Hillary Clinton Makes Pitch for Mandate and a Swing-State Sweep
NY Times ^ | Oct. 21, 2016 | TRIP GABRIEL and ASHLEY PARKER

Hillary Clinton entered the final phase of her campaign on Friday, working to ensure a victory that is decisive enough to earn a mandate for her presidency and a surge of voters to help Democrats win congressional races.

Emerging from a nine-day absence from the trail, Mrs. Clinton seized on the momentum of her performance in the final presidential debate, choosing Ohio — a battleground state where she has struggled the most against Donald J. Trump — as her first stop on a four-day swing. With new polls showing Mrs. Clinton closing in on Mr. Trump in the state, her campaign is glimpsing the opportunity for a clean sweep of traditional swing states.

Oh yeah? Well I say Chief Justice Roberts administers the oath of office with one hand, and immediately after serves impeachment papers on Hillary with the other hand. To that? :)

Hope Huma doesn’t find out ;-)

Hillary is up by by only +4 in their rigged polls and she wants a mandate?

I thought the MSM declared the election over?

It isn’t if Hillary needs to campaign to win.

FWIW, I already voted Trump.

So, Hillary is going to sweep the swing states?

Sounds good to me.

Get her a broom, let her clean the streets as part of a chain-gang.

They know trump will have big numbers & illegals might not cut it so I think they’re relying on Soros machines in majority of states. And they’re right we can’t prove it.

That’s about what I meant. I heard somebody say, if elected Hillary will have the singular distinction of being the first president in history to arrive in office having committed impeachable offenses on day one.

MSM still can’t write about all the wonderful things Hillary would do for the country if she won.

They can’t discuss the issues because that’s not where Americans are.

They have to tear down Trump for her to have any chance.

Judging by the miserable, meager, supporter turnout at her rallies yesterday, Ms. Clinton is going nowhere in Ohio!!! End of story!!! Go Donaldl J. Trump!!!

Rasmussen just gave away the store: only 39% of voters think Hillary being cleared away by the FBI was the correct decision.

They will pull the lever for her no matter what.

Majority of Americans want to see her locked up!

The election is over.

At the Al Smith dinner, Trump got a big laugh for saying that this was the first speech she had ever given to big corporate donors without getting paid for it. The biggest laugh was from Hillary, who revealed a strange thing crawling on her tongue.

Zoom in at the 9:01 mark in this YouTube video of Trump's remarks.

Her mandate to do what specifically? Here’s all I can find that’s different than Trump:
- Higher Federally-imposed minimum wage
- Free community college
- Raised taxes on the wealthy
- Continuation of Obamacare
- Increased migrants; amnesty for current illegals
- No-Fly Zone in Syria leading to war with Russia
- Appoint judges who put the Constitution last

A “mandate”? What is the NYT talking about? If she gets elected, she will be the least effective president ever. This election has been reduced to a personality only contest. No one is voting for Hillary because of her ideas. Besides, she will assuredly be impeached within the first year in office after Congress gets off its ass and starts looking into pay for play, and all the corruption that has been exposed. Look for Trey Gowdy to become a major player in all of this.

You forgot the sarcasm /S. Congress will just waste their time and bloviate. There is no way they will do anything of substance to the first woman president anymore than was done to hold the first half black president to account.

It'll be more of the same smoke and mirrors. Vote for me so to stop Hillary! Spit.

If she wins, they'll be 30 million new Democrat voters by 2020. Last chance to stop the madness is 11/8.

Hell, the grifter Bubba Clinton only received 43% of the popular vote in 1992, yet immediately claimed he won a mandate.

I will be all over my Congressman from Day 1 on this issue. Frankly, I believe that numerous state attorneys general will be seeking criminal charges against the DNC over their conspiratorial efforts to attack and injure people at Trump rallies.

....” I thought she didn’t need to campaign?”.....

Billy Boy isn’t doing so hot as her fill in....lolol.....neither is Biden.....they thought these two could be her surrogate.....IMO Hillary herself is paranoid that they aren’t helping her ....remember this is a woman who thought she should be ahead by 50 points...and believes that.
