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.'"

We Freepers already knew that, but it is nice to hear a Democrat admit the truth. We also know the Democrats want her to go away. Don't listen to them, Hillary; you keep talking.
Wow, just when I thought she’d already blamed EVERY possible thing, along comes “capitalism.”
Lame, as usual. #LockHerUp already.
Excuse #1001.
Thought this was satire for a split-second.
But then again, she’s using Marxist terms. Perhaps she meant “state capitalist” by error of omission, which is actually something straight out of the Manifesto?
Have we broken 100 in the number of reasons why she lost yet?
I find it hard to believe, that somebody asked her if she’s a capitalist.
I have doubts that questioning ever took place.
Confidential to Hillary...
Turning a (cough, cough) "charity" into millions in profit is not capitalism. And...
Selling uranium (that is not yours, and not yours to sell) to the Russians is not capitalism.
In brief, DECEIT and THEFT are different from earning money and thus different from capitalism.
Easy breezy, n'est ce pas?
It is kind of interesting that she is sort of attacking ‘her side’.... Although most of them are socialists (at best), they probably wouldn’t want the ‘normies’ to find out about it.
And the only thing about Hillary that is capitalist is that she wants all the capital in the world in her pocket, while she rules from the Capitol, through her own socialist-communist policies.
The woman is a lunatic. Perez and the rest of the DNC: you better get her locked up somewhere before she destroys your hopes for 2020
Yes, spoken like a true capitalist. Maybe a Das Kapitalist.
Omg.. a capitalist? Her? lololol
Maybe she needs to stop drinking.
On second thought, an old joke would be superfluous; Hillary IS an old joke!

is this her way of signaling she’s not a full-blown communist?
She’s a socialist too.
The woman is unhinged.
She’s a Krony Kapitalist, Big Time.
No, let her keep going. She should demand the nomination in 2020.
Oh, Yeah, I agree, tactically.
But I’d enjoy the schadenfreude of watching Hillary being ‘put away’ by her ‘own side’. Could be the final straw and cause her to self destruct.
Who gives a sh**!!!??? You lost and he won!! The end!
Now if she got an orange jumpsuit.....
