so...... Her personal doctor diagnoses her on Friday... Knowing that it is politically imperative to make the appearance at the memorial on Sunday she tries to keep it quiet... To do that she has to appear at the Friday night engagement... Knowing she was weak and might have an episode, but unwilling to take the political hit for staying home, she takes her Doc with her on Sunday... Doc behaves like a doctor... Doc was there to provide immediate attention when the need arose... And? So? This all seems like a very typical by-the-numbers chain of events.
But Hillary is not. Everything she's ever touched has turned into a disaster. She has no concept of decision making and she keeps almost everyone around her terrified, so they don't provide sound input. Remember Hillarycare? It died a twitching death because she was overbearing and secretive. Remember how she toppled Mubarrak? Yeah, the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt. Remember Libya? That was her baby, where we were going to lead from behind. It's now an ISIS strong point. Remember how she rescued our people from Benghazi? Oh, she totally forgot to do that, even though rescue forces were saying they were ready. Remember her Russian reset? Yeah, that's going swimmingly. NATO is now worried that they couldn't stop the Russians from rolling to the English Channel. And nobody can get good information out of her because all she does is lie. Remember how she had to run across the tarmac under sniper fire in Bosnia? Nobody else does either. Remember how she told the parents of Benghazi victims that she'd get the Youtuber responsible? They do, and so she calls them liars. Yet she wasn't willing to testify in court and so faces a summary judgement against her in a lawsuit filed by the parents. She's completely corrupt and completely incompetent. She 68 and people are still talking about her potential because she has no accomplishments other than lining her own pockets and leaving a trail of dead bodies and broken lives.
I am talking about the other half, to use Hillary's phrase. Many of them are firming up behind Trump when Hillary needs to be winning them over. Calling them names just alienates them either and makes her look even more like an arrogant twit.
I am not running for office or trying to convince people to vote for me, she is, and she need to get some of those leans Trump voters to change their mind and vote for her instead. She I doing a terrible job of that and that is why she pissed away her lead and is now in a dead heat.
What name did she call them? She only called racists what they are. Anybody who's not a racist? She wasn't talking about them.
Keep it up, dude, and you just might end up getting Trump elected. Even Hillary knew it was dumb and that is why she apologized.
I already know you're voting for Trump, @Dinner, no need for you to pretend it's because you've been outed as a racist.
Gul, you don't get it. If Trump claimed half of Hillary supporters were a bunch of murders, thieves, drug dealers, and child rapists, he could just fold up shop. If his supporters then insisted that what he said was true, it would just make the damage worse. What it's doing is showing absolute contempt for the people who go into the polling booths. Hillary just showed a ton of it. She called our military service members buckets of deplorables. She called our police buckets of deplorables. She called our ICE agents buckets of deplorables. She called our truck drivers buckets of deplorables. You can't win an election that way.
From the Washington Times editor emeritus Hillary’s health problems are not a figment of Matt Drudge’s imagination Hillary Clinton looks on the road to recovery from her episode of pneumonia, and all men and women of goodwill are glad of that. But we still don’t know whatever else it may be that ails the lady. Partisans of limited goodwill should be careful of what they wish for: if Hillary retires from the race to take it easy to recover fully from something that looks more menacing than “walking pneumonia,” the Democrats could field a substitute with much stronger appeal to November voters. It’s difficult to imagine they could find someone with less. Hillary and her wise men, flacks and flunkies apparently never learned that suppressing a story that’s likely to emerge in spite of everything they do is very risky business. When facts finally emerge the candidate and the campaign look foolish and exceedingly dishonest, and Hillary is not likely to regain whatever trust she had. It’s the oldest story in Washington, repeated as if on an endless reel of scandal across the years. Better to let it all hang out, and there’s no such thing as “limited hangout.” Richard Nixon and his wise men tried that, and look what happened to them. Hillary and her defenders, many in the media — comprising what you might call a vast left-wing media conspiracy — have been peddling the story for days, weeks even, that she was in perfect health, and it was mean and irresponsible to ask questions about her stumbling, shuffling, coughing, wheezing and putting on weird facial expressions, given to inappropriate giggling with her head bobbing violently. The evidence was all out there on the internet, which anyone with a laptop, smartphone or iPad could see for him/her/self. It might have been unpatriotic to look, as if it were a wreck on the highway, but a lot of people looked, anyway. The Democrats in the media are losing control of the narrative as the facts on the ground change under their feet. It's much harder for voters to forget a lie when it's still being created and thrown in their faces. Hillary has a record of dismissing as mere conspiracies well-founded stories that turn out to be true. She haughtily dismissed Monica Lewinsky as a figment of Matt Drudge’s imagination, she scorned the stories that said she was ailing from something that turned out to be pneumonia, and now her campaign — and her enablers in the mainstream media she burned on the pneumonia story — scoff at speculation that she suffers from a serious neurological disorder. If the Democrats were smart they'd replace Hillary this week, but they can't because - Hillary. Likewise, virtually any other Democratic candidate with something severe like Parkinson's or cancer (like Paul Tsongas) would step aside within a week or two of the diagnosis. Hillary isn't that candidate. She is not going to step aside. She is not going to be pushed aside. She is going to ride the pony into the ditch, and deprive Democrats everywhere of having another Democratic administration and a bunch of Supreme Court picks because she does not care about them. She only cares about herself. This election is all about her. The country be damned.
she wasn't calling "the other half" any names and, indeed, explicitly validated their concerns. Truth is, EVERY person who's been generally supporting Trump who reacted to that quote by saying "How fucking DARE she call me names?" is a voter already in the completely sold out to Trump basket that would never consider her. The "reachable" ones share the same concerns she expressed about their fellow travelers and are not insulted.
Not if they aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or Islamophobic. Not if they aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or Islamophobic. Not if they aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or Islamophobic. Not if they aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or Islamophobic. Not any of those things? Congratulations, you're in the other half. But a shitload of other Trump supporters have been exhibiting those tendencies in spades.
She called them bigots, misogynists, homophobes, xenophobes, and every other name in the book. They noticed.
It's about damn time you noticed. Does it mean you’ll stop being any one of those things? Probably not, but surprise me.
She called at least half of them racists, bigots, homophobes, xenophobes, and everything else. Meanwhile, Hillary supporters are primarily child rapists, pimps, prostitutes, human sex traffickers, embezzlers, con artists, mental patients, and jihadists who slaughter gay people. Certainly not half. Way more than that. You all know it. Most Hillary voters are banned from funeral homes because they fuck the corpses. They're banned from day care centers because they send the toddlers to funeral homes - so they can fuck their corpses one more time. Keep doubling down on campaign FAIL.
Man, if only I could hit the rainbow, TLDR, and facepalm all together on that one. Forcing a guy to choose is so cruel.
she didn't apologize, she just allowed that saying "half" might have been an exaggeration (it wasn't) which she shouldn't even have had to since she specifically prefaced the remark by saying she was being grossly generalistic
Yes, she doubled down on defending a remark far worse than Romney's 47%. It shows what she really thinks about ordinary, working Americans, the ones who don't send her buckets of cash so she can buy another mansion.
