Hillary Wants to be President, She Just Doesnt Want to Run

Ready for Hillary, the campaign before the campaign which has churned out some creepy t-shirts and a terrible country song, is $11 million in debt, and Hillary still isnt ready.
While Hillary was delivering six figure speeches at heavily indebted universities, Ready for Hillary was burning through a giant pile of money trying to stir up Obama level enthusiasm for their uncharismatic candidate by selling fifty dollar champagne glasses emblazoned with a giant H, a Hillary Clinton cat collar and a Hillary Clinton Christmas tree ornament.
Ready for Hillary wasnt ready to deliver the overpriced crap it was hawking with customers complaining that their items werent delivered and that no one was answering their emails. Usually politicians wait until after they get elected to start ripping people off, but Hillary is too broke to wait that long.
Despite advertising a Hillary for the Holidays set of Hillary champagne glasses and ornaments, her organization is already $11 million in debt. Apparently not that many people want to scare small children by hanging a Hillary Clinton ornament from their Christmas tree.
Like Ready for Hillary, Hillary isnt ready. Instead she postponed her campaign until the spring of 2015 after having promised to decide on the first of the year. Back then Hillary was claiming that she would have to be convinced that I have a very clear vision with an agenda of what I think needs to be done.
Serious candidates dont ask someone else to flatter them into believing that they have a clear vision. Thats the opposite of what a clear vision is.
Hillary Clinton spent two decades clearing her way to the White House. If you take her at her word, then she already spent a fortune running for president without ever having a clear vision or an agenda of what needs to be done.
Even Hillary isnt Ready for Hillary.
Hillary Clinton doesnt like running for things. Instead she likes having them reserved for her. In the White House she got to make policy without running for office. Giulianis illness spared her the bother of having to run a real Senate campaign. Hillary got the Secretary of State gig in exchange for backing Obama in 08 and got frontrunner status for 16 thanks to her husbands efforts for him in 12.
The one time that she faced a tough campaign, she lost.
Now she wants a clear path to the nomination. And then she wants an easy election. Hillary doesnt want to campaign. She wants to get the job by just showing up the way that she gets a constant stream of awards on everything from Hispanic leadership to AIDS to the oceans by just showing up.
Hillary Clinton is great at receiving awards for doing absolutely nothing. What she isnt any good at is making a case for why she deserves anything except an indictment.
Her book tour turned into a public relations nightmare despite a friendly press when she made one gaffe after another, claiming to have been flat broke and then trying to paste that over, culminating in poor book sales and a multi-million dollar loss for her publisher. During the midterm election, her campaign appearances helped sink Democratic candidates after she claimed that businesses dont create jobs.
So instead Hillary Clinton has gone on padding her bank account with highly profitable and heavily controlled appearances at private events. At these appearances Team Hillary scrutinizes and controls every aspect of her appearance from the color of her armchairs to demanding that those who paid extra to be photographed with her be ready and posed so that she can just walk in and out of the photo.
It also dictates that as little as possible of her appearance will be made public. At a UCLA speech, Team Hillary only allowed a two-minute highlight clip to be made public while stipulating that it would have to be taken down before the election. Thats a privilege afforded to her by a university system run by party pal Janet Napolitano. It wont work that way when Hillary is appearing at a county fair in Iowa.
There will be no censorship, no prestaged photos and no plates of Crudités and hummus. Hillary will have every word out there, shell have to smile when the camera is on her and chew corn dogs. For a wealthy and privileged politician who has gotten used to a life of luxury suites and cocktail parties, the campaign trail is a long tall slice of hell. And Hillary Clinton wants to delay it for as long as possible.
The Hillary non-campaign dissuades Democrats from running by convincing them that the nomination is already locked up in her closet along with the awards from Elton John and the Queen of Spain without tempting them into running by showing just how poorly she campaigns. Despite being ridiculously famous, Hillary Clinton is hoping to stay an enigma so no one realizes how clueless she really is.
Ready for Hillary is a third rate version of Obamas campaign, trying to wrap her in the same aura of history and iconography without having the first clue about such basics as language, design and history. Hillary Clintons pre-campaign strategy is to echo what other people are saying. Whenever an issue comes up, Hillary waits until some kind of consensus forms before she offers up her clear vision.
If the consensus changes, so does her vision.
When she does say something controversial, shes only echoing someone more controversial, as was the case when she ripped off Elizabeth Warrens You didnt build that rant to declare that businesses dont create jobs. And then she quickly walked her statement back. Thats Hillarys idea of a clear vision.
Hillary Clintons endless pre-campaign gives her the best of both worlds. Hillary can cash in with little accountability. She can engage the public and the press entirely on her terms. And her political rivals treat her as inevitable because she hasnt actually gotten into the thick of a campaign. If she had her way, she would announce her candidacy on the day before the election.
And while she cant do that, she can delay her campaign for as long as possible.
Hillary will be ready to run at the last minute or when another candidate emerges as a serious threat. If any Democrats still think that Hillary will be a change from the golf-and-teleprompter administration, they had better think again. Hillary Clinton may not spend her time on the golf course, but she wont be spending it doing anything like work either. Her time as Secretary of State showed us that much.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton liked the glamorous aspects of her job, like flying around the world to meet with famous people, but had no use for the boring stuff like dealing with desperate requests for security from her own people in Benghazi. As President, Hillary will follow the Obama itinerary of photo ops with world leaders and celebrities while blowing off the rest of her job and blaming Congress.
Unlike Obama, Hillary is even blowing off her campaign. Thats a level of entitlement too far even for her privileged party.
Hillary Clinton has only two political assets. One is her name. The other is the desperate need by many working class Democrats to believe that the horrors of the Obama years could have been averted if Bill Clinton had won through her and restored the prosperity of the nineties. Its a sad delusion when applied to a woman who spent the Obama depression partying with the rich while ignoring the poor.
Even now she is delaying her campaign as long as possible to avoid having to mingle with the victims of her partys economic policies.
Bravo for the Clutch Cargo "only my mouth moves" reference.
She desparately wants an easy path to election strewn with rose petals. That easy path is named Jeb Bush.
“When she does say something controversial, shes only echoing someone more controversial, as was the case when she ripped off Elizabeth Warrens You didnt build that rant to declare that businesses dont create jobs. “
I thought The One came up with that gem.
We want her to run to, as fast and as far away from America as she can get, we’ll supply the gas, boat, plane fare, anything to get her to run, and take that mess in the White House, Peloski, Reid, McConnell, Bonehead and a few other with her, RUN Hitlery RUN as far and as fast as you CAN AWAY from here!!
I think the squaw, Elizabeth Warren, will be much harder to beat. I believe Warren is basically a Communist, or at the very least a hard left radical Socialist. As such, I think Warren will easily excite all the college campuses that would otherwise be left lukewarm for Hillary. She would promise every minority everything they ever dreamed of, and she will score well with them. The brain-dead single women Sandra Fluke and Lena Dunham types will eager line up for their sister who is down with the struggle. While I think Hillary would have this group as well, I doubt Hillary could generate the intensity that Warren could.
Therefore, I'm ready for Hillary.
Just go be the Drunken Grandma
Warren will be the frontrunner for a while and take all the flak. At the appointed time, the Clintons et al will knock her out at the last possible moment, Hillary steps in to save the day and all criticisms will be “old news”...
president arkansas bedonkadonk!
Even Putin can sing that song!
I think the Dem party is itching to dump Hill for Liz Warren. I have $5 and a pitcher of Margaritas riding on my belief she will never even run.
Now that gay marriage has made a new definition of marriage, the marriage between the Hildebeast and Lia-a-watha Warren will be seeking a definition of its own. Perhaps Bestiality.
The real Hillary has finally been captured on camera!
I’m not taking that bet.
