I keep seeing her mug on the interminable silent news shows on my work TVs. And the banner on the Clinton News Network: "Excuses Tour" (ouch). I'll admit I could perhaps form an answer by simply reading more, but I have a visceral distaste for reading articles about Clinton. She's on a tour saying she accepts responsibility for whatever mistakes but that it was Comey's fault she lost. I don't care about the loss, but I wonder what's her objective in getting back into the headlines, and how does a post-mortem on her loss (and deflecting blame) help accomplish that objective? It seems to me like she's a singularly bad spokesperson for what went wrong in the 2016 election. Is that not obvious to her?
She won the popular vote. She is mostly liked by Democrats. The Democratic Party lacks national leaders. There are probably quite a few Trump voters wanting a do-over now after trumps' first 100 days. She is not running for office again. I do not see a downside for being a national spokesperson for the Democratic party. BTW, I strongly suspect that Hilary can give an hour speech, covering a whole range of topics, and the lead story would be the one mention she gave of the 2016 election. Incompetent MSM is incompetent.
It's refreshing to get her actually being candid and honest about what she believes rather than her normal speaking in circles or over explaining in order to be PC as hell because she cares about being picked apart(formerly one of her bigger flaws). I don't disagree with her on many of her points here (although of course she is blamed for being a crappy candidate with baggage), and to hell with the people who think she owes them her humility. She certainly doesn't owe the GOP her humility. If Hillary owes America her undying humility than what does Trump owe us since he's actually a public servant being paid off of our tax dollars?? That all being said I wish she either would stop doing public appearances or would stop being covered like she's the voice of liberals around the globe. The world needs to hear more from the likes of the Kamala Harris', Jason Kander, Corey Bookers, etc. The Democrats need to come up with some serious strategy to get the media to cover those guys more and get CNN/Fox etc to stop covering every damn thing Hillary says and wrestling over it with right wingers for days. The biggest flaw the Dems have going into 2018 and 20 is they are covered like everyone in the party lives in an old folks home and it's the same 5 or 6 people you've known and the GOP has hated for years.
Especially since it gives Fox news and talk radio producers something to talk about since they can't talk about failed tax, healthcare, immigration programs and anything to do with Russia and Trump...
Sadly, I don't think this could be further from the truth. There is another bbs that I troll that is based in Kingwood and 95% Trump supporters. There is a 6 page thread talking about how proud they are of him for dropping out of the climate agreement. They think the Russia stuff is just fake news and they're just happy that Trump is pissing people off. As if that's what a President is supposed to do.
And it was the right who was accused of bringing her up and not letting go of the election even though CNN and other sites kept talking about her daily. No, I still dont want Hillary over Trump. Trump is accomplishing very little which his fine by me. If you're going to ask me to pick between two shitty candidates, I will go with the one who will accomplish nothing. I honestly dont care what Hillarys motives are. She is old and she is washed up. She lost to friggen Trump, who was no better and no worse than before the election. Everyone needs to distance themselves from her. To continue to support her only shows how backwards people are. There are much much better candidates out there. Get her off news once and for all.
All during the election I kept hearing about choosing "the lesser of two evils". You're one sentence sums it up much better. (I didn't vote for either, but I am also disappointed in my write-in candidate)
I think it's high time that all Democrats take off the kid gloves and mercilessly ream and ridicule this ill-equipped, incompetent buffoon. Once they take off the kid gloves they can give them to the buffoon since they fit his hands so well. They need to covfefe the covfefe out of that covfefer.
Duly noted on MSM. But really, is this her objective? To provide the party national leadership? I mean, I agree she's qualified -- truly national in reputation, garnered many votes, smart, experienced, poised (I don't at all buy the crappy candidate theory) -- but I also think she r****ds the development of the party by continuing to be in leadership. Despite her qualifications, she's also severely handicapped by a 20-year defamation campaign, an association with 2 electoral failures, and sadly old age. She might be wanting to make sure to shape the future of the party to her vision, but as long as she keeps sucking all the oxygen out of a room, the party isn't going to be able to make progress toward a post-Clinton era.
I'm thinking about Obama voters who voted for Trump. I am thinking about out of work coal miners who still don't have work (with few prospects) and who are scared that the Republicans are going to take their Medicaid away.
I see a big downside. The Dems need to flush Hillary. New blood is needed badly. Hillary is not doing the Dems any favors by complaining about the DNC either. She just needs to fade away. Pronto. Hillary as national spokesperson? The Dems can do better.
Basically she can't accept that she was such a terrible candidate that she lost to Donald F'n Trump and is going on an "excuses tour" in order to try and spin things in the hopes that she can rehab her image. Of course, she'd be doing Democrats a favor if she just went away or if she actually accepted blame for losing the election due to her own stupid actions and stop blaming others but that's too much to expect from her. She continues to prove why she's such a garbage politician that she can't even beat Donald Trump.
Not everyone will make a good leader, people should know their limitations, something Trump obviously does not know. If she does not think she is the right leader for Democrat party, they need to look elsewhere.
I don't disagree. Democrats should embrace their diversity but they need a leader or at least a messenger
I do wish she would go away, since she's the only person on the planet that seems capable of getting people to prefer Trump to another human being, but that tweet was pretty funny.
Aww how cute. Clinton is getting into the twitter insults too. Have we ever had two politicians who continuously try to vie for the most shitty candidate long past the election?
