Hillary Clinton is the most miscast figure on the 2016 political stage
WP ^ | 4 Jan 16 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 01/05/2016 5:22:47 AM PST by elhombrelibre

With all the noise and bluster coming from the Republican campaign, suggesting dysfunction among the Republican candidates, the fact is, Hillary Clinton is the most miscast character in the 2016 race. This is shaping up to be a change election, and nothing about a Clinton candidacy offers change. Period.

While Republicans are engaged in a noisy, boisterous process that is at the very least compelling to watch, the Democrats appear to be letting Clinton sleepwalk them into the doldrums of a campaign that will not be able to channel the emotions of the electorate. Her campaign will only feed the malaise that many voters feel and won’t do anything to create the enthusiastic wave to turn out Democrats in the numbers she will need to repeat President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 victories.

The last time she wore that pants suit, people kept trying to hail her down, thinking she was a cab.

Bill Clinton’s Loving Wife

By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton

If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary’s background, beware as I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone. I offer a few corrections:

Bill says: “In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor.”

Facts are: Hillary’s main extra-curricular activity in ‘Law School’ was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a ‘Federal Agent.’ She went to Court every day as part of a Law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

Bill says: “Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a Children’s rights project for poor kids.”

Facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.

Bill says: “Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers.”

Facts are: She flunked the D.C. bar exam, ‘Yes’, flunked it, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas, ‘None’, and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill

became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says: “President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its Chairman.”

Facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill’s support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter’s choice to be chairman.

Bill says: “She served on the board of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital.”

Facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

Bill says: “Hillary didn’t succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance.”

Facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals’ tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

Bill says: “Hillary was the face of America all over the World.” (LOL)

Facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

Bill says: “Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for Children’s and Women’s issues.”

Facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico. A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer’s or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire N.Y. delegation. Presently she is trying to

have the US memorialize Woodstock.

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton. She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our Country (that’s you and me) when it comes to the ‘War on Terror’.

1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system.

2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA.

3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.

4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.

5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.

One cannot think of a single ‘Bill’, Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our Country in the ‘War on Terror’. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.

Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong. Think about it - he’s (Dick Morris) said all of this openly, thus if he were not truthful he’d be liable for ‘Defamation of Character’ !

And you better believe Hillary would sue him.

Her winning in 2016 means the final death knell for America! Her whole public life has been a LIE.

By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton

“Bill Clinton, is about the same age as Trump and he looks like an geezer.”........

I read somewhere that Billy Bob is supposedly “suffering” from venereal disease (?) and Hitlary is an alcoholic (?), what the hell could possibly go wrong? Having both of them reoccupying the WH would be another disaster. The American people need to open their eyes.

Watched Morning Joe today and as usual all the swells around the table have not yet awakened to the fact that their paradigm has shifted. People hate Washington and the democrat press. People no longer take what the democrat press writes as gospel or even relevant. People deeply mistrust anyone from the Washington cartel.

You know how to find out what’s really going on in North Korea? Read the foreign papers, not the North Korean papers. Doesn’t it seem like more and more that’s how you find out what’s going on in Washington?

Hillary will win (they think) because she is so relentlessly likable. She’s just sooooo adorable.

I know, right? She really looks like a Bond villain when she wears those awful things.

Hillary Clinton is the most miscast character in the 2016 race

Here is how she should have been cast instead:

Evil will rot your soul inside and out. It’s a wonder they look half as human as they do. Despicable trash.

Please don’t insult the Wicked Witch of the West.

Unlike Hillary, WWOW was good at her chosen profession, maintained her own army and air force, and held an entire city & the Land of Oz in fear.

So it was ironic that WWOW would get taken out by a kid with a bucket of water (would it work on Hillary?)

;^)

"I’ve adopted a New Year’s resolution. I’m going to let him live in his alternate reality and I’m not going to respond.”

Was this directed at Bill ('I did not have sex with that woman') or The Donald (speaking truth to a crime family matriarch)?

(btw..... intelligent Rats know that anyone following Obama will lose.)

Which is why they are now preparing for Plan X: hold everything together until 2017, and then let the SHTF, blame everything on President Trump or Cruz, and then bring in The Ultimate Transformer--if President Trump it will be Julian Castro or some other Latino/a, if President Cruz it will be Kirsten Gillibrand, or some other younger-than-Hillary woman.

That’s the moment when the mask came off the McInsane campaign and was exposed as a fraud designed to allow Comrade Obamatollah to win.

Looks like she’s on her way to an Oklahoma State football game.

Author used a poor choice of words:

“Arguably, Republicans could do their part by nominating a candidate who will be hard to swallow.”

Hillary doesn’t swallow!

Of course, Mr. Rogers Hillary is miscast. She shouldn’t even be out there running she should be sitting in jail.
