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

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.

Marshal Zhukov to President Eisenhower on Soviet citizens being allowed to own guns:

“We say to them, `no, comrades, you can’t have those things. You must give them to the state’”.

Excuse number 947827866634357 for losing the Presidency. Even worse, not ONE of those excuses was an admission that it was HER fault!

Hold it!

HRC just validated that the Democratic Party is rife with socialists.

That is a gift.

Thank you HRC, Not many socialists. .. er democrats would admit that. Even though it is obvious, that admission ist verbotten.

This is a joke, right?

Even after everything that’s happened, Hillary STILL can’t tell the truth.

She’s right. Being a capitalist in today’s Democratic party IS a liability.

Of course, to call Hillary Clinton a capitalist is laughable.

Dear Hill, there is a vast difference between
a capitalist and a con artist/grifter.

A socialist is also a con artist/grifter
but with a better con.
