Derail Hillary Before Hillary Divides Party

From the beginning, Hillary Clinton has campaigned as if the Democratic nomination were hers by divine right. That's why she is falling short — and that's why she should be persuaded to quit now, rather than later, before her majestic sense of entitlement splits the party along racial lines.

If that sounds harsh, look at the argument she made Wednesday, in an interview with USA Today, as to why she should be the nominee instead of Barack Obama.

She cited an Associated Press article "that found how Senator Obama's support . . . among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again. I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on."

How silly of me. I thought the Democratic Party believed in a colorblind America.

Since when?

[Old Sarge]

“Colorblind America”? The only blind thing THEY want is blind loyalty to The Party.

[Vigilanteman]

Derail her? I'd rather let the Hillary Express crash and burn in Denver.

The party who has worked so hard at dividing America deserves to be divided. They are still going to elect a Democrat president, just one who wants to surrender to Mexico rather than surrender to Islamofacism.

[HoosierHawk]

Or, as Hillary told an reluctant donor of John Kerry in 2004, “You don’t have to fall in love; you just have to fall in line.”

Her ugly-ass head would just grow back.

This fraudulent party, built on the myth of identity politics needs to pay the price. So far it has cost them dearly. Identity politics is vulnerable when their candidates use it to fight each other. This tactic is supposed to be used against the Republican Party. They are showing us the mechanics of this mechanism, how it is used and how they intend to use it on the Republican Party. What is especially useful is it presents Republican strategists with a clear idea on how to defeat it in November.

Hillary is like that bus in the movie Speed and its such a beautiful thing to watch.

The RATS could put their convention on pay per view and I might actually buy the firstand/or hospitals, I suspect).

IMHO, best part of the article is the end (emphasis mine):

Clinton's sin isn't racism, it's arrogance. From the beginning, the Clinton campaign has refused to consider the possibility that Obama's success was more than a fad. This was supposed to be Clinton's year, and if Obama was winning primaries, there had to be some reason that had nothing to do with merit. It was because he was black, or because he had better slogans, or because he was a better public speaker, or because he was the media's darling.

...

"It's still early," Clinton said last Wednesday, vowing to fight on. At some level, she seems to believe the nomination is hers. Somebody had better tell her the truth before she burns the house down.

Ain't nobody more arrogant than Hillysnake. Except maybe her husband.

Still early? Someone get this sociopath a calendar.

Ha! The first thing they do is check your race, and you are evaluated and judged based on that. Their entire delegate selection process is rife with Orwellian racial quotas and special considerations.

[Theresawithanh]

Clinton's sins are both racism and arrogance. Stupidity was in the mix, too. She was going to be their nominee. It was going to be over by Feb.5th. Her campaign had little to no plan as to what to do when it wasn't.

I don't need to be a fly on the wall during her private conversations with Billy to know that the phrase "After all we've done for those people" gets said a lot.

You bet. Identity politics and victimhood.

The Democratic Nomination process has worked flawlessly; Producing the least likely candidate to achieve Victory in November. The Dems underlying problem is feelings always trumps substance.

The party was derailed by Bubba...This is just the final blow. I hope after this is over...he makes zip on the circuit...or should I say circus.

Yeah, I can see it now, Bill and Hillary forced into posing for skin mags to shore up dwindling campaign funds.

[bannie]

I’ll bet that those people have off-shore accounts loaded with more money than we can imagine...and I’m imagining a lot!

Their thieving is second only to their cheating.

They don’t have one decent moral between them...and they probably laugh at those who do.

Why is a Democrat train wreck anything other than a Good Thing? I realize Pepsi Center management might not feel that way, but we have the greater good to consider.
