Hillary Clinton Operatives Bracing For “Clinton Collapse”
DC Whispers ^ | July 24, 2015

Posted on 07/26/2015 5:37:18 AM PDT by Zakeet

Earlier, D.C. Whispers reported on federal investigators’ request to initiate a full on CRIMINAL investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal due, at least in part, to Mrs. Clinton’s alleged and purposeful destruction of classified material she kept on a private email server. Apparently this development is but one of several now plaguing a Hillary Clinton campaign that has a candidate who often appears “lost, confused, tired, and angry.”

The term “Clinton Collapse” is apparently an increasingly common one these days for those whose job it is to continue insulating their candidate from media scrutiny and try and push Mrs. Clinton across the eventual finish line that is the Democratic Party nomination – no easy task given Clinton herself appears increasingly unstable, politically speaking.

…This past week saw campaign operatives trying to figure out how to break the news to candidate Clinton regarding her sudden drop in several battleground states that show her losing by wide margins to potential rivals like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker. When that news was finally delivered, Hillary Clinton is said to have initially brushed it off.

Mere hours later she proceeded to lash out her handlers, and then went on to blame what she perceives to be “unfair media coverage.”

[Snip]

A D.C. Whispers source had this to say regarding Mrs. Clinton’s view of the modern media:

“She doesn’t understand how it works. She still thinks the New York Times is the end-all, be-all regarding media coverage and because they (the Clinton Machine) pretty much control how the Times covers them, she feels she controls her own media destiny and when that doesn’t happen, it infuriates her. She gets very angry very quickly and it’s a particularly aggressive kind of nasty on her part.”

Candidate Clinton’s mood swings have become so erratic even those closest to her campaign are said to be hoping for the best while preparing for what some perceive to be the inevitable worst.

“They know this entire campaign could collapse in a matter of days. Hillary Clinton is not her husband. She’s someone who doesn’t enjoy the work of a long political campaign. She doesn’t trust the process. Actually it goes beyond that – she hates the process. Truth be told, she hates people. Bill enjoyed pressing the flesh. Ok, not the best phrase when applied to him, but he was in his element out there in the midst of the unwashed masses. Hillary on the other hand, she gets this look in her eyes that isn’t so much about pressing the flesh, but wanting to burn it.”

The Hillary campaign is setting about trying to match the fundraising pace of Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 outings. They have publicly indicated their desire to raise at least 100 million dollars by the end of 2015. That remarkable figure is not merely about bragging rights though, but rather out of absolute necessity.

“There won’t be nearly as much free and positive press for Hillary Clinton as there was for Barack Obama. They all know that. It’s going to take a lot of money to build and maintain her image over the next several months. She’s not a low maintenance, lipstick and rouge candidate. Hillary Clinton requires major renovations that come up often and that takes serious cash to keep going. Her campaign will be on edge and in crisis mode much more often than is normal. That will be a huge burden on all those around her, and it seems is already causing Hillary to show some premature wear and tear already as well.”

She can not take the pressure and will explode

Just wait until she goes off on "those FJBs" in the media and on Team Obama.

“I saw her on TV this morning and those large bags under her eyes tells me she may have an evening drinking problem.”

You can read the entire article as an attempt to say, “drinking problem” without coming right out and using those exact words.

Two things:

1. DNC speaks to empty College Democrat event http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6693

Emphasizing the importance of Millennial voters in upcoming elections, progressive activists spoke to a nearly empty auditorium at the College Democrats of America annual conference on Friday.

Despite offering a full day of activities, speakers like Julian Castro, and campaigning advice from top political operatives, the College Democrats of America were barely able to fill the first couple rows with young attendees.

2. I saw a video where someone took a large board with pictures of 4 mansions on it (all were Hillary Clinton’s, either owned or rented) to college campuses. He had the names of the main candidates on the board that could be attached to the mansions. When he ashed the “young skulls full of mush” which candidate belonged with which mansion, they picked everybody but Hillary. When he told them that all were Hillary (aka “Hillionaire”), the kids were shocked, couldn’t believe it .... she’s “rich” after claiming to be a woman of the people. They were saying it affected the way they thought of her & would make them possibly reconsider voting for her.

***************************************************

I don’t think Hillionaire is going to get the ‘young’ vote, certainly not the way Obama did. He was ‘hip’ & ‘cool’ to vote for ... Hillionaire merely has a vagina & that will appeal to some of the feminist types, but not the youth in general. Actually, due to not being a politician by trade and name recognition from his TV shows, I think Trump might have the advantage. The empty auditorium is a big sign that Hillionaire just isn’t cutting it with the young - even Donna Brazile (a speaker there) said she “didn’t have a candidate yet”.

“Elections only matter if they are honest. I’m very concerned it’s not even close anymore”

Sure there is some vote fraud, as wide spread as you suggest? I’m not 100% sold. Why would Odinga allow the RATS to get curbed stomped in 2014? I doubt he did it to curb his own power. His legacy would wear a lot better if he was getting his policies through via a RAT a controlled congress and not executive action which is limiting and easy to eliminate by a wave of a pen by a new President.

O’Malley will be the Democrat nominee

If he is, then he will face a 24/7 replay of his pitiful apology for saying that "All lives matter."

I don’t think Hillary will make it the WH either but you know that her loyal supporters will turn to Elizabeth Warren when she falls out.

>>> IOW, people are seeing the real Hillary -

Hillary’s mystique is the media and liberal cocoon, mere mortals shouldn’t ever question why she’s the world’s smartest woman, for example. In her own words, “People SHOULD and DO trust her”, there! As far as she’s concerned, that’s the end of the story, she just wishes to end the whole process and be crowned the president already.

As you say, the new generation of young voters compare her inevitability and her accomplishments, and there’s nothing there. And this ‘nothing there’ is very different from Obama’s ‘nothing there’.

Hopefully, some of these encounters between Hillary and her staff will be preserved on video. If so, instead of "Hitler Finds Out...", we may see a whole series of "Hillary Finds Out...." videos showing up on You Tube.

The simple answer is you are talking about mid term elections within each state not one national election. Since obama has concentrated the power in the executive branch, the mid terms and congress in general are quickly becoming irrelevant.

I expect her to feign a serious illness within weeks. They can’t prosecute a sick woman after all!

Dem Strategist on FoxNews this morning:

‘the email scandal is NOT hurting Hillary’s numbers.’

[Talk about having one’s head buried in the sand!]

==

Of course Hillary will be rounding up the strategists to figure out how to get of the email mess.

Hillary’s problem is that she is not BJ. BJ, a.k.a., [double double entendre] Slick Willie, is still likeable. Hillary is not.

Even her new slow-talking-to-a-kindergartner speech patterns are not working. Many commentators say her speeches are bland, only giving lip service to topics. She is basically not offering anything new or different or exciting or interesting.

One commentator on FoxNews this morning was chuckling at Hillary giving a speech on economics:

‘She hasn’t had to balance a checkbook since Carter was president, so what does she think she knows about the economy?’
