Hillary Clinton: America needs people with 'bedrock values,' like Betty Ford

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Former first lady, secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton brought a message of cooperation to Michigan this week.

Talking about a recent conversation with Mike Pompeo, President Donald Trump's nominee to replace Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, Clinton said she was happy to talk to Pompeo despite the fact he once, as a congressman, called her "morally reprehensible" in connection with the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

"I think we've got to get back to talking to each other and more importantly listening to each other," Clinton said. "We can't allow the partisanship and politicization of everything to interfere with our national interests."(snip)

"Our country goes through ups and downs, in case you haven't noticed," she said, earning a big laugh from the crowd of about 600 gathered for the event.

"It's really important that we have people with bedrock values who understand what's important, what's lasting, and even what's eternal," Clinton said.

She's looking more and more busted up, lately. Is she hiding something on her neck?

And who is not talking to each other? Who is not listening to each other?

In my opinion, the liberals and leftists are the ones not listening, and the ones who want to shout down and shut down discussion and debate.

It’s frustrating to hear this from an Alinskyite such as Hillary, that we have to talk and listen and find commin ground. BS. Hillary and her ilk want to shove this GS down our throats.

Betty Ford was a proabortion lush but I doubt she or her husband ever “Michigancided” their enemies.

Well, there's one thing that Hillary and Betty Ford have in common.

Betty Ford got cured off the Wild Turkey though.

One non-functioning alcoholic praising a former non-functioning alcoholic.

Priceless.

By Betty Ford's own admission, she was a stumbling zombie mixing vodka and prescription painkillers until 79'.

She thinks she has bedrock values? Bedrock globalist, marxist, nazi, self enrichment schemes, America sucks theory, etc perhaps?

“——praising a former non-functioning alcoholic.”


In what way was Betty Ford non-functioning?

Yes, I remember when Betty Ford was a drunk; she appeared as a commentator on some Ice Capades show or something and was astonished in her commentary to see dancing bears on skates. She was really slurring her words, hence the Betty Ford Clinic. I’m sure they’d take an addicted old bat like you, Hillary.

"I think we've got to get back to talking to each other and more importantly listening to each other," Clinton said. "We can't allow the partisanship and politicization of everything to interfere with our national interests."

From the alleged human that IIRC promotes "resist", and...

From the alleged human that IIRC conspires w CNN to plant partisans at town hall debates (not exactly "listening") and...

From the alleged human that IIRC thinks that a vast right-wing conspiracy is responsible for her alleged husband's "issues" (politicization anyone?).

Hah!
