In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, loser of the 2016 presidential election Hillary Clinton boasts that "I would've done a better job handling the pandemic than Trump."
"First, if I had been the president when the virus struck there would have been no need to shut down the economy," Clinton asserted. "The only reason for shutting down the economy was to deflate the economic gains in profits and jobs sparked by Trump's tax cuts and deregulation. This unwarranted prosperity would never have happened if I were running the federal government. Dr. Fauci wouldn't have been allowed to issue dire forecasts and the media would not have been actively campaigning for a shutdown."
"Second, there wouldn't have been a hydroxychloroquine sideshow diverting our medical efforts into a dead end therapy," she said. "Trump's endorsement of this unproven medication wasted valuable time that could've been better used to craft a uniform approach to handling the disease. His allowing individual doctors to follow independent treatments fostered inequality of results. Now, people are confused, uncertain, and skeptical of government directives. If I had been president there would have been one voice, one option, and unquestioning obedience rather than the cacophony of argument and dissent that we see today."
"You know, one of the important lessons we have learned from this crisis is that the government has the authority to discern between what is essential and what is not," Clinton added. "The widespread acceptance of this principle among the population shows that we can finally redirect the nation's resources toward activities of importance to the government and collective well-being. If we tell people to stay home, they will stay home. If we tell people to report neighbors who are disobeying, they will report them. The freedom fanatics who said the American people wouldn't abide such intrusions on liberty were finally proven wrong."
In related news, a large-scale study conducted by the Henry Ford Health System and published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases, found that among 2,541 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 those treated with hydroxychloroquine (13% fatalities) were half as likely to die as those who did not receive the drug (26.4% fatalities). Hydroxychloroquine costs $37 for 100 tablets. Strangely, Dr. Anthony Fauci is recommending the unproven alternative Remdesivir at $520 per vial and a six vial course of treatment.

As they did during relief for Haiti after the earthquake, it’s certain the Clintons would have found a way to make money from the pandemic. If that’s what she means by “a better job”, she’s absolutely right.
Surely this is a joke.
“This unwarranted prosperity would never have happened if I were running the federal government.”
Prosperity is unwarranted?
“Trump’s endorsement of this unproven medication wasted valuable time that could’ve been better used to craft a uniform approach to handling the disease.”
He didn’t endorse it. He endorsed the effort to study it for a possible cure. And no one anywhere in the world has come up with a uniform approach to handling the disease other than letting it run its course taking precautions as best you can. (Like leaving New York and their way of thinking) As for time, there are hundreds of thousand of scientist around the world working on the problem. Does she know anyone else that isn’t?
“His allowing individual doctors to follow independent treatments fostered inequality of results.”
No president can order a doctor to not treat a patient. That is considered murder. Furthermore, there is no treatment for C-19 other than rest, antibiotics to stop any bacterial infections to add to the mix, and fluids with fever reducers trying to keep the lungs clear. It is a virus that no one knows how to cure. Hilary doesn’t either.
“If I had been president there would have been one voice, one option, and unquestioning obedience rather than the cacophony of argument and dissent that we see today.”
Doctor Clinton? Okay you can overrule the experience and studies of such organizations as the FDA, AMA, CDC, OSHA, and all the studies and practices that have been accomplished for viruses since your great/great grandparents got here from everyone in the labs at college to major pharma companies. BTW, did you forget the Constitution about state’s rights? You don’t have a one voice capacity. And to get it, you’d have to deploy troops which you can’t legally do to enforce it. Custer ran into that.
“You know, one of the important lessons we have learned from this crisis is that the government has the authority to discern between what is essential and what is not,” Clinton added. “The widespread acceptance of this principle among the population shows that we can finally redirect the nation’s resources toward activities of “importance to the government” and collective well-being.”
Importance to the government? That is self explanatory.
“If we tell people to stay home, they will stay home. If we tell people to report neighbors who are disobeying, they will report them. The freedom fanatics who said the American people wouldn’t abide such intrusions on liberty were finally proven wrong.”
Has she looked outside lately. The people are rebelling all over the place. She needs some medication and a nap. She was in over her head on this when she said, “I would’ve done a better job handling the pandemic than Trump.” After that it was all down hill. She has selectively forgotten Benghazi and the Iran deal. She couldn’t protect an embassy but professes to being able to protect a country with nothing but words. Dirt has a higher IQ.
Her support staff (keepers) needs to get her back into seclusion as she is not helping the DNC or Biden at all. Her stupidity, or Biden’s, is rubbing off on all the liberals making them look even more inept that they previously appeared (if that’s possible).

The appropriate response would be:
‘We’ll never know. You aren’t the President’
It’s SEMI-SATIRE. It says that in the title.
“It says that in the title.”
I find a fine line between semi-satire with her and the possibilities of it actually happening. But it is so easy to have a reader not notice the flag and determine it might have happened is really a possibility. And it just being out there, and being read, could reflect negative on the DNC. And to me, that’s great.
Thanks for the comment.

I think all of this did happen in Hillary’s mind.
“I think all of this did happen in Hillary’s mind.”
And probably some of the morons out there that think she walks on water. Doesn’t make any difference that all of it is bulshovic, people out there that can mail a vote buy into this $kit. The libs have been playing talk-around for years.

ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that reflects negatively on the DNC is great to me, also. And, you're welcome.
