Hillary is running a painfully stupid campaign
The New York Post ^ | May 18, 2016 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 05/18/2016 10:05:42 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Another primary night for the Democrats and another difficult night for Hillary Clinton, who’s almost certainly going to be the Democratic nominee even though a great many Democrats are determined to make that as difficult as possible for her.

She squeaked out a victory over Bernie Sanders in Kentucky — a state she won by 35 points in 2008 — before losing by a significant margin to Sanders in Oregon.

Many Democrats are disenchanted with her ideologically, but that’s not the only reason she’s suffering. Hillary is a politician in the John Kerry mold — she does inexplicably self-destructive things without actually having an impetuous, id-driven self-destructive streak...

In 2008, we were told that how Obama was running his campaign was ALL of the proof we needed of his management abilities.

They are able to run stupid campaigns because they know the media will cover for them. What they don’t understand is more and more of the public is beginning to understand that the media is PART of their campaign and NOT the neutral arbitrator they constantly claim to be.

Hillary Clinton will not only do herself in....but, she will take down a good portion of the Democrat Party with her....while she also destroys what little positive legacy POTUS Barack Hussein Obama has left.....which is not very much!!!

Unfortunate in that she still has many painfully stupid voters too.

Maybe it’s because she’s a painfully stupid person.

Maybe this can help get some support back. Just sign it, Hillary. I will pay for the return postage.

Other than preventing Hillary from becoming the nominee in 2008, what positive legacy does Obama have - destroying the Democrat Party?

One of the things that is working against her(and no one is mentioning it)is that in order to win the Presidency you have to be very very hungry. She has lived in the white house for 8 years and has already been there and done that. This alone means that something very important is likely to be missing and this talk about a shoddy campaign is just what you would expect from someone who just doesn’t have that one thing needed. When all is said and done she will just not be that aggressive and not that on the ball.

Hillary’s campaign looks painful because it is manufactured.

Her real character would be appalling to America, so it must be manufactured, handled and massaged

I agree. Obama phoned it in in 2012. He was totally disinterested in debating Romney and it showed. If it wasn’t for Candy to bail him out, Obama would have been crushed.

I don’t think you can give Candy all the credit. A feckless pair of opponents helped a lot.

ideologically she is as leftist as Bernie the Red

so the D voters have essentially no ideological choice within their party primaries

it is Hillary’s CORRUPTION and LIES that cause voters of all stripes to oppose her

she has nore baggage than American Airlines
including her recent taking of over $100 million in bribes from enemy IslamoNazi Moslem dictatorships overseas

she is sold out to the enemy and should be in prison, not in our WH

Dems do not want her on their ticket because she will drag the whole slate down the toilet with her

will her super-delegates stay bought? maybe NOT, there were news reports and interviews just yesteday about how a couple hundred of them now will not commit to vote for her, after all....

I think Obama's hubris and laziness led him to such a lackluster campaign.

He knew he was going to win. The press was totally in the tank with him and he knew Romney was not there to win so he just went through the motions.

The GOPe selected Romney because they knew he didn't want the Presidency and they all really want what Obama has been doing. The GOPe wants the total destruction of our once-free Nation because they will make billions more before the collapse and then they will just head off to their private islands and live like kings.

I know that profit is good but when a person has so much money that it just becomes a numbers game and they want even more then that total greed destroys nations and people. The ultra rich hide behind "Capitalism" to destroy us as a free nation and thus enslave us for their power and ego.

She thinks she’s OWED the White House, and she’s pissed that she has to campaign and talk to the “little peasants” whose votes she wants.

There really is something seriously wrong with Hillary and her thought process.

What kind of politician seriously running for the Presidency would be stupid enough, tone deaf enough and greedy enough to pull a $250,000 personal salary out of campaign contributions from from her own campaign coffers.

Especially when she made 7 million dollars in the same time frame for doing little or nothing to earn those dollars .

And Bill made even more

And her Clinton Foundation personal slush fund took in billions

And she carries the all Clinton pay for play baggage

It just boggles the mind

What the heck was she thinking about.

It really goes to an intrinsically maladjusted judgement and thought process
