Hillary Clinton Is Too Ambitious To Be The First Female President

I think it's about time we had a female president of the United States. I don't care what anyone says: Women can be just as smart and qualified as men—especially the clowns we've had in Washington lately. But Hillary Clinton? She's just a little too ambitious to do what no woman before her has ever done.

...

Sen. Clinton always wants to be throwing her opinion around about this bill or that law. I saw her on Meet The Press just last week. Every time Tim Russert would take her to task on one issue or another, she'd come right back at him with some sort of smart answer. She needs to learn that sometimes you need to just accept your place; it's not polite to always act like you know things. Not to mention the fact that, as a working woman, she should take those precious Sundays to spend some time with her family, not to meet with the press on national television.

politicians and their super delegate votes. Last I knew, buying votes is a fine example of corruption... as is money laundering (See DNC, 33 State Democratic Committees & the Hillary Victory Fund). How do you define corruption?

BTW, stop calling them Center-Right. That is corporatist propaganda. There is nothing 'Center" about the 3rd-Way, they are conservative, period.

Whenever she is challenged or caught up in a very damaging lie or revelation of her destructive actions, she launches into one of her cackles.

Yes, this particular nervous, over-the-top laugh is a 'cackle'.

It is some kind of way for her to try and communicate that the point is not taken seriously by her ... when it is almost always a very damaging point.

Hillary has lots of these kinds of neurotic "tells" ... the too loud cackling laugh; talking too loud (shouting or nearly shouting); her nose up superior look; her eye rolling head toss; etc.

These people are financed by big money. Koch has started their trash on her. This lady sat for 12 hours on Bengazi and won. Ambition or just plain guts. The SCOTUS is going to set agenda for years. Does anyone want back alley abortions as Choice. Think.

28. Democrats would be insane to nominate Bernie Sanders
Thu Apr 7, 2016, 11:01 PM

Dana Milbank has some good comments on general election match up polls https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/democrats-would-be-insane-to-nominate-bernie-sanders/2016/01/26/0590e624-c472-11e5-a4aa-f25866ba0dc6_story.html?hpid=hp_opinions-for-wide-side_opinion-card-a%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Sanders and his supporters boast of polls showing him, on average, matching up slightly better against Trump than Clinton does. But those matchups are misleading: Opponents have been attacking and defining Clinton for a quarter- century, but nobody has really gone to work yet on demonizing Sanders.

Watching Sanders at Monday night’s Democratic presidential forum in Des Moines, I imagined how Trump — or another Republican nominee — would disembowel the relatively unknown Vermonter.


The first questioner from the audience asked Sanders to explain why he embraces the “socialist” label and requested that Sanders define it “so that it doesn’t concern the rest of us citizens.”

Sanders, explaining that much of what he proposes is happening in Scandinavia and Germany (a concept that itself alarms Americans who don’t want to be like socialized Europe), answered vaguely: “Creating a government that works for all of us, not just a handful of people on the top — that’s my definition of democratic socialism.”

But that’s not how Republicans will define socialism — and they’ll have the dictionary on their side. They’ll portray Sanders as one who wants the government to own and control major industries and the means of production and distribution of goods. They’ll say he wants to take away private property. That wouldn’t be fair, but it would be easy. Socialists don’t win national elections in the United States .

Sanders on Monday night also admitted he would seek massive tax increases — “one of the biggest tax hikes in history,” as moderator Chris Cuomo put it — to expand Medicare to all. Sanders, this time making a comparison with Britain and France, allowed that “hypothetically, you’re going to pay $5,000 more in taxes,” and declared, “W e will raise taxes, yes we will.” He said this would be offset by lower health-insurance premiums and protested that “it’s demagogic to say, oh, you’re paying more in taxes.

Well, yes — and Trump is a demagogue.

Sanders also made clear he would be happy to identify Democrats as the party of big government and of wealth redistribution. When Cuomo said Sanders seemed to be saying he would grow government “bigger than ever,” Sanders didn’t quarrel, saying, “P eople want to criticize me, okay,” and “F ine, if that’s the criticism, I accept it.”

Sanders accepts it, but are Democrats ready to accept ownership of socialism, massive tax increases and a dramatic expansion of government? If so, they will lose.

Match up polls are worthless because these polls do not measure what would happen to Sanders in a general election where Sanders is very vulnerable to negative ads.

and I think this is horse shit of the lowest order.

None of this convinces me that Hillary Clinton would be a better President than Bernie Sanders will be.

It just looks like smearing mustard, ketchup and dog shit on the wall and it is an understatement to correctly identify it as a reverse psychology (poor one, I might add) hit piece.

Is this amateur hour? I wouldn't want Hillary Clinton to lead our nation just based on how out of touch and ridiculous this blatant garbage attack is!

I'd laugh if the fate of our nation wasn't such a serious situation.

I am way left. I'm just not prepared for Rush 2.0, Democratic version.
