A curious dualism emerges in New York Times reporter Amy Chozicks book Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling. As I noted yesterday, Chozick makes it clear that she was rooting for Clinton. But she also thinks Clinton hates her.
Chozick shouldnt take things so personally: Clinton hates everyone. You cant relate to people you despise. Her inability to master the basics of being a politician inspired one of the great underreported witticisms of the 2016 campaign, when Donald Trump was asked about his comparatively loose debate preparations. I dont need to rehearse being human, he said.
As a college sophomore, Clinton once described herself as a misanthrope. Her inability to hide that made her an amazingly poor candidate, one who would have had difficulty capturing a seat on any city council on her own. Dealing with the populace standing between her and power was never anything but a chore.
Chozick and the other reporters covering Clinton in 201516 were pulling for her. You could hear it in the questions they asked. Chozick makes it obvious in her new book. Yet Clinton was convinced this gaggle of liberal women was somehow out to take her down, and she barricaded herself off from them. She was a glum loner, not a happy warrior.
After the election defeat, Chozick met with a Democratic-party stalwart who was a major Clinton supporter in an apartment with a panoramic view of Manhattan and walls covered with Monets. (Chozick doesnt identify this person.) Look around, the big shot told the reporter. Im not a loser. Hillary is a L-O-S-E-R. Then the person made an L sign with one hand.

Barged in by "accident', I'm sure...
Great column.
She’s *almost* more horrible than I thought she was. What a hideous, arrogant human being.
It’s nearly enough to make me read the book, but it would be like watching a train wreck.
For all its humanistic humbug,the Left is actually anti-human. It has slaughtered millions throughout its history and continues to do so now, abortion being an example.
LOL! I hadnt heard that one before. That was a very fun read. What a humorless awkward shrew she is. Now, without power, nobody will even want to know her. Its full Nora Desmond stage from here on out.
I'm thinking of all the interviews Trump gave, and how gracious he always was, even thought the press corps were rude to him.
I’m meeeeeelting!

LOL BOOM.

Man, have you hit on something.
The left’s policies routinely get people killed on a daily basis.

...
However, the press did everything to destroy Trump and to Boost Mrs. Clinton. And they are still at it.
A lot of people have claimed Hillary is a narcissist. She isn’t. She has Antisocial Personality Disorder.
For decades, people have been silent about the Clintons because of their power, their wealth, and their tendency to Arkancide people.
When the dam breaks, and they and their cabal are indicted, and their money frozen, and the public begins to see who these people really are ...
... a whole lot of people are going to rush to a microphone and offer to give evidence against them. They have no friends. This will cost them.
Lefties, Progressives, Dymboceaps are still transitioning......on the cusp of human evolution. Still not recognizable......or acceptable.....as distinctly human.
..Clinton excoriates the journos for having big egos and little brains.
Boy did this country dodge a bullet.
I thank the Lord almost every day.
Actually, you may recall that Hillary’s camp wanted Trump to be the candidate. They were worried the most with Rubio. So, the word went out to give Trump as much air time as he wanted, and of course dig him each time he said something controversial.
After he won the nomination, they turned on him, and every single article on his was negative.
I watched again last night before going to bed, the Highlights of election night. Just about every single poll had him down big, I mean big.
They were predicting Hillary getting over 340 EVs.
The casualties from this are many. George Will, Megyn Kelly, CNN, MSNBC etc.
The man is amazing. Truly amazing...
Get it from a library so you don’t fill the reporter’s pockets.
Everyday that goes by more and more people are coming to that conclusion - probably for numerous reasons but two seem obvious:
As more people come to this obvious recognition of our current situation it can only help President Trumps popularity - our "I told you so s" are going drive the Hate America First crowd over the edge
With approx 320 million American's watching common sense in action a lesson might just be absorbed by enough of the nation. I wonder if progressive/leftists/democrats/socialists subconsciously know this - somehow realizing major goals (destroying America) have been set back decades - after being so sure it was a lock with HRC's election.
Now several generations of Americans get to see what real leadership looks through the prism of a presidency like no other.
LOSER!
Yep, the reality of success will shine thru even the media distortions.
That inability to schmooze was a noxious gas, the flammable hydrogen that doomed Clintons two Hindenburg-like presidential campaigns.
