Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that being a capitalist probably hurt her cause in 2016 because so many Democrats in the party today are socialists.
Her interviewer at the Shared Values Leadership Summit quipped Clinton might have been the first presidential candidate since World War II who had to stand up and announce she was a capitalist.
"Did it hurt you?" he asked.
"Probably," Clinton said. "It's hard to know, but if you're in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists, or self-described socialists, and I'm asked, Are you a capitalist?' And I say, Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability,' you know, that probably gets lost in the Oh my gosh, she's a capitalist.'"

Yeah, sometime last year.
Where have you been?
I think she’s confusing capitalism with corruptalism.
We dodged a bullet...
Hillary loves to talk policy when it fact the real issue is corruption.
Capitalism is not the same as crony capitalism.
Charity is not the same as foundations set up to extort foreign leaders.
But—she knows that.
She is a dirtbag sociopath who believes the sole purpose of language is to deceive the peons beneath her.
Why is she not in jail yet?
Don’t be fooled by Hitlery saying all these crazy things. She is serving a purpose for Demonrat elections coming up. All of her comments are carefully crafted for different views within the party. They range from the crazy leftist,hate Trump, feminist,racial b.s. and so on. This “ oh gee, I was too much of a capitalist” hogwash is directed to those swing districts that fell for that fake conservative Demonrat campaign back in 2006. A lot of so called blue dog Democrats won back then i.e. Testercle from Montana. Once they get elected it’s “thanks for electing me suckers”. These people lie like a rug, they don’t know any other way.
A “Das Kapitalist” — perfect!
Throw it in the Scooby Van and take it directly to Leavenworth ...
She lost because she is a Capitalists, therefore all the Democrat Socialist that didn’t vote for her must have voted for Grennie Stein? What a ditz. Oh and BTW Kancklebeast had you gotten every Stein vote you would have only added Michigan to the win column and you still lose by 55 electorial votes.
Hillary Clinton a capitalist? No. She’s a crony capitalist, which has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with being a corruptocrat!
Every time she opens her mouth, b******t comes out.
A lot of socialists confuse capitalists and grifters.
Exactly. She hasn’t made one thing or created one service that benefited the market. All her money was built through taxation, donations and outright theft. Sounds more like the top of the Socialist food chain than Capitialist.
I guess you could count her time as a lawyer but that’s still in the extraction of money category to me. And no one wants to purchase Law services; they are essentially forced to for protection.
Thats Hillary in a nutshell these days; just sitting in the park, yelling at the trees and the squirrels about how she was robbed.
surely socialists haven’t packed the first state to vote in America? Coincidence. Or Fraud. Hmm.
It is electoral fraud to have any state vote early.. unconstitutional.
I agree. Hillary has become the Demonrats worst nightmare....a loser that just keeps pleading that she was robbed and needs another crack at it, 555.
The falling down old drunk has enough supporters that she will continue to raise havoc with any thoughts of putting forth an electable candidate.
When is she going to blame God? Cuz I think he played a big part in the election.
Oh My! The Democratic Party will not have that. She's Toast
Anyone else recall her stumbling, fumbling attempt to differentiate her Democrat platform from Bernies socialist one? This even AFTER the very same query was made to DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who made an equal mess!
I got news for Hillary it was not being a capitalist or any of the plethora of excuses that hurt you in the election. the reason why you lost was that most of those who were on the fence about voting for President Trump ended up voting for President Trump because it was self evident that you and your husband were criminals who committed treason and used murder, payoffs and blackmail to take control of the bureaucratic institutions of the united states.
