“They” were the hard working,moral,FED UP,fly-over country people she deemed ‘deplorables’. “They” are US. And she- for once in her reprehensible life-was right!
2020 is gonna be turmoil for the Democrats. The DNC desperately wants a Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, or other young candidate of color preferably, but outside the tent is Hillary waiting to crash the party. The Democrats are afraid of her and want her on the sidelines, but she’s not going away! She’s definitely running again!
This is a woman, you'll remember, who prized aides like Sidney Blumenthal who would play to and confirm her conspiratorial fantasies.
This from a Washington Post review of her book, Chasing Hillary.
She contends that sexism played a big role in Clinton’s defeat but also encounters it first-hand among Clinton’s campaign staff....When Chozick zeroes in on Clinton and leaves herself out of it, she can be perceptive, pithy and surprising. On Clinton's apparent disdain for the electoral process: "If there was a single unifying force behind her candidacy, it was her obvious desire to get the whole thing over with." On Clinton's ambition: "Her only clear vision of the presidency seemed to be herself in it."
...
And even on Clinton's proclivities: "For all the lesbian theories, Hillary enjoys nothing more than flirting with a handsome, preferably straight man." (Despite aggressively questioning Clinton about her e-mails, Ed Henry became a favorite: "She would regularly look past her almost entirely female press corps to call on the Fox News correspondent, with his cherub cheeks and Pucci pocket squares.")
...
I've noticed this about some "alpha" women who have queen bee tendencies: They're kinda sexist against other women. Maybe it's that they feel other women are competitors on the specific playing field of Who Is The Queeniest of Queen Bee in a way men are not/cannot be -- men are competing in another division entirely, as in college sports -- but power-seeking women often are fixated on a Lonely Victory -- they want to be the woman in charge. They don't want other women tagging along to share the Female Empowerment Spotlight.
This is fun:
"Chasing Hillary" offers some searing moments surrounding election night, as when the Clinton team's data guru grasps that his Florida models were off (Latino turnout lower than expected, white turnout huge in the Panhandle), then turns to campaign manager Robby Mook and says, they could be wrong everywhere."
I'm at full staff.
Mook eventually delivers the news of impending defeat to Clinton. "I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,” she answers. "They were never going to let me be president."
For those who still say Trump is psychologically unfit to be president, I say: Well, okay, but compared to whom?
The only other candidate in the race who could actually win was a woman with a long history of corruption and conspiracy-thinking, who walked around with a literal Enemies List and actually rated people on that list, from one to seven (if memory serves) as far as how betrayish she felt they were.
The next day, Times reporters consider what they'd missed -- and why. "God, I didn't go to a single Hillary or Trump rally," a colleague of Chozick's admits, "and yet, I wrote with such authority."
You've got your Dunning in my Kruger! Mmm-- two incompetent tastes that taste even more incompetent together!!!
Now come the parts about the sexism of Hillary's male staff, towards women.
Chozik only refers to these Guys by nicknames -- Broan Loafers Guy, Policy Guy. Cutesy stuff like that.
The most "loathsome" is the one she calls "Original Guy," "the longest-serving Svengali and the most-devoted member of Hillary’s court of flattering men."
She later reveals this "loathsome" creature to be Philippe Reines.
They ask if there are any other Times reporters, preferably male, that they could talk to instead of her....The undercurrent of sexism spills over when Chozick and Original Guy spar over whether a prior conversation can go on the record, and he randomly paraphrases a crude line from "Thank You for Smoking," a 2005 film in which a reporter sleeps with a lobbyist for information. "I didn't know I had to say it was off the record when I was inside you," Original Guy smirks. (“"he words hung there," Chozick recalls, "so grossly gynecological.")
Chozick doesn’t name him but later cites a Times story by Maggie Haberman revealing that Original Guy served as the Trump stand-in during Clinton’s debate preparation. "Hmmm, wherever will Hillary find a manipulative, sometimes-charming, often hilarious, possible sociopath," Chozick muses. "I won't out Original Guy here, except to say that his name rhymes with “Philippe Reines."
Odds that Jake Tapper and CNN will give Amy Chozick a full "town hall" to promote her book at: Zero.
They're only interested in promoting some tell-all books.
Because Integrity.
...
The fury is less evident when she mentions the harassing tendencies of Clinton’s spiritual adviser, whom the Clinton reporters nicknamed Hands Across America. "HAA exhibited generally creepy behavior, but seemed more pitiful and effeminate than threatening, which is why I tried to ignore his rubbing up and down my back," Chozick writes. She does not name HAA in the book; more than a year after Trump's inauguration, Chozick co-wrote a Times story about how Clinton kept spiritual adviser Burns Strider on the 2008 campaign despite repeated accusations of harassment by campaign staff.
The Daily Beast has another damning quote -- "Basket of Deplorables" was no off-the-cuff line.Hillary routinely used it as a laugh line in big-money fundraising dinners in swank places like the Hamptons.
That was no slip of the tongue, since "Hillary always broke down Trump supporters into three baskets," Chozick writes.“Basket #1: The Republicans who hated her and would vote Republican no matter who the nominee.
Basket #2: Voters whose jobs and livelihoods had disappeared, or as Hillary said, 'who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens in their lives and their futures.'
Basket #3: The Deplorables. This basket includes 'the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic--you name it.'
"The Deplorables always got a laugh, over living-room chats in the Hamptons, at dinner parties under the stars on Martha’s Vineyard, over passed hors d'oeuvres in Beverly Hills, and during sunset cocktails in Silicon Valley," Chozick continues.
Funny, I don't remember Chozick or anyone else covering Clinton during the campaign reporting that little nugget. It's almost as if they were trying to protect her from herself, and deliberately hiding relevant information from the public they were allegedly helping to make an informed choice.
And speaking of conspiracy theories: Bill Clinton, maybe trying to pay Hillary Clinton back for all the conspiracy theories she dreamed up to save his bacon in 1997, spins out this incredible conspiracy theory about the New York Times trying to get Trump elected.
Why? For money.
"After the election, Bill would spread a more absurd Times conspiracy: The publisher had struck a deal with Trump that we’d destroy Hillary on her emails to help him get elected, if he kept driving traffic and boosting the company's stock price."
References to "They," talk of a Jewish-owned newspaper sabotaging her campaign for sheckels -- these conspiracy theories, like most conspiracy theories, seem to be converging on to an anti-semitic underlying premise.
The book sounds very feminist, very liberal, and still very pro-Hillary, despite her frustrations with Hillary for being a Gigantic Loser.
So I'm not recommending it. Just sharing some quotes.
She believed Satan’s lie when he offered her the presidency in exchange for her soul.
There’s good news and bad news for Hillary.
The good news: “they” were determined you would never be President. Results: you’re not.
The bad news: “they” are going to charge, convict, and put you in prison. Results: We’re only getting started.
We ducked a bullet that time for sure!
Being elected President is not supposed to be a ‘prize’ or personal achievement to make you feel good about yourself and expand your ego. It’s supposed to be about service, and wanting to sacrifice part of your life to do something meaningful. Hillary has had many, many opportunities to do something meaningful, but has done little to nothing that has helped people or made the world a better place. That’s because her motivation is her. It’s all about her. She never, ever, ever deserved to be President.
There are many, many people who have contributed in life much more than her, but whose name few know, and who will never get credit for what they’ve given and done. Fame is fleeting. What you do with your life, how unselfish you are, and what you’ve sacrificed for others and for what you believe in will endure as the legacy of you in this life, and will mean much more in the next than whatever title you held here.
Trump kicked her gigantic @ss in a shocking and humiliating electoral landslide. The most recent poll gave her a 27% approval rating.
Bwah hah hah. Life is good. :0)
The title of the article gets an A+.
True--but the dialogue in that quotation is probably all made up anyway. Everything about the Left seems to be phony. Even their hatred of other people--such as non-Leftists--is kind of hollow, since to have the Leftist state of mind, you have to be in denial of the fact that other people exist.
When you always get your way, you end up a whiner. Any problem along Hillary’s grappling up the greasy pole of power was “dealt with” so she really was quite spoiled. Her life would make a great mafia comedy. The kid that got the higher grade in Social Studies falls off the roof of the school gym and dies. The girl who outran Little Hill in the school race dies of a freak botulin poisoning in the cafeteria. You get used to things kind of “going your way.” When that fun stops, you whine.
America understands why Bill cheated.
They=voters. For once, she’s right.
If I lost a completely rigged election in which the entire media complex, the FBI along with the rest of the DOJ had conspired to hand me the presidency, I’d never show my face in public again. I’d seriously hope people forgot about me as quickly as possible.
I’ve been hearing her whine ever since she first stepped into The White House.
HillaryCare, remember? Clinton Gun Control Act, remember?
Whitewater, remember?
Lastly, calling me every name that could be published, and I’m sure a few that were not, and THEN, coming out and trying to say ‘My bad!, sorry!’.
FYATHYRIO!!
She is truly insane. America dodged a bullet.
The scary thing is that the lineup of future DNC candidates is worse than Clinton.
She wakes up every morning, looks in the mirror, and realizes “I’m not the President.”
Made you smile at the thought, didn’t I?
Me too. Ever’ damn day....
With some of the most powerful forces on Earth conspiring to usher in the great Hillary to her rightful throne,...God said “no”.
