Frankenhillary: Bad at almost everything and still winning
The Weekly Standard ^ | 5-1-15 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 05/01/2015 7:57:04 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

As Clinton scandals continue to mount and her credibility plummets, gleeful Republicans are quietly discussing what once seemed impossible: Hillary Clinton might not survive primary season, let alone make it all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue.

That may well turn out to be the case. But it’s not because of the allegations about “Clinton cash” or deleted emails. Those are major political scandals, to be sure, but of a kind that a shameless Bill Clinton skated through easily during his own administration.

The deeper problem is personal. As the veteran Democratic strategist Bob Shrum put it to me, rather forlornly, in an interview for my book, Clinton, Inc., Hillary Clinton simply isn’t a very good candidate. “I’ve seen her and him in rooms, and she doesn’t have the whirr,” said Shrum, who worked on the failed Al Gore and John Kerry campaigns. “Your eyes aren’t constantly drawn to her the way they are to him.”

To the contrary, one’s eyes are drawn away. The Hillary campaign is like a movie you decide halfway through that you didn’t really want to see in the first place.

As a candidate, she is the Democrats’ Frankenstein creature​—​a patched-together amalgam of all the worst traits of recent presidential campaigns and virtually none of their more winning attributes. Examples abound.

She is just a bag laddie for the world bank, FED, or new world order, who ever has the most money to offer her.

People who will vote for democrats don’t care how bad the politician is as long as they can be counted on to further the cuase. That is why they never have problems electing liars, cheats, even murderers. Hillary is next up to carry the torch for evil, until someone more effective comes along.

How can such a universally despised person make it so far in life? Even her supporters really don’t like her as a person. They just support her as a means to an end.

It's all true.

1. Failed lawyer. Fired from the Watergate Investigation.
2. Failed First Lady of Arkansas. Rose Law Firm corruption.
3. Failed First Lady of the United States. Hateful, violent, insulting and imperious.
4. Failed Senator. Accomplished exactly nothing during her term.
5. Fail Secretary of State. Laughable "reset" with Putin. Benghazi. America's image worldwide in freefall.

The only chance Hillary! has of being elected is if the RNC does as expected and nominates another Democrat in an R jersey like Jebster.

With the culture we have today this is absolutely no surprise - none, nada, zip.

She has the personality of a cookie sheet of spit in the middle of a dance floor, except it’s alive and sliding around.

It’s not scandals, those are ethical lapses....though there have certainly been those too.......

Hillary’s problem is that she’s been caught in criminal/treasonable activities.....
