I think the deplorables comment would have been fine if they did try to cowardly walk it back immediately after in the typical miquetoast, 'cater to everyone' Democratic fashion.

Yes, it’s like she took notes from her husband, but isn’t Smooth Willy enough to pull it off. I think it’s because deep down, she is just a bitch.

I’m still convinced that only person insufferable enough to lose to Donald fucking Trump in 2016 was Hillary Clinton.

You can hate it all you want but in some level it’s a popularity contest and she is utterly utterly unlikeable.

Her smarmy q&a with those millennials was a fucking PR nightmare.

So to take Bush down, Clinton’s team drew up a plan to pump Trump up. Shortly after her kickoff, top aides organized a strategy call, whose agenda included a memo to the Democratic National Committee: “This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field,” it read.

“The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.

“Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

• Ted Cruz

• Donald Trump

• Ben Carson

We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously."

While the campaign also kept a close eye on Rubio, monitoring his announcement speech and tightly designing the tweeted responses to his moves, Clinton’s team in Brooklyn was delightedly puzzled by Trump’s shift into the pole position that July after attacking John McCain by declaring, “I like people who weren’t captured.”

Eleven days after those comments about McCain, Clinton aides sought to push the plan even further: An agenda item for top aides’ message planning meeting read, “How do we prevent Bush from bettering himself/how do we maximize Trump and others?"

She got her second choice in 2016, like all centrists did.

3. She is / was 100x more qualified than Trump.

4. American voters are idiots.

Neolibs would rather see a descent into fascism than a true progressive agenda because billionaires will still thrive under the former. Sure, there's the whole die roll about who gets caught up in the purges, but a real progressive administration could lead to less free money for them. The DNC would rather hand the reigns to the GOP while it sorts out the problem of people wanting a candidate like Bernie.

She should go hang out with her buddy Henry Kissinger, whatever he's up to these days.

Rich old bat, nobody cares; she might not be first for the guillotine but she's definitely in the queue.

Well said. The two front runners are like creepy old lords from Game of Thrones or something. One is much worse, but neither is good.

The Clintons need to retire quietly, nobody wants their input.

She's saying what every lemmy Centrist has been saying, only with less condescension and she managed to say it without calling anyone a Russian.

I'm surprised she's getting so much hate. Maybe she's not being entitled enough and centrists perceive her as being to their left.

"Shut up, you're voting for who we want you to vote for because we say so" is never the right message. Centrists will never think of another one.

To be fair, I don't think she would have made a good president even if the electoral college didn't exist. She would have been better than Trump but that's not saying much, because a shit sandwich is better than Trump.
