Dear Hillary... (barf alert)
The Week ^ | 5/11/2016 | Damon Linker

Posted on 05/11/2016 6:59:31 AM PDT by simpson96

Dear Hillary,

I have to admit, you have me worried. And for more than just the usual reasons.

In the week since it became clear you would be facing Donald Trump in the general election, I've sensed giddy delight coming from your camp.

Believe me, I get it.

Trump has incredibly high unfavorable ratings. Women hate him, as do Hispanic voters.(snip)

For starters, I hate to break it to you, but you're not especially popular either. Sure, Trump's unfavorables are higher than yours — but yours are pretty damn high! And it's not like those numbers are likely to move very much. You've been a fixture on the political scene for close to a quarter century now. And those young people who know the least about you have been Bernie Sanders' most passionate supporters in the primaries. That might not prove fatal in the general election, but it's not exactly good either.

And then there's Trump.

(snip)

Don't try to define Trump, whether by labeling him "dangerous" or anything else. He's a master of rhetorical jujitsu, instantly turning criticisms and insults into honorifics. Let Trump define himself. Of course he'll try to define you, too — as "Crooked Hillary," among other things — but your self-definition needs to prevail over the one he tries to pin on you. If it doesn't, you'll lose.

Most crucially, you need to show voters by your words and actions that you're everything Trump is not: sober, smart, informed, sensible, level-headed, presidential.(snip)

If I'm wrong, your bid for the presidency is doomed — and so, perhaps, is the country.

Sincerely yours,

A concerned anti-Republican

This guy is applying traditional campaign strategies...which obviously haven’t works against Trump so far.

Hillary’s best chance is a fleet of vans and crates of cigarettes on election day.

In other words be sincere even if you have to fake it.

Dear Hillary,

Run! Run hard! Run like you never have before!!!

Why?

I want to see you drop, right there on camera, right there in the debate, on the stage floor, live, given to Caesarian fits and convulsions, frothiing at the mouth, demonstrating your true unworthiness by medical incompetence, for the whole world to see, and for those to have access to the video on ALL the social networks, to play, over, and over, and over, and over ad nauseum.

Hillary, just by setting up her private email server which any two-bit person can easily hacked into, showed herself equal to stupidity, negligence, incompetence and/or treason.

Good luck with the faked personality of a warm fuzzy grandma who is smart, sensible, yada yada yada everybody knows she’s not.

Democrats may not care, but normal Americans do, so do others around the world.

I think the Democrats are so arrogant that they believe Hillary is destined to win and they believe that Trump is looked at as a clown.

Her inner circle is not interested in advice, nor do they care much about polls. You can tell that they don't seem to care about Bernie Sanders, even though he keeps winning.

This could be because they know they don't need to actually win the popular vote to get the nomination. Still, I think Hillary and the Democratic Party is so far left that they don't even have a plan to be more moderate.

”Who Hired Craig Livingstone” is - officially, at least - unknown, and an open question. But one thing is for sure: whoever did it was: Since the hiring of Livingstone occured on Bill Clinton’s watch, he is responsible for the fact that Livingstone was hired. But since Bill Clinton neither accepted responsibility for that nor punished anyone for it - and did not even admit to having fired Livingstone, only stating that Livingstone “was fired” (note the unspecific passive voice), everyone in the Clinton White House is presumably responsible for hiring Craig Livingstone absent proof to the contrary.

There is no proof that Hillary did not hire Craig Livingstone, and any evidence such as her “private” (private, ironically, more against the legal interests of the US public than against foreign intelligence services) server increases the presumption that

Hillary Clinton Hired Craig Livingstone.

Thanks for the tip. I went looking, and dug out some old files, really interesting stuff.

THE REAL HILLARY CLINTON: Episode 29 - Filegate; Who Hired Craig Livingstone

Looks like I'll be busy reading and following up on all these threads for a while.
