Hillary Clinton should prepare herself for a dogfight - not a coronation tour
The Telegraph ^ | 05/11/2014 | Peter Foster

Posted on 05/11/2014 6:10:48 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton is riding high in the betting for 2016, but this week was filled with reminders, if they were needed, that her dream of becoming America's first female president cannot be accomplished without indignity.

Officially, Mrs Clinton is currently enjoying her first spell outside public life for 30 years, but in practice her undeclared campaign is already filling the vacuum left by an increasingly marginalised and irrelevant-looking second-term president.

While Barack Obama was off fundraising in California this week, it was Mrs Clinton who was drawing all the attention on cable news.

First, Monica Lewinsky broke her silence of a decade, writing in Vanity Fair that she found it "troubling" that, as she saw it, Mrs Clinton "blamed not only me, but herself", backhandedly raising questions about the former First Lady's moral and emotional judgment.

Then Republicans in Congress voted to form yet another panel to investigate the handling of the Benghazi attacks in which two American diplomats and two CIA officers were killed towards the end of Mrs Clinton's time at State.

Mrs Clinton, who is certain to be called to testify, has already described the Benghazi episode as her "biggest regret" while in office, and conservatives will waste no opportunity to remind voters of a security debacle they say the White House deliberately tried to whitewash.

Then there was Boko Haram. Mrs Clinton's tweet drawing attention to Nigeria's kidnapped schoolgirls under the hashtag "#BringBackOurGirls" was initially hailed as a demonstration of her global influence, with Michelle Obama and other influential people joining a spontaneous campaign.

But conservatives were soon rushing to the television studios to point out that Mrs Clinton had repeatedly declined to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization while she was Secretary of State. Yet another attempt to question her record.

“Yet another attempt to question her record.”

There was no attempt. We actually are questioning her record and for good reason.

Yet another? The Brits need to learn more about the US government and how it functions before they attempt to play the part of a journalist.

Hillary....You were absolutely certain you had the nomination the last time...and your own party skunked you.

I believe you are playing the party right now...and you're out to sc*** the party. No matter....it's just a matter who gets who first. Quick....faint....and it will be all over and the Dems will have to bring their candidate out of the closet....just like they did with Obama.

With her huge backing among women, I’m afraid HRC is all the American people know or care to know.

I would never, NEVER associate the word “dignity”
with Hillery R. Clinton. I stopped reading after
that.

The Clinton's will finish the job of destroying America if Obama doesn't finish..All these communist are from the same mold..They are all lying pieces of trash..

As for Monica I believe she is getting promised riches for bringing this slut fest of hers up with the pervert..

‘First, Monica Lewinsky broke her silence of a decade, writing in Vanity Fair that she found it “troubling” that, as she saw it, Mrs Clinton “blamed not only me, but herself”, backhandedly raising questions about the former First Lady's moral and emotional judgment’

This is all set up by Hillary and the Pervert.

Finally someone found the only thing Hillary is qualified for, a dog fight.

Again, we have to hear this from off-shore sources, never in the MSM at home.

As was once said in a song

“I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight, even if she had a chance to win”

The only way Hillary will inherit the White house will be because God has turned his back on America.

As we learned from her last campaign, she and her offspring refuse to answer questions. This should be above average theater.

Yes, but what sel-respecing dog would engage her in a dogfight.

Hillary is a dog, even for a dog.
