Clinton: You can't be civil with a party that wants to destroy what you stand for

By Michael Burke - 10/09/18 11:58 AM EDT

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said "civility can start again" in the United States only if Democrats win back the House or the Senate in November's midterm elections.

Clinton, who made the comments in an interview with CNN, added that "you cannot be civil with" the Republican Party because it "wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about."

"That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength," Clinton said.

“And you heard how the Republican members, led my [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.], the president, really demeaned the confirmation process, insulted and attacked not only Dr. Ford but women who were speaking out," she continued.

Clinton was referencing the confirmation process of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was upended by sexual misconduct accusations made by three women, including Christine Blasey Ford. Kavanaugh, who denied the allegations, was sworn in on Saturday following a 50-48 confirmation vote.

Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, also said that the Republicans have "put a lot of time, money, and effort in promoting" lies and falsehoods.

Another excuse not to be civil. Democrats seem to want nothing else anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For once she said something I can agree with.
We can’t be civil with those intent on destroying the Constitution, the rule of law and the presumption of innocence.

I agree with her.

It is hard for us to be civil to the Democrats, because the Democrats want to destroy us. She’s right. A political party which practices character assassination cannot be reasoned with.

Translation:

"We Democrats are going to keep throwing these violent infantile public temper tantrums until you give us back the political power we lust for"

They certainly don't want Moderates, Independents, or White People anymore.

What these a-holes can’t quite figure out, is that we have a nation. We recognize the soundness of the Constitution and our form of government. It isn’t perfect, but no government is.

They refuse to acknowledge that they are the destroyers.

We are not interested in becoming the next version of the U S S R.

If they don’t like it under this nation’s Constitution and laws, it is they who need to go.

There’s the door. Use it, you dumb as dirt Lefties.

We won the Election.

They said if Trump lost, he must accept the results of the election or he is the biggest threat to democracy we've ever seen. Then they lost and refused to accept the results of the election. They are incapable of seeing the hypocrisy there because they are mostly mentally ill.

This coming from an Evil Wench that conspired with the DNC/Russians/Fusion GPS/Perkins Coi/FBI to destroy a Presidential Candidate with the full force of a Governmental Intellegence Apparatus and when that failed attempted a Coup of a Sitting US President?

FU you evil slug!

Ok. I’ll bite. What does Hillary Clinton stand for besides a revenue stream to the Clinton Foundation?
