Hillary, the Loser
American Thinker ^ | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 04/30/2015 5:00:38 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Hillary has already lost one presidential campaign.

This fact was stuffed down the memory hole so fast that it took a large number of political commentators along with it. How else do we explain how, in all the discussions of the upcoming elections, it has simply failed to come up? Nobody talks about it. It’s as if it didn’t happen.

It’s a rule in American politics that a major figure who blows one presidential campaign has little hope for a second act. But like all other rules, this one goes by the board when the name “Clinton” is involved.

This is particularly true in light of the way she lost. She didn’t simply lose the nomination, or the general election. She lost in one of the most ignominious ways possible: a pure dark horse appeared out of left field (metaphors have a life of their own, don’t they?) blew straight past her, and relegated her to an unimpressive second by the time the convention rolled around. For any other politician, that would be the end of the road. For Hillary, it’s one more thing to paper over and ignore.

Looked at from this viewpoint, Hillary pretty clearly fails as a viable candidate -- which is one reason why the fact has been buried by our honest media. If we were to make a closer examination, we might learn a little too much about Hillary and her actual chances. Close study of 2008 would pay great dividends, which is why the Dems and the media today are oohing and ahhing at Photoshopped pictures of Chelsea instead.

“...blew straight past her, and relegated her to an unimpressive second by the time the convention rolled around...”

Though I really hate “O” I do love the way Evita was defeated by a person and a crowd JUST as underhanded and criminal as SHE and her ‘husband’ have always been.

I guess Evita's MO JO didn't work like “O’s”:)

She needs to spread around more money and make more promises... So it continues... America is on the fast track to more and more corruption, treason and servitude.

Hillary didn’t simply lose the 2008 nomination. She lost b/c a pure dark horse appeared out of left field, blew straight past her, and relegated her to an unimpressive second.

To be fair, deals were made that sidelined Hillary.

For starters, she and Bill had pics of Obama in Muslim attire....but Uncle Teddy warned them not to use them.

Then Teddy and Caroline made a big show of endorsing Barack (and stabbing Hillary in the back in the process---just another Dem done deal.

The Clintons knew it was time to throw in the towel.

Then Obama made a late-night call on the Clintons..... was probably there that she was promised that Secy of State job if she stopped fighting him.

To be clear, Hillary got more primary votes than Obama, but Democrats were smart enough to discount her votes from likely Republican states and Democrat ‘Superdelegates’ ditched her.

Unless she actually gets the Dim nomination - then, the Left will do what it does so well (and we couldn't do if our Freedom depended upon it) and coalesce into a solid voting block to do everything to get their candidate elected.....

The Clinton Global Initiative is going to bring Hillary down so far that she may hide in her New York home the rest of her life. And it looks like the Clinton loving press has only uncovered 10% of the bad stuff. I believe the worst is yet to come

It does!
I would even go so far to say that it did already in 2008 an 2012.

Exactly - it depended on it over the last 50-60 years yet we keep sitting back with fingers crossed and hoping for it to magically turn around. Our side is really good at pointing fingers at the atrocities and making a lot of noise and really lazy when it comes to actual action.

I just love these political writers that repeat conventional wisdom and believe themselves brilliant for doing so.

Hillary is an attorney.

She’s not very good at it but she’s an attorney and she depends on idiots using/repeating conventional wisdom to get away with what she’s doing.

Hillary is now the loser with Bernie Sanders running to the left of her. Now she won't be able to pivot to the center (which is required of all the hard leftists). Like Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton, maybe Bernie will suck the votes away from Hillary or whomever the hard leftist Democrats put forth.

Bwwah Ha Ha!

One could always discuss the actual numbers, but in principle we are agreeing. And one thing is for sure - this year and the next year the best must not be the enemy of the least worst.

A conservative would like to see Sen Cruz, or Gov Walker (or Gov. Palin!) as the GOP nominee, but even if worse comes to worse and Bush Jr is the nominee, it is just not excusable to sit on ones hands and let Hillary or any of the candidates even further to the left win in 2016.

Hillary will run 3rd party and there will probably be a 4th, right of center, party running.

You and I are in perfect agreement - I will not let the Left's candidate run unopposed even if I have to "vote against" that candidate. Some think that "principle" dictates that we shoot ourselves in the head to "teach the establishment a lesson". Then they mock those who vote for the evil ones....

We will both get flamed in 3 - 2 - 1 .......

PS - let's hope and pray that one of the three you mentioned are our actual candidate - there's enough who already despise Cruz because they let their emotions rule their brains and think he would sell us down the river with H1-B increases - they are microcosms of blindered emotions running wild and trying to ensure another 8 years of a Dim in the WH so they can continue to pontificate how it's all someone else's fault - great shades of "blame Bush" that they also mock when the other side does it.

Here is the thing. The same commies who Hillary flirted with in the 70’s stayed in Chicago and invented Obama. They knew that a black had a better chance of being President than a woman and that juncture in history.

Plus, women who aren’t lesbians or radical fembots can’t stand Hillary. The powers that be needed 8 years to bury Hillary’s past and create a new persona.

Fortunately it didn’t work.

hillary clintoon has been a loser since birth. That explains her anger, narcisisism, absence of conscience, abject/chronic dishonesty, criminality, self-centeredness, confusion and so forth. She is one sick puppy. Being committed would be the best thing for her. Imprisonment for her crimes would be the best for society.

As a proponent of killing babies in the womb, the Pantsuit has Lucifer pulling for her. As always, the media is glad to help Lucifer do his work. After all, as the Pantsuit’s hero Saul Alinsky, wrote, Lucifer was “the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom.” What could seem cooler than that to an empty-skulled media type?

Yup, and Richard Nixon. And if we omit actualy winning the general, teher are numerous second and third acts: William Jennings Bryan, John McCain, Bob Dole, for instance.

Not at all true historically. Recently, just being a 'celebrity' enables one to rake in a fortune, so high profile pols are tempted just to take the money and run.
