HRC staff ordered to lower expectations

DES MOINES — You can accuse the Hillary Clinton campaign of a lot of things, but overconfidence is not one of them. Not in Iowa. Not anymore.

Orders have come from the top of the campaign here that nobody is to predict that Hillary Clinton will win Iowa.

That may be part of the “expectations” game that all campaigns play.

Or it may be because the campaign no longer is really sure that Clinton will win.

I unintentionally put it accurately. “Der” (masculine) fits perfectly, don’t you think?

Hillary also told her parents to lower expectations before she introduced them to Bill.

Forty percent of Americans say they would vote to keep Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from winning the presidency, more than twice the total for their No. 2 "anti-" pick, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.

In a new Fox 5-The Washington Times-Rasmussen Reports survey, 64 percent of Republicans, 42 percent of third-party or independent voters, and 17 percent of Democrats said the candidate they most want to keep from the White House is Mrs. Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton is better known than any [other] presidential candidate on either side. She has a lot of people who love her and a lot of people who hate her," said Scott Rasmussen, who conducted the poll.

While Mrs. Clinton performed poorly among most demographics, younger male voters were particularly cold. More than half of the adult men younger than 40 said they would use their vote to keep Mrs. Clinton from returning to the White House.

Afterwards, Big Brown delivers the Sad Hill in her big brown and ugly pant suit to light up a meeting for her in Gilford, NH!

Then the Hill lights up the Gilford, NH Meeting with her charm and energy!

Hopefully the scenes below will happen early next year.

“Can you put Nancy Bill and Hillary on here?”

I don’t have those skills, but maybe Potlatch, Devolve or Phil Dragoo can do that.

As a gesture of our deep gratitude, I suggest every member of the VRWC send
Hillary a gallon of Tabasco just to say "grazias, Hil" for stupidly taking 5-6
positions on licensing illegals.

Mmmmmmm.........okay.

Hill’s comrade-—Rooty-—just got over the trots.

So now they’ll be even, thanks to you. LOL.

Anybody have a link to the transcript of the interview between Senator Clinton and The Perky One?

I have no exact quotes but I do remember Sen. Clinton saying in no uncertain terms that she WILL win in Iowa. And her statement was made with a very cold, steely voice. Almost spooky.

Good post Phil. I like how you did Hillary’s face for the background! Merry Christmas if I’m not on much for awhile.
