally realized that Tim Kaine, among other male Democrats in public life (Ophonybama, EVERY male member of his administration, DNC members, etc., etc.) were ALSO harridans, and I went looking for a term that would apply to a male “harridan.”

One of my buddies over at FReeRepublic.com suggested “asshole,” which on first glance just may be too strong a term to use, and certainly not in polite company. HST, here is Merriam Webster’s definition of”asshole:” “a bad, stupid, or annoying person.”

WELL! A male venomous harridan = “venomous asshole!”

LOL! I love it! And, the academy (in the form of the Merriam Webster dictionary) got it right!

IMHO, then, most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat man is a venomous asshole!

So, in the appropriate places and at the appropriate time, I intentionally throw these female and male slurs at LIEberals.

I am having a lot of fun with this!
