Official Hillary Clinton 2016 thread (3 Viewers)

Not open for further replies.
May seem like a dumb question, but what animal would you associate Trump and Clinton with?  (There's a reason I'm asking). 
Trump:  Shark - Tiny brain, unpredictable, doesn't make sense, very dangerous.

Hillary:  Coyote - Opportunistic, no real compass or purpose, but adaptable to any change in condition

ETA:. Chameleon is better for Hill. @The Commish

Initially thought of a fox for Hillary, but I don't get a sense that her path was carved by her smarts rather handlers and public opinion along with candidates running against her.

 
If there was any doubt that the Hillary camp thinks this is all pretty much over:

Hillary Clinton wraps up event in CT without mentioning Sanders at all. Post-New York, Clinton has largely ignored the VT senator.

As we near 600 pages, it seems those of us with strong opinions are impacted.

I think a fair questions to ask are:

(Given that Hillary is likely to be elected President)

A. Do all parties generally agree that Hillary is at least partially dishonest?

B.  Fair to say that some believe that A is excusable as long as she can prove effective as a leader?

If A and B are roughly true (which I believe they are), then is it fair to ask:

C.  In her 35 year career, can we name 10 accomplishments where she has led, that suggest in aggregate that forgiving her dishonesty is wise and likely to beget results (i.e. Economically, culturally, morally, spiritually, educationally, technologically, etc?)

Before you answer, remember she doesn't play the sax like Bill.

People are voting for Hillary because of Bill, not because of her.  They want the 90's magic back that Bill brought.  She's has none of that.

Ham, we have a choice between a partially honest candidate and 0% honest candidate who will be a Republican puppet.

Can you agree with that?

 
Of course this is directed at you.  So, have you recently read any independent analysis of the cattle futures issue, or the pardons issue, or even the fracking articles I've posted, or are your conclusions still based on the opinion pieces you read ages ago but only vaguely remember?  Tell you what, prove to me that you've actually read up on the pardons.  In your own words, who got pardoned, what were the accusations, and how were they false?  Ditto for cattle futures...
Tell you what: no. 

Im not really a big fan of having to prove myself to you or anybody around here. You think I'm lying about having read those articles? Fine. You want to take me at my word? Also fine. 
I don't care whether you read them or not.  My point is that every time someone asks you a question about the specifics of one of these issues, you're unable to answer.  You generally go with the "several years back I read a little about it, and the article saying she did nothing wrong made sense to me at the time" defense.  If you're going to claim that specific accusations are untrue, you should at least know a little about them.

When I at first read this I thought 'we deserve better', maybe we don't, maybe this is exactly what we deserve. As a people we have been selfish and unserious, Cold War ended, we won and we threw a rave.

Yes. My disgust is with the process that was coming down the tracks and gave us this, and makes us feel lucky for a "partially honest" candidate.

 
Continuing on Tim's self conscious reflection - or projection - which seems to be a national Democratic exercise as the NYT comes out with a piece by Kristoff, not unlike Abramson's (also formerly of the NYT) reminding people how secretly honest Hillary really is.

It reminds me of that SNL skit recently where Steve Harvey tells Jennifer Lawrence she constantly has to remind people how normal and relatable she is more than any normal girl he knows.

Kristof is exactly right, as usual.  The "Hillary is a dishonest liar" talking point created by Rove and parroted by many in the Bernie movement is horse####.

Such a weird article.  It essentially says she's dishonest, but the narrative that she is so is bogus. :loco:

I've made a decision to not vote, or vote Republican -- because even when you memorize and repeat talking points verbatim, they're still ####### lies.

 
That was obvious from the first post you ever made in this thread and continuing with your daily over-the-top Hillary rants. The only shock would be if you said you were voting otherwise.

 
He's the foil to you.
:lmao:  Foil? 

There's exactly 3 guys in here- myself, Squis, and Tommy- who are Hillary supporters. There's about 20 people in this thread who hate her guts, from the right and the left- and you need a foil for US??? 

I like you Max, but in this thread you've been nothing but pathetic. If it wasn't for BeaverCleaver you'd be the worst critic of Hillary here, since all you've ever been able to do is call her names without one bit of substance to back you up. But thanks to Beaver you come off as reasonable.  :D

C'mon, Tim.  Her reputation is well-deserved and is 100% her fault.  Someone doesn't get the reputation of being a liar and dishonest because of something someone else said.  This has been going on for 30+ years with her - this isn't some newbie on the scene where you might question that reputation.   The American people have seen enough of her for YEARS to come to that conclusion.

Hey - I like you too, regardless of how many rose-colored glasses you have to put on for Hillary.  And out of the 3 guys you mentioned,  two of them aren't even close to reasonable (hint: it's not you).  ;)

A recent Gallup poll of reactions to "Hillary Clinton" where Dishonest, Liar, Don't Trust Her, Poor Character, Dislike Her, Criminal, Crooked, Thief, Belongs In Jail, and Wouldn't Be Good For The Country were some of the most common responses. 

When Gallup asked the same question in 2008, "dishonest" was Americans' most frequent response.
Anyone who thinks this is all a Karl Rove "narrative" is just kidding themselves.

Yeah, it's lazy and honestly just a crappy grasp of basic history by tgunz there.

 
I think you underestimate the fact that Warren is the new liberal flavor in the party. She may get the itch to run, but the fact that Harry Reid talked into a party leadership position undermines her "outsider" shtick.

Biden could also want to move up to the top job. Also have to look at Cuomo.

Also, she may also suffer from image fatigue. I suspect a good many general election voters don't want to see another Bush OR Clinton in the WH.
she's too old for the next go round

I disagree. As Kristof suggests, Hillary isn't any more "dishonest" than her contemporaries, despite her narrative.  It's those who repeat the false narrative who are being lazy, IMO.

You and I will disagree on the validity of the narrative, but it most certainly didn't originate from Karl Rove.

The only logical reason the transcripts aren't coming out is because what she said--or didn't say--is viewed by her camp as damaging.  She has already gone on record and said she gave them hell for the mortgage crisis and CEO compensations, among other things...and she probably never said any of those things...probably other stuff they know will damage her integrity. 
I agree with this.  Not because there is anything substantive, but b/c Hillary's camp knows that whatever the transcript says, her detractors will turn it into "OMG LOOK AT THE LIES".  

Zero reason to release the transcripts.  The cobalts, Hams, Saintsdome, Commish, etc. aren't going to be won over by transcripts, regardless of what they say.

Exactly. It's called politics, not honestics.

Why? I have never voted R (for President).

Whatever, dude.  You're such an apologist it's pathetic.  If this were a republican you would calling for their heads.

As long as she doesn't release the transcripts she feeds her reputation as a liar and a completely dishonest POS.  She most certainly has something to hide, and living in your far left bubble doesn't change that no matter how much plug your ears and scream "I'm not listening!  I'm not listening!".
