Hillary: Being A ‘Capitalist’ Hurt Me In ’16 Because So Many Dems Are Socialists
Breitbart ^ | 05/02/18 | Tony Lee

Posted on 05/03/2018 4:24:30 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday claimed that being a “capitalist” hurt her in the 2016 primaries because so many Democrats are socialists.

“It’s hard to know, but I mean 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!’” Clinton said during a conversation with Alan Murray, the Chief Content Officer at Time Inc.

Clinton barely defeated Sanders in the Iowa caucuses in 2016, getting 49.9% of the delegates to Sanders’ 49.6%.

Sanders, before a potential 2020 run, is now pushing a program that would guarantee every American a government job that pays $15 per hour in addition to health benefits.

This is more accurate since they are not really for any particular nation. They are for a Global community controlled by a Global government.

I'm not even sure they're even for a global government. They're really against government, period. Anything with rules, authority, consequences. They just want to do their own thing, jet-set around the world, and have everyone in the background at their beck & call.

Hillary's not a capitalist because she hasn't had a job in the private for-profit sector in thirty years, and she only had that job because her husband was governor.

But she's also not a socialist, because she doesn't want to confiscate the businesses of all the people who gave money to her campaign.

“marginally bright “

Sorry, but I beg to differ! She’s lucky to break 100 on her IQ. She is just your typical white collar criminal.

Hillary is a hard core Socialist. She has not been a Capitalist, since converting to the Leftist ideology just out of high school.

Yet she loves money.

Hillary Clinton colluded with PACs, cricket noises.

She rigged a primary system, cricket noises.

Her campaign made unauthorized charges below the level that would bring in bank auditors, cricket noises.

She operated a personal server on which she and others knowingly and willfully violated various laws regarding secrets, cricket noises.

All of this chirp, chirping doesn’t even include Arkancide, destruction of government property (cell phones), pay for play including Uranium 1 and so many other things.

But let Sean Hannity talk to a lawyer on retainer by the President!

So many envious Left Wing Extremists vote in the Democrat Party.

And she’s admitting that Sanders’ voters cost her the election.

But ironically crony capitalism is a form of socialism.

Hillary is an Alinskyite, so she is in no way a capitalist. But, she can add another excuse to here ever-lengthening list of excuses.

Did Hillery get a face lift?
Lose weight?

She certainly appeared to have had something done. Her upper body was stiff, her head movements were not natural and that large scarf certainly was covering a medical device or medical procedure.....

Sure, and the top folks in Socialist/Communist nations always have money.

It’s the workers that take it in the shorts.
