Does Hillary Clinton Have Anything to Say? (Lefties Revolt?)
The Atlantic ^ | September 19, 2014 | Molly Ball

Everywhere Hillary Clinton goes, a thousand cameras follow. Then she opens her mouth, and nothing happens.

Clinton made a much-ballyhooed appearance in Iowa over the weekend, giving a speech widely noted for its substancelessness. She “had no explicit message of her own,” Politico noted, while The Economist pronounced it “underwhelming.” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough was so frustrated by Clinton’s lack of verve that he went on an extended rant about it, proclaiming, “I know her and like her, but she puts on that political hat and she’s a robot!” The coverage of Clinton’s speech seemed to contain more meditation about how anodyne she was than reporting of what she actually said.

Do not mistake what you are seeing for a revolt. This is analogous to the coach dressing down his star player in practice. The intent is not to harm the star, but to refine the star’s game. When 2016 approaches, these critics will be in line, and marvel at what an amazing speaker Hillary has become, with such a focused message.

Or perhaps induce Elizabeth Warren, aka, Pale Skin, to run.

She is SOOOOOO 90’s.

The party has moved on. She is far too conservative for
today’s Democrat base voter.

Somewhere between Liz Warren and Hugo Chavez is what they are after.

I think ol’ Lizzie is in the bullpen. If Hillary stumbles, has a stroke, or is seriously damaged by her past, Warren will be trotted out to replace Hillary.

Molly says that like it's a bad thing. Very few noises are more grating than the squawking tone and the witch's cackle of Ubershrew.

What difference does it make? Really! If people haven't arrived at the idea that Herself! is the emptiest of empty suits and a complete waste of oxygen by now, they never will.

And given the fact that a near majority of the population would vote for a bucket of warm spit if it had a D after its name, it doesn't really matter.

Bump. Whenever I see the MSM actually appear like they are criticizing their own, I know that it is the "master" rattling the chain. Dems give the MSM a place at the table.

I’m thinking the war with ISIS and National Security will be the defining issue for 2016. I can’t see Hillary (”What Difference Does It Make?”) making a strong case that she’s the best person to lead the country during a time of war.

Well, this means that at least the other side is a reticent as our side is to declare what they believe.

A pox on em all.

Dems don’t care. They want Hill because they figure they can make history with first female and they’ll get Bill to run things from behind the curtain in his “third” term.
