âthe former secretary of state and failed presidential candidate is also planning to fundraise for women running in pivotal congressional raceâ
What an oddly hostile way to word thatâŚ
While Clinton remains a darling of the DNC, her involvement in key races could have the inverse effect. With Clinton planted as the lingering focus of Republicansâ ire, GOP campaign officials told NBC they welcome Clintonâs involvement.
This is exactly what iâm afraid of. She did nothing wrong to earn her place in infamy among Republicans, but that is precisely where she is. Without her stumping for other Dems, the only thing Republicans have to run against is Pelosi, and those people hate Clinton even more. Her re-emergence on the campaign trail will undoubtedly raise lots of money for Dems, but it will also get a lot of Republicans out to the pols to oppose whoever she supports. I fully realize this is not fair to her in any way. She definitely does not deserve a back seat in anything she does, but right now the Dems have very strong momentum heading into the mid-terms. I hate to see anything compromise our collective momentum. Granted, my fears might be unfounded, but that doesnât make them go away. And trust me on this. I would much rather my fears go away than Clinton.
If the Democrats are smart theyâll boldly support HRC. Sheâs the victim of a GOP tear down and MSM complicity in that. The real HRC is one of the most honest pols weâve had in 50 years, second only to Obama, and if the Democrats want to stop whatâs been killing them for 40 years theyâll go full blown HRC.
The article above is written in the âmandatoryâ style for journoâs discussing her and itâs time to fight that. It stinks of the same tenor that framed Al Gore as a serial fabulist and John Kerry a fake war hero. False. What MSM and liberal complicity in those and the HRC war monger âstand down orderâ smears got us was an unnecessary war in Iraq that killed 1000âs of young Americans and DJ Trump. âAl Gore said he invented the internetâ got millions of people killed at the hands of the people that told the lie. " John Kerry didnât earn his medals" got 4 more years of death and destruction all compliments of the Swift Boat assholes. And how did you hear it? MSM. They loved it. The same MSM that went hog wild with a GOP scam to blame HRC, the Sec. of State, for an embassy attack when that was never done to previous Secâs of State. In both cases, With Bush and Trump the nation suffered but in both cases it took extraordinary means, Florida and SCOTUS in the case of Bush and Russia in the case of Trump to push them in the Oval Office. Neither would have been successful if it werenât for the full blown assault on the Democratic candidates ( both Demâs won the popular vote ) by the MSM bullshit.
Donât let anyone tell you what your values are. That includes by formula journalism put out by this blog and others. HRC is not what sheâs been cast to be. We know that. Take pride in it and shove it in the face of those that want to continue the lies.
Itâs the crap they teach in Journo school. HRC 101 says thatâs how you speak of her.
Iâm still seeing âLock Her Upâ and â4 people died and Hillary liedâ bumper stickers around here. WTF, dumbasses?
Thatâs because the style manual used by our MSM mandates that journoâs run with GOP bullshit cast at HRC. She didnât lie about Benghazi but thanks to âthe free pressâ more than half of America thinks she did. NYT, WaPO PoliticoâŚall ran with that fabrication. We expect it from FOX but it made it on A1 above the fold in Amercaâs most ârespectedâ journals.
While Clinton remains a darling of the Democratic base, her involvement in key races could have the inverse effect with people who wouldnât have voted for her anyway.
Thatâs right, I fixed it for them.
but it will also get a lot of Republicans out to the pols to oppose whoever she supports.
I disagree with this. Her involvement will bring out the die-hard base of feral trumpers for whom you could substitute the name HRC for Pelosi. I doubt it will serve as a rallying cry for the so-called Indies who wanted to "shake things up.â
âGOP campaign officials told NBC they welcome Clintonâs involvement.â
Just because they say something doesnât necessarily mean it should be taken at face value. For Godâs Sake.
It does if itâs about HRC. All the bullshit thatâs fit to print is the rule for her.
I thought the same thing. In fact, I scrolled up to see if this was an AP article. Itâs not. WTF TPM?
That is exactly what I was about to type. Iâll just make the coffee, instead.
The GOP did everything they could during the clinton presidency to obstruct and smear him. They successfully controlled the media narrative, although if he had been a republican, they would have loved him as one of them. Hillary they hate with the burning hatred of 1,000 suns .
thatâs what I thought too
Oddly hostile?
Itâs as if it were written by Andrea MitchellâŚ
me too!
perhaps âformer Democratic presidential candidateâ or âthe democratic opponentâ or somethingâŚ
This is a bad idea for several reasons, not the least of which is the energy in the Democratic party is moving away from Clintonism. HRCâs choice to re-engage via big money donor fundraiser may bring more money and fire up a big contingent of Dem voters but it will also turn off another contingent at a time when Dem presidential hopefuls are increasingly making an issue about where their money is coming from. Hopefully HRC is only doing this for the midterms as I would really hate for Clinton style fundraising, and all that implies, to become an issue when people like Elizabeth Warren start officially running for president. There are so many ways HRC could be an effective asset for the midterms and beyond that donât involve fundraising.
right on jax - during the election I was always running into democrats, young and middle aged - people who insisted the clintons were dirty and âno different than republicansâ - the steady drumbeat of republicans and lazy journalists for years. but they couldnât come up with a single crime. Itâs like how I never read magazines or facebook , but somehow I know about the KardashiansâŚitâs just background noise every day until it soaks in.
We are still with her but I would be relieved to see her take a different role in these elections.The toxicity among Bernies upporters and the mindless GOP haters is real and will be difficult to overcome. Being a great American and public servant seems to be a liability in our current bizzaro worldâŚscum bags like the Don and Rudy routinely suck up all the oxygen while serious difference makers struggle to be heard.
