Hillary Clinton calls 2016 the first 'reality TV campaign' (she lost because she was too honest)
Washington Times ^ | November 22, 2017 | Sally Persons

Posted on 11/22/2017 6:25:36 AM PST by Zakeet

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said the 2016 campaign was the first "reality TV campaign," bringing its own unique set of challenges.

"My opponent was the first reality TV candidate, and I was, for better or worse, the candidate of reality," Mrs. Clinton said in an interview that aired Wednesday on "The Hugh Hewitt Show."

She said that running after a two-term president of the same party also brought its challenges in the campaign, adding it was hard to argue she was an agent of change when she supported much of former President Barack Obama's agenda.

"If you are both the candidate defending a lot of the areas of agreement, but also putting forth an agenda for change, which is what I tried to do, it is often difficult to get the second part of that message through," Mrs. Clinton explained.

Heard her on Hannity's radio show yesterday....the woman denies the very words she herself wrote.

Somebody got to her.

No, she lost because in the end, she couldn't refute the charges from the book Clinton Cash. Indeed, the whole email server scandal was closely tied to the shenanigans at the Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative.

President Trump knew what a Clinton campaign would do to win at any cost and she almost pulled it off....President Trump wisely kept his options open.

Hillary doesn't follow the U.S. Constitution
Hillary is mendacious to a fault
Hillary's foreign policy under Obama was pay to play a carryover from her days as Senator
Hillary sold out our country to Russia
She and her boss did more lying about OBL almost encouraging ISIS/al Qaeda to do what they are doing today
Hillary is not healthy mentally or physically...a total wreck is an apt description.

The question is, who does Hillary think she is....she is lawless...criminal....and totally void of American values and she still thinks she should have won????. Her husband is a predator also.

POTUS is all American and surrounds himself with strong Americans rather than the foppish Obama who surrounded himself with Communists and Muslims AND is appears they had a large hand in corrupting both the CIA and FBI.

Can you give me an example?

I still may get the audiobook despite the mental torture of giving this creature an open stage to my attention.

The fact that she agreed to be on Hugh Hewitt’s show says more about Hewitt than it does about her.

She’s not insane. She’s one of those rare people that live in a bubble so long they believe their own chit. She has no problem spouting all this nonsense because she actually believes it. Has her own reality. She really is a victim in her mind.

I keep thinking they have to be done creating excuses, and I keep discovering that I was wrong again. I never would have guessed that Hillary’s problem was being too honest.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

Even McFilthy Mouth has finally said about Kankles, time to move on, “I didn’t write a book about losing.”

That’s amazing for Juan, he almost never criticizes Rats.

It has been widely reported that Clinton wanted to run against Trump. I suspect her electron plan was to make a few campaign stops health permitting. Then trash whomever the eventual Republican candidate turned out to be. If it would have been Jeb, there would have been a dossier about him.

Here’s the entire transcript:

http://www.hughhewitt.com/hillary-rodham-clinton-happened/

I’m almost ashamed to say I listened to the entire interview, here:

http://www.hughhewitt.com/wp-content/uploads/Hillary-Rodham-Clinton.mp3

It really was worth listening to, especially if you haven’t had breakfast yet.

She said “no evidence” three times. It’s one of her favorite comments when asked about something and is something I listen for.

I think Hugh Hewitt did a commendable balancing job with this interview. Since it was about her book, “What Happened,” he was limited in scope.

It’s definitely worth your time to listen to, IMO.

Well, perhaps if Herself WAS less honest, it may have helped the campaign, but it is pretty hard to be less honest than Herself already was.

Remember, 70,000 votes shifted in the right places would have sealed it for Herself. Or at least forced a recount in several races.

And we all know that recounts ALWAYS help the Democrat. Just ask Al Gore about the Florida re-re-count.

I don’t think it’s actually delusion.
Warped view of self importance
She has surrounded herself with sycophants so long she hears nothing else...nothing but positive feedback for her
She has created, and allowed others, to make herself into a person she’s not. So she actually believes everything that comes out of her mouth.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Mrs. Rodham Hubbell Clinton has always been a flake. She and her beard leave a swath of pain and misery in their wake. It's what they do, it's all she knows. She's still doing it.
