LOL! Yep, that’s the outfit! I’d seen it in a meme side-by-side with a similarly patterned oven mitt. I hadn’t seen the hunting blind. That’s so funny!

Thanks for posting!

LMAO. I would say that looks like a Halloween costume, but I can’t even guess what she’d be dressing up as.

I believe that her doofus wardrobe played a small part in setting her up for the election loss.
Only a small part but that is all it took.

Here is my reasoning:

It is apparent that her unusual and goofy wardrobe is custom tailored to hide or disguise something.
Not only does it create a bad visual image but it creates curiosity as to why she would dress in such a manner.

We, the public can only guess, but we aren't stupid.
Her tent-like smocks are almost certainly related to a medical issue or physical condition.

Yet she and her PR staff kept up the pretense that she had no major medical issues.
But putting it together the public figured out she was lying again: the wardrobe, the tripping, falling and fainting,
the Dr. in constant attendance, the disappearance from campaigning for days on end all lead to the same conclusion.

So her denial just adds to the existing widespread view that she is a liar and deceitful as well as hiding something important.

I think it is likely she would have come out ahead by being more transparent.
The public would be more sympathetic to her if she was truthful about her condition than hearing her tell another blatant and obvious lie.

But it worked out nicely that while dodging accountability for her big lies she torpedoed herself with little lies.

I agree with you. Yeah, that footage of her going down like a deflated air mattress on 9/11/16 was very damaging, I think. But then she emerged all fresh and lovely just a little while later from Chelsea’s apartment...that just caused speculation that she had a body double, which, in turn, inspired countless memes depicting her as a bed-ridden senior citizen and the like.

And yes, her odd, frumpy wardrobe did nothing to help her. She could have had anything custom made, so why go with smocks and “psych ward wear”? She just succeeded in highlighting her age and lack of physical fitness.

Terrible candidate! It’s amazing she got even as many votes as she did.

She may have counted on fake votes; but I think she really believed that she somehow deserved the Presidency, despite never having truly accomplished anything in life except for riding the coattails of a ‘husband’.

Indeed; yet I find it disturbing that she got as many votes as she did. She has zero charisma nor likability, hardly campaigned and when she did she was totally uninspiring, had sparse crowd attendances, is corrupt as hell and with all that baggage!! The only reasons I figure she got all those votes is that just about any D will get a huge floor of votes no matter how uncharismatic and/or crooked they are, she had the media going all out protecting and promoting her while against Trump, voter fraud, and she vastly outspent and out staffed Trump. Some voters likely were wary of his inexperience and “instability” that Hillary, the dems, the media and GOP establishment kept harping about.

Hillary only wins when the path is cleared for her and in a liberal state...but as her contests with Obama and Trump showed, when she has to compete and with contenders who are willing and able to fight for the victory, she has a difficult time and is unable to prevail, 0-2. The she lost *both* times to political greenhorns shows what a vulnerable national candidate she is, and the fact she also had a huge scare from a then barely-known Bernie Sanders, who wasn't even a democrat, reinforces how weak she was and is.

If this "nasty woman" runs yet a *3rd time* for the nomination in 2020, she's even more horrifyingly power-crazy than any person should be! And the dems would be deranged if they nominated such a proven toxic, divisive candidate *again*!

Good points, but in a fair Democratic primary, I suspect that Sanders did more than just give her a scare. That primary was rigged for Clinton, and I suspect she probably would have lost to Sanders without her superdelegate support and media allies.

Haven’t read all the comments...

I will buy the book on Amazon so I will have the authority to review it on Amazon. I like the line where Batman comes and takes her to prison at the end of the book.

The Democratantrums show that a huge percentage of women really did identify with and believed in a crooked screeching harridan. This to me is one of the most frightening aspects of the 2016 elections.

Oh most definitely Hillary/the DNC screwed over Bernie and stole the nomination; there were numerous shenanigans than occurred with the caucuses and primaries; "accidental" voting role purges; and the super delegates locked in advance so Bernie would never stand a chance...good thing the GOP doesn't have such a thing in place otherwise the Republican stablishment would've used it to deny Trump.

In addition, Bernie didn't get near the coverage he should've gotten as the media was trying to minimize and marginalized him--of course they were forced to give him some attention eventually due to the massive groundswell and crowds he was getting; "BernieBros", "Berniebots" and "BernieOrBusters" were portrayed as sexist and/or losers; Bernie would be shown in unflattering photos whereas the media chose flattering pics of Hillary...this just off the top of my head as I know I'm overlooking some other stuff.

Anyhow, even though I was happy Hillary got the nomination, it would've been fascinating to have had a Trump-Sanders race. Bernie would've been an opponent worthy of Trump; they were the counterparts of each other on the left and right. Some people think that Trump would've trounced Bernie but I'm not confident about that at all, which is why it's good Hillary was our opponent.
