I will doubtless be castigated as a misogynistic pig for this, but Hillary Clinton and her campaign are beginning to make me question their contact with reality.
Hillary Clinton said on CBS Sixty Minutes that she faces more scrutiny than other top-level politicians, saying, “I often feel like there's the Hillary standard and then there's the standard for everybody else.” Shades of her earlier complaint of a “vast right wing conspiracy.” Her supporters will doubtless claim something to the effect that being paranoid does not disprove the presence of someone following you.
Then Clinton’s campaign manager claims that Vladimir Putin released the emails which revealed that the DNC had deliberately sabotaged the candidacy of Bernie Sanders; emails with sufficient level of evidence to force the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. He claims at considerable length that Putin did so as a deliberate effort to damage Clinton’s election chances and to bolster Donald Trump.
He may, of course, have done that without Clinton’s knowledge or approval, and I may have won the San Diego 10K last month. But I didn’t and neither did he.
Then, after Wasserman Schultz resigns from the DNC, Clinton praises her leadership (yes it is specifically her leadership that Clinton admires) and names Wasserman Schultz as a member of her campaign staff. Why? Well, apparently because the principles revealed by the emails that forced her resignation from the DNC are precisely the principles that Clinton admires and wants to use in her campaign.
The San Diego Union Tribune comments, in an article which is not online, that, “Two years ago it was almost unimaginable that she [Hillary Clinton] would be campaigning on debt-free college, expanding Social Security, breaking up ‘too big to fail’ banks and all these other progressive issues.”
Yes, and it still is. When someone says and does something for decades and then suddenly reverses that position for an election, what kind of person actually believes that reversal? Democrats mock Republicans for believing that dinosaurs coexisted with mankind 6000 years ago, and yet they believe that Hillary Clinton is going to… Oh never mind.
I'm not sure where to even start with this. Even if Mr. Putin did leaks the DNC docs, they are not denying that did these things they are being accused of. And it show Bernie Sanders was right all along. So Debbie Wasserman Shitz Shultz is the kind of lying, cheating crap p;olitician Clinton wants of her team. Of course she is! birds of a feather, peas in a pod and all that.
ReplyDeleteClinton changing her 'progressive' story is simply to try and get the Sanders supporters over to her side. Fairly blatant from my perspective, but they may hold their nose and go with her rather than Trump. Time will tell.
I think they ought to put Mr. squeaky clean Kaine up as president, and give the VP to Clinton.
