Hillary Clinton is Done: part 2

[TheL8Elvis]

are Shillaries still sticking up for the reprehensible Super Pac activities of Correct the Record?

Fact, Hillary and her cronies are exploiting Citizens United while at the same time claiming they are against it. liars

I don't follow how that makes "Hillary and her cronies" liars. Please show your work.

Fact, Correct the Record has been caught red handed ghost writing editorials without attribution.

That's weak sauce based on the emails. Correct the record did not "ghost write" the editorial.
It was written by a guy that managed his first campaign. Is that supposed to be somehow out of the ordinary ?
https://theintercept.com/2016/05/06/hillary-super-pac-draft-oped/

and people are asking us to find the paid trolls that are repeating Correct the Record propaganda without attribution? How silly.

Yes, people are asking for evidence of your assertions on a skeptics board. This is my shocked face.

 

[BobTheCoward]

won't stand for it? Well you appear that you will stand for Hillary's hypocritical use of Citizen United.

Stand for Hillary Clinton? What the hell are you talking about? How she uses it has no impact on my feelings on this issue. I'm not a Democrat primary voter and I am not voting for their nominee.

 

[Belz...]

I don't mean to read too much into your comment but ... shortcomings notwithstanding, this is ostensibly a forum for skeptics, and Politics is a department within said forum, and we should all strive to apply skepticism throughout the forum.

Oh, I agree with you that it's ostensibly a skeptics forum, but I've been disillusioned over the years: very few of us are actual skeptics when it counts.

Barring recount results, MSNBC calls Kentucky for Clinton.

Barring recount results, MSNBC calls Kentucky for Clinton.

"Recount! Recount! Recount!"

"It was fixed. The DNC machine held back three billion Bernie votes!"

"I know a guy who showed up with his 1958 library card from Sand Gap and he couldn't vote. Millions of Bernie voters were similarly deprived!"

"Let's storm the podium!"

DNC infuriates Bernie Voters, DNC Whines, Bernie tells them to get bent

New days of rage are brewing given the DNC's obvious favoritism of awful Candidate Hillary Clinton.

"The perception that the DNC and other state parties have unfairly favored Hillary Clinton is going to make the reconciliation of Sanders and Clinton supporters nationally and in the states far harder," said Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, president of the NDN think tank. "The DNC should have tried much harder to address this perception early on, as it always had the potential to become a reason for Sanders partisans to question the legitimacy of Clinton's victory."

What are they mad about?

They‘ve raged against super delegate allocation process and criticized the Iowa Democratic Party chairwoman for calling the Democratic contest for Clinton amid confusion in the early hours of the morning. More recently, they fumed at the Colorado Democratic Party for failing to notify the Sanders campaign of a counting error in reporting its caucus results but telling the Clinton campaign about the mistake.

Not to mention DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's appalling favoritism. Nevertheless, rather than fixing the actual problem, she is appealing to Sanders to tamp down his supporters understandable outrage.

Bernie's response? "Stick it." Go Bernie!

Bernie's response (more accurately): (Putting on his Trump mask and employing his best Rodney Dangerfield voice) We don' get no respeck. I tell ya! Treat us fair and we'll stop pushing and shoving and shouting down people we don't agree with. Say, couldn't you give us a few hundred Superdelegates?"

Honestly, how different is the inference from Trump's iterations that if he wasn't given the nomination his followers would riot?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Despite a Fox poll to the contrary, it does appear Sanders is taking OR by about 10 points.

Are you surprised? Bob the Coward has frequently expressed political views that are radically at odds with those of the Democratic Party. If you despise Hillary's political ideas you need not reach for stories with which to demonize her.

Clinton needs less than 100 of the remaining 900+ delegates.

Bill Clinton can’t serve in Hillary’s cabinet

Hillary Clinton this week said she would put her husband “in charge of revitalizing the economy,” especially in economically depressed areas, leading many to wonder what shape the former president’s role would take.

“I have asked, actually, to be given the job of trying to help every part of the United States that has been left out and left behind economically,” Bill Clinton said while campaigning for his wife in Puerto Rico Tuesday. “And I think it is very, very important.”

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump slammed the idea. “How can Crooked Hillary put her husband in charge of the economy when he was responsible for NAFTA, the worst economic deal in U.S. history?” he said on Twitter.

And former Obama top adviser David Axelrod said it was “ill-advised” to make Bill Clinton economic “czar,” since voters expect the president to take the lead on an issue as important as the economy.

This is virtually uncharted territory in the modern American presidency, raising important legal and governing equations.

Two Presidents in the White House?

The federal anti-nepotism law enacted in December 1967 -- partly as a reaction to John F. Kennedy's appointment of his brother Robert as attorney general -- prohibits any official in the three branches of government, including the president, from appointing a relative to a job over which that official has authority or control. This means Mr. Clinton could not be a cabinet secretary or an ambassador, or White House chief of staff. His role would be necessarily ambiguous. At a time when voters are crying out for more openness in government, such an arrangement raises questions about transparency and accountability.

As mentioned yesterday, good luck with that strategy; it's basically a gift on a platter to Donald Trump.

Maybe Crooked Hillary wants to get onboard the Trump Train just like everyone else, and this is just her way of voting against herself.

Maybe bankrupt Donald ought to ask for a job as tour guide at the White House. It's about the closest he'll get to the Oval Office. Hillary's comment was brilliantly timed. It'll bring out the real Clinton Derangement Syndrome team; half of the anti-Hillary frothers are really in it because Bill owned them time and again, and the fear and loathe the guy.

Nancy Reagan had no trouble running the country; you don't have to appoint him to anything.

Hillary Might Have Just Made Her Worse Mistake Ever

Hillary’s promise to bring back Bill reminds voters that her career has always been secondary to his. She got her start in public life as a First Lady, initially First Lady of Arkansas, then of the United States. Hillary had no conceivable basis for running for the Senate in New York other than the fact that she was First Lady. She has always ridden Bill’s coattails. Is that the profile we want in a presidential candidate?

Hillary’s vow to put him in charge of economic policy reminds us of the weird nature of their relationship. If Hillary is president, will Bill live in the White House? Will he continue to consort with his various girl friends? What official role will he play? Will Bill be a shadow president?

If Bill is responsible for the economy, the number one priority of most voters, isn’t he the real president? Is Hillary just a surrogate? Doesn’t she have her own ideas about some of the most important matters facing the country?

Donald Trump responded appropriately: "Crooked Hillary said her husband is going to be in charge of the economy. If so, he should run, not her. Will he bring the 'Energizer' to D.C.?"

Putting Bill Clinton front and center highlights some of the most intractable weaknesses of Hillary’s candidacy. Most people now view Bill as a serial sex abuser. He has been out of office for 16 years, and now is, or appears to be, an old man. It is hard to imagine that the prospect of Bill in charge of economic policy will stir much enthusiasm, anywhere.

These days, the phrase “partners in crime” is almost always used in jest, but it perfectly describes the Clintons. Hillary’s promise to put Bill in charge of the nation’s most important issues only highlights the weaknesses of her qualifications to be president.

The name, 'Energizer', is a reference to Bill Clinton's neighbor and close friend Julie McMahon. Secret Service agents assigned to protect the former president jokingly gave her that nickname. McMahon is a frequent visitor who infallibly shows up whenever Hillary is away from their home in Chappaqua:

Does Hillary really want a disbarred lawyer anywhere near the White House?

It will give us the chance to revisit the nuts and sluts period of Clinton cover ups, though. Here is an oldie but a goodie:

Some Facts.... Increases to US GDP over the years (in 2009 US$, Inflation Adjusted)

1.63 Trillion - Jan 1961 -> Dec 1970 (JFK, Johnson, Nixon)
1.79 Trillion - Jan 1971 -> Dec 1980 (Nixon, Ford, Carter)
2.91 Trillion - Jan 1981 -> Dec 1992 (Reagan, Bush I)
3.27 Trillion - Jan 1993 -> Dec 2000 (Clinton)1.9 Trillion - Jan 2001 -> Dec 2008 (Bush II)
1.89 Trillion - Jan 2009 -> Dec 2015 (Obama)

Notice that the US Economy grew by the largest amount ever in the 8 years under Clinton, out stripping the 12 years under Reagan/Bush I and well outperforming the rest.

But yeah, better not let him anywhere near the economy now, don't want to make even more people look bad with new growth figures.

Rest assured that any good which could be attributed to a Democrat will be summarily dismissed.

Putting aside the tail events (e.g. Reagan inherited a recession, Bush 1 took a hit for the recession induced by the reduction of military spending due to the end of the Cold War, Clinton inherited all of the upside from the move to a peacetime economy, Bush 2 inherited a recession from the collapse of the tech bubble, Obama inherited a recession from the collapse of the housing bubble), don't you think that looking at % growth makes more sense than absolute growth?

Percentage growth gives the following numbers:

52.9% - Jan 1961 -> Dec 1970 (JFK, Johnson, Nixon)
38.0% - Jan 1971 -> Dec 1980 (Nixon, Ford, Carter)
44.8% - Jan 1981 -> Dec 1992 (Reagan, Bush I)
34.8% - Jan 1993 -> Dec 2000 (Clinton)15.0% - Jan 2001 -> Dec 2008 (Bush II)
13.0% - Jan 2009 -> Dec 2015 (Obama)

 

[WildCat]

Hillary has been criticizing Trump for not giving details about how he'd fix the economy. Hillary's plan? The greatest woman ever, the ideal feminist hero (for women over 60 anyway), is going to tell her husband to fix it.
