Falling in Line? Dem Congressman on ‘Hillary’s Hit List’ Now Endorses Her for 2016
The Blaze ^ | Jan. 13, 2014 2:46pm | Fred Lucas

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who according to a forthcoming book is on Hillary Clinton’s “hit list,” offered his support for the former secretary of State, senator and first lady if she runs for president again in 2016.

“I’m a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton. I hope she will run for president, and I’ve indicated I would be a supporter of Hillary Clinton if she runs, but again, I’m trying to figure out this last one,” Van Hollen said on MSNBC. “As I say, it’s an unsolved mystery. Maybe someone will pick up the phone and tell me. Again, this assumes this is a true report.”

See the interview starting at 3:30:

The book, “HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton,” by reporters Jonathan Allen of Politico and Amie Parnes of The Hill newspaper, talks about a spreadsheet prepared as one of the last orders of business by the 2008 campaign staff, “so that friends could be rewarded and enemies punished.”

Members of Congress were ranked on a scale of 1 to 7 in her run against Barack Obama, with 1 being wholehearted supporters of Clinoton’s 2008 bid and 7 being people “those who endorsed him but really should have been with her.”

Van Hollen was among the sevens. Van Hollen, the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, who in 2008 was the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and was in charge of recruiting and raising money for Democratic House candidates.

The memory of Marcy Park is still fresh in the minds of a lot of DemocRATS.

What is truly funny - actually funny - is all those “traitors” who dumped Cankles for Obama who now believe she will take them back and forgive them.

Hillary, forgiving traitors, from the level of the presidency.

And they believe it.

Liberalism truly is a mental illness - a suicidal mental illness.

As bill and hill like to say.....this is old news.

So the only reason it’s news again is to remind their enemies what they’re capable of.

Nice crew. Makes you wonder, if you were a dem with the dirt on them, why you wouldn’t just be better to take them down before Obama leaves.

It’s going to be a fascinating two years.

Those who “betrayed” hillary have had it.

I imagine no one knows their ranking on this list, so they might as well assume they’re #7 and join forces.

Well it will look like she forgives them until she gets what she wants. Then she’ll be setting examples to make sure nobody else steps out of line for her second term.

What a depressing possibility: two terms of 0bama followed by one or two terms of a dried-up Marxist hag.

Van Hollen (D-MD) can be bought off like a cheap hooker with $20 and a bottle of booze.

One of Maryland’s finest!

To which Blutarsky replied, “Blow job”!

OTOH, while thieves can't be trusted, they can be manipulated. See the Obamacare vote.

Van Hollen goes whichever way the leftist winds blow. All of the commies will stick together, no matter what.
