Hillary Clinton is Done

[Grizzly Bear]

No replacing needed, they've both practically always existed; two of the many faces of prejudice and discrimination.

No, I mean it'll be the next put down to critics if/when Hillary wins the election. Not that they have never existed

 

[Dog Town]

I would pay real money to hear Hillary react to this news.

I feel sorry for the lowest person on the payroll! She is famous for being a BITCH! It's only going to get worse!

 

[The Big Dog]

“I don’t think voters are interested in the transcripts of her speeches (to Goldman Sachs),” one of Hillary's spokesmen said.

That right there sums up Hillary's contempt for voters

It's a card that she's consistently played (win or lose) throughout her career, why should it be any different now?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Sexism will be the new race card i suppose

You know some of the Obama hatred syndrome is affected by racism and if you don't think sexism affects how some people perceive Clinton you have blinders on.

That doesn't mean sexism or racism explain everything, of course they don't. But Clinton is clearly being held to a different standard that many men in the same situation have not been held to, and all of it is not just the constant attacks on her.

Prove it. Prove Clinton hasn't been held to a different standard.

The HilLIARy corps use it the most! It's always the entourage that cries the loudest. Especially the one that posts here. Time to get a whaambulance emoticon, or smilie!

I agree she has been held to a different standard. It just happens to be a lower one.

You know, I was actually a little sympathetic to the argument that she was "schlonged" in the 2008 primary by Barack Obama. I mean, Obama never struck me as a particularly charismatic candidate, so it was somewhat surprising to me that he could come out of nowhere, with no experience, to beat somebody of her political stature. I thought that sexism might have played a role, especially given all of the sexist language used on MSNBC by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

But now, watching her blowing up again, and against a 74 year old socialist Jew who sounds like a guy trying to return soup at a deli, I have to say that her problem is just that she is a terrible, terrible politician. She has absolutely no charisma, no warmth, no credibility, and a sense of entitlement that makes a Saudi prince look like Mother Theresa.

THIS!
I've been thinking the same thing lately.
It's just her, HilLIARy!

Sure, sexism is a factor. But let's just note here that there are no men "in the same situation," running for President as the spouse of a former President. Everything that Hillary is is the result of her marriage to Bill -- and probably vice versa. Could a nobody have been elected to the U.S. Senate from New York literally months after moving to the state for the first time? If Hillary is held to a different standard, it's because she is in a different -- actually, unique -- situation.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

...Everything that Hillary is is the result of her marriage to Bill -- ..

No sexism there, certainly not.

 

[Bob001]

No sexism there, certainly not.

Okay, I'll bite: What were her personal accomplishments before 2000 that qualified her to run for Senate from a state she had literally just moved to? And what were her personal accomplishments before she entered the White House as President Clinton's wife (and the wife of a six-term state governor) in 1992?

 

[Trakar]

Prove it. Prove Clinton hasn't been held to a different standard.

I've always been led to understand that those who believe a certain thing to be true, are those who should bear the burden of supporting and evidencing their beliefs. If you feel that Hillary has been held to an unfair set of standards, please feel free to offer your support.

One time I remember seeing real sexism against Hillary was the damn cookie baking episode. Her 1992 quote defending her decision to practice law in the Boston Globe:

"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life."

This led Barbara Bush to release her personal cookie recipe which forced Hillary to publish her own damn cookie recipe.

If that wasn't sexism pure and simple, I doubt there's a better case.

I would assume that you were referring to Hillary's incredibly patronizing comments about stay at home mothers as being incredibly sexist and improper, but something tells me that you do not see how ridiculous Hillary's comment was.

What an incredibly odd post. Do you really think that worked?

Sanders tops Clinton by 2-to-1 margin in New Hampshire

As national polls close the gap! Here comes a bigger BERN!

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/04/politics/new-hampshire-poll-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton

I would pay real money to hear Hillary react to this news.

And I'd bet real money that Bernie's win (which I concur will happen) is no where near 2:1 That poll is an outlier. With their sampling so small, if they got 8 Hillary supporters who weren't taking calls that day, the % would be quite different. I believe they were in a rush to be the first poll out after Iowa and settled for an even lower sampling than their usual low sampling.

Non-partisan readers should note that you have to scroll down on the RCP averages to find the poll. It is totally anomalous with all the other polls taken this week, showing +7/8 for Bernie that no one else is showing and -8/10 for Hillary.

The RCP averages show a quite different story. From the numbers, Bernie's holding strong at ++50% but the non-committed are aligning somewhat with Billary.

You guys are hilarious.

Clinton's accomplishments have been posted more than once in this thread, they've been in news story after news story and there's a list on her campaign web site.

As if posting them again will create some neuron connections past your short term memory blocks.

And it's incredibly sexist to ignore the fact she was a Senator and the Secretary of State or to somehow credit Bill for that. Pretty sure Bill didn't cozy up to Obama to get Hillary the job.

She was elected to the Senate after eight years as the President's wife. You think she would have been a serious candidate, let alone elected, from a state she had no previous connection with otherwise? And if you want to keep citing her job titles, what did she actually accomplish as Senator and Secretary of State, except to comport herself in a manner that Henry Kissinger likes?
