Hillary on the brink of collapse
NY POST ^ | April 25, 2015 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 04/26/2015 7:38:13 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

 passage from Ernest  Hemingway fits the moment. In “The Sun Also  Rises,” one character asks,  “How did you go bankrupt?” and another responds: “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

The exchange captures Hillary Clinton’s red alert. She’s been going politically bankrupt for a long time, and now faces the prospect of sudden collapse.

If she’s got a winning defense, she better be quick about it. The ghosts of scandals past are gaining on her and time is not on her side.

The compelling claims that she and Bill Clinton sold favors while she was secretary of state for tens of millions of dollars for themselves and their foundation don’t need to meet the legal standard for bribery. She’s on political trial in a country where Clinton Fatigue alone could be a fatal verdict.

After 25 years of corner-cutting and dishonest behavior, accumulation is her enemy. Each day threatens to deliver the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It may already have happened and we’re just waiting for public opinion to catch up to the facts.

Meanwhile, her Houdini skills are being tested big time.

Hillary’s one big advantage is obvious — she’s the only serious contender for the Democratic nomination, and she beats most GOP opponents in head-to-head matchups. But everything else weighs against her, including momentum.

I don’t think its a ploy to get it out early, for her sake.
All of these things that are out are the sort that begs for investigation. And they are interconnected. And its been dripping out, in measured doses. And every new bit has been blindsiding the Clinton operation. If it were for her sake the whole dossier would have dropped at once, with positive spin arranged ahead of time.
You can see that behind whats out, there are a lot of other shoes ready to drop.
And the whole series of stories (7 or 8 so far this year including twists and followups) has come out of the MSM, from Bill’s sex island pal to secret email to Clinton foundation finances. Next week there will be something else.
Maybe the Enquirer story about Hilary’s girlfriends will get a “serious” article in the NYT style section.

Exactitude! Flying around aimlessly, burning up thousands of tons of jet fuel that contributes to global warming. Then arriving at the capitol of some third world cesspit and getting to glad hand the THUG in CHIEF!!!!

A sweaty, smelly encounter but Hillary seemed to revel in it. Hillary and Huma I should say

O’Malley has a good looking wife and four handsome children. The Democrat image forgers are salivating at the chance to make him the next president.

Hillary just has to stumble seriously and Martin O’Malley, who is Obama backed, will be ready to take over

The Dems and Hillary are stuck for now. She will have to leave the campaign probably before Fall. She will have to claim health reasons or some sort. Maybe fake a trip to the hospital.

I don't understand Hillary's appeal so far. She has accomplished nothing. She stood by Bill during the intern scandal like a weakling. She is a pathological liar and her lies expose that she is stupid. There have been scandals after scandals. Then there are questions about her health. And why did Chelsea marry into a family with a bad reputation? Was she that desperate?

“My sources said she even used the “N” word often when she was in the Governor’s mansion in Arkansas.”

Anyone who had/has dirt on The Beast from the Arkansas days is either dead or in a self-preservation mode of silence.

Valerie Jarrett is engineering her ‘collapse’. Hillary isn’t liberal enough. Scary, huh?

But Elizabeth Warren IS liberal enough for VJ. That is why The Reptile met with Warren a few weeks before Clinton announced.

If I was Hillary, I would go on a scorched-earth campaign against Valerie Jarrett. I’d release secrets only Hillary will have access to. I’d even center my campaign on campaigning AGAINST Valerie Jarrett. She might even attract some moderate Republican voters that way.

Hill has to stay in the race just long enough so she can tell the ChiComs and the Russians that she earned all those millions they gave her and Billy Jeff for access.

I hope I am wrong but as bad as Hillary is, most of the dems, or should I say dims, would take her over any Conservative.

It looks like the Fox News (4/24) polls show Hillary is leading ALL GOP contenders.

What you fail to understand is this:

1. Polls taken this far away from the last week before the election are meaningless.

2. Assuming these polls had any meaning at all, at this point the inescapable fact is clear: HRC is far below 50% in all of them, and for no other reason than her name has been around the longest she is the titular "incumbent"

3. Her star is sinking, not rising. Meanwhile in the space of less than a month's time those who have announced are already well into the 40%'s where some started from positions in the single digits mere weeks earlier.

I doubt that Hillary even makes it to the primary; still every day she stays in the race she sucks the wind and dollars out of anyone else on the (D) side who would hope to mount a challenge.

The (D)'s have the long knives out for each other. Obama's and Clinton's hate each other as much as need each other and they will before long be turning on each other.

Wring you hands all you want over this poll nonsense. It's all a wasted effort.

You'll only be shown to be the sucker for placing so much credence in what is at this point so meaningless.

FReegards!

Whether she wants to be President or not, Hillary has to run.

She has to camouflage the money she stole from Libya.

I don't disagree with anything you said FRiend but my point is that it is a disgrace Hillary should even be considered a serious political candidate.

I remember when Whitewater was going to be the demise of the Clintons. I can't even keep track of all the scandals from Travel Gate to Benghazi. Besides all the corruption she has made epic gaffes that would make Joe Biden blush.
On top of all that she has a vocal delivery that leads me to believe she has at best some type of neurological disorder or possibly minor brain damage from a stroke.

DOB, the Death of Bill, gives her sympathy and the opportunity to bury Foundation-gate with his body.

"We apologize for Bill's lapses, but after the anesthesia for his quadruple bypass surgery his mind never really was the same."
