Hillary Clinton hits back at Buttigieg over his slap at her failed 2016 campaign
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/12/19 | Naomi Lim

**SNIP**

"I really do believe that we always have to appeal to our better selves because the wolf is at the door, my friends," Clinton said Friday during an appearance at the 10th Annual Women in the World New York Summit. "Negativity, despair, anxiety, resentment, anger, prejudice, that's part of human nature and the job of the leader is to appeal to us to be more than we can be on our own, to join hands in common effort."

"I was well aware that we had problems that we had to solve, but it's been my experience that anger, resentment, prejudice are not strategies," the former First Lady, Secretary of State and senator from New York added. "They stop people from thinking. They don't enlist people in the common effort to try to find solutions."

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., told the Washington Post in January that President Trump connected with the concerns of ordinary Americans in a way Clinton did not.

“Donald Trump got elected because, in his twisted way, he pointed out the huge troubles in our economy and our democracy,” he said. “At least he didn’t go around saying that America was already great, like Hillary did.”

I think Matt Drudge must have a crush on Buttigieg.

Clearly, Matt has got his own agenda. It’s certainly not as conservative as it used to be.

Buttigieg is smart enough to softpedal identity politics and let his sexual orientation speak for itself. But he has nothing more to offer than any other run o’ the mill lefty. He will seek to appear as a “moderate.”

It may work for awhile, but sooner or later, the novelty will wear off, and if he lasts long enough, he will come up against his Waterloo from Trump Tower.

A case of Clintons’ self-centeredness hurting the party.

He’s bashing her to distinguish himself from her. And she’s bashing him ... hurting a DNC nominee and the party.

“Clearly, Matt has got his own agenda. It’s certainly not as conservative as it used to be.”

I rarely go there anymore for that reason—if I want to read those headlines, I can go directly to CNN & MSNBC.

That’s true. Not much difference now between Drudge Report and CNN & MSNBC.

There were rumors about Matt’s sexuality for a long time. I certainly don’t know but he sure does seem to be pushing Buttigieg.

His father was a well known Marxist...

From link:

A self-described progressive, Buttigieg has called to abolish the Electoral College system, supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and thinks that climate change is a national security threat.

In another MSNBC interview in February, Buttigieg said that socialism “is a word in American politics that has basically lost all meaning” and “has been used as a kill switch to stop an idea from being talked about.”

It’s becoming clearer why she wont shut up about 2016.....she finally realized Trump outsmarted her bigtime. She cant live with that.

She didnt campaign in Michigan and Wisconsin....states Trump won. Everybody said she “made a mistake.”

As the conspiracy hoax rolls out, some astute Freepers conjecture Trump knew he was being spied on.

So he mentioned inside polls indicating he was polling very low in those states.

The word was sent to Hillary who was lulled into complacency ......figuring she didnt have to campaign there.

ROFLOL.......
