2016 Election - Clinton: The Hillary Clinton Thread

However, she went quickly from the DP payroll to the Clinton payroll. She's probably getting a huge raise. Her job description: keep your mouth shut and we'll take care of you. Oh.....and if you DO go to jail, we'll get you a pardon.

FIFY
 
Hopefully, this will be the ONLY bump, that she (I mean HER) gets from the DNC! HER was way down on the list of THREADS so it deserved a little bump.

Very good editorial by Ron Fournier
This is a note to Clinton Democrats—a desperate plea, actually. Your candidate staged a winning convention in Philadelphia: big stars, tight messaging, and a compelling case against her rival, Donald Trump.
The Republican nominee followed up by smearing a war hero’s family, revealing his ignorance about Russia’s incursions into Ukraine, denying a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he had previously claimed, and failing to quell suspicions that his team changed the GOP platform to protect Putin’s interests.

Hillary Clinton may be rising in the polls as a result, which is good news for people like me across the political spectrum who find Trump to be vacuous, soulless, and temperamentally unfit for the presidency.

Yet I’m not angry at Trump; I expect him to be repugnant. I am angry at Clinton, because she followed up her convention with another unnecessary lie; another excuse for people to distrust her; another thin reed upon which undecided voters could justify a belated allegiance to a man who former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called “a dangerous demagogue.”

On Sunday, the former secretary of state told FOX News’ Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey cleared her of misleading the public about her rogue email server at the state department: “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”

That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie.

“Clinton is cherry-picking statements by Comey to preserve her narrative about the unusual setup of a private email server,” wrote Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who awarded Clinton the maximum four “Pinocchios” for her whopper. “This allows her to skate past the more disturbing findings of the FBI investigation.”

Read here if you want to know about the FBI’s findings. In addition, her actions were an assault on the Freedom of Information Act and the hallowed concept of legislative oversight.

And yet, in my mind, the case against Clinton is not as disturbing as Trump’s mendacity, megalomania, intolerance, and intellectual slovenliness. With Clinton and Trump, the two most unpopular presidential candidates in the modern era, there is no equivalence.

I’m angry at Clinton because I expect better. The country needs better. I say again: If Trump becomes president, the world will have Clinton to blame.

Her dishonesty could push an unknown number of independent and undecided voters into Trump’s camp or toward a non-major-party candidate. If too many swing voters walk away from Clinton because she destroyed her credibility or because they don’t want to condone her behavior, the nuclear codes go to Trump.

That is why Clinton’s advisers, senior Democrats, and members of the liberal media need to stop covering for Clinton. Stop repeating her spin. Stop spreading her lies. Stop enabling her worse angels. It’s too late for Clinton to come clean, but honorable Democrats should at least insist that she stop muddying the water.

Please, for the sake of the country, tell her: Stop lying.

The above highlighted is why she really doesn't have to worry about it. It's not going to stop any time soon. A very large portion of Democrat voters don't really care, anyway.

Not very smart, is he?

The rest of us are getting what we knew we would get.

We now return to our regular programming of bashing Trumpty Dumpty.
 
IMO, HRC has made a decision to never come clean and tell the truth. I can't read her mind, but it seems she doesn't care about telling the truth and her strong base doesn't care either and will ignore and vote for her. Only time will tell.

I seriously don't know why he would expect better. When has a Clinton EVER made him expect better by their actions? This is how they operate and has been and always will be.

Because some liberals with the feel-good fuzzies actually BELIEVE the manure that comes out of the Clintons' mouths. And then when the public cashiers their Congress wholesale (insert 1994 reference here), the Clintons are standing there all smug and snorting, "Well, what are you gonna do, go vote Republican? You're stuck with us."

They've been given opportunities to cashier them wholesale, but they won't do it. Seriously - they could have thrown Clinton right off the boat in 1998 and ended this whole soap opera. Gore becomes President and beats Bush easily in 2000, running as the 'healer of the nation' with the great economy. Gore ran a terrible race at it was and still beat him in the popular vote. Hillary does not go to the Senate and the Clintons run off to Israel or another country for more power.

New Yorkers could have told the carpetbagger to take a hike but they didn't.

I disagreed with Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry - and even Obama - about a LOT of things. I knew they spun yarns on occasion to get their way policy wise. The Clintons are the only ones I've seen where you seriously have to parse every single word they say to determine what the deception is. You not only have to ask what the definition of 'is' is but every other word in the sentence as well.

No no you aren't........your link led to a Fox News webpage which contained an op-ed plus this video. I merely searched YT for the video and then posted it as an embed so others could just watch the video without having to navigate through the typical rhetoric that is found on all media web pages these days.

Thanks for your posting the link, 64met. :)
