It’s rather pathetic to watch Hillary repeatedly try
to launch her 2016 candidacy. It’s like
watching a drunk in a honky-tonk repeatedly launch himself at the restroom door,
and each time hitting the wall, falling back; he has another drink for inspiration
and courage, then hits the wall again, and when he finally gets through the
door discovers that he has already wet himself, or just plain misses the
toilet.
Poor, pampered, spoiled, mistreated Hillary. She reminds one of George Bush, pere, when he
first saw a bar code scanner in a grocery store. The press rode him hard for
being out of touch with average Americans for that gaff, but the liberal press
will not criticize Hillary for her lack of shared experiences with America’s
increasingly lower-class living standard.
She just doesn’t get where the nation has gone in the last 20 years, and
she looks and sounds foolish. Aging, overweight, out of shape, she still tries
to bounce into a crowd or onto a stage (or jauntily descend a jet-way at an
airport) but she just can’t pull it off with her waddle and carefully placed footsteps. Carly Fiorina accurately summed up Hillary’s
state of mind when she said that Hillary thinks sitting on a 757 and burning
tons of jet fuel is an accomplishment that proves what a good job she’s done as
Secretary of State. The woman has
accomplished nothing with all her travels.
And Mrs. Clinton appears rather dim-witted and slow
when she repeatedly tells us that having her own email server was legal and
that she never sent or received any classified information on the email system
she used. Really? Then how did she perform her job of Secretary
of State? She further told us that the
platform she used was originally used by her husband when he was president and
that the use of this 20-plus year old presidential system proved it was secure. She doesn’t even know that security and
firewall standards have changed greatly since Clinton’s presidency and that
this antiquated system would provide no security at all in 2015. And besides, President Clinton didn’t ever
use email, so why pretend that the system Hillary is using was used by her husband?
The only people excited about Hillary’s candidacy are
those who can profit from it or are nostalgic about the good old days when
socialism seemed like a good idea for America. But Obama has blown that idea to
pieces for those who pay attention and can think for themselves. Even old, sloppy, rumpled Bernie Sanders is more
attractive to voters.
One would feel sorry for her if she ever said anything
sensible, but her idiotic string of socialist propaganda makes us take pleasure
in her discomfort. At least Obama is a
true believer in big government and dictating behavior to the unwashed
masses. Hillary does it because Bill did
it and because that has become her genre, but she’s a failure at it because
socialism is unworkable and she is unable to express it in a way that makes it
appear attractive.
Her cackle of a laugh, the phony eyes-wide greeting of
crowds, the stare-over-the-heads of audiences as she speaks, her planned and
plotted “spontaneity”, her distant, reluctant hugs of people you can tell she
doesn’t even want to touch, make it uncomfortable to watch her. In fact she has sunk so far in the polls that
reflect her standing that Lanny Davis no longer shills for her, and James
Carville only comes out of retirement to defend her on the rarest of occasions. But I’ll say one thing for Mrs. Clinton that
one could not say a year ago: now that she has professional handlers to watch
her, she at least washes her hair with some regularity.
