Hillionaire in a nutshell

The editors at NRO note that the point of Hillionaire's speech last night was to "reintroduce herself."

They provide their own take on what that is about:

 . . . if you need a reintroduction to Mrs. Clinton, we will oblige: She is an opportunist without anything resembling a conviction with the exception of her unwavering commitment to abortion, a “public servant” who along with her husband grew vastly wealthy exploiting her political connections and renting access to everybody from Goldman Sachs to Vladimir Putin, a petty, grasping, vindictive, meretricious time-server whose incompetence and dishonesty have been proved everywhere from Little Rock to Benghazi.

They take a look at the specifics into which she delved, such as they were:

To the extent that she ventured down from the lofty heights of moral preening and celebrating herself as a semi-divine agent of History, she mostly cleaved to her familiar list of free stuff and a proposal for punitive tax hikes on unpopular individuals, companies, and industries. Maybe there are some rubes out there who think that this will result in tuition-free college for “the middle class,” as though shifting around costs made things less expensive. (How’s that working out for your health care?) Her strategy on the Islamic State? Same thing we’ve been doing, but with an added “We will prevail!”

Hardly the recipe for restoring post-America to its former status as the United States of America.

  1. No, this is the only recipe for sending Trump back to his crass towers to his own ego. You're fired, biggest asshole in the universe! Resume being a winna in your own mind. He should become the host of the Biggest Loser.

  2. But I was talking about a recipe for something different than for what you're talking about. Electing Hillionaire will not restore this nation to its former status as the USA. It will be post-America's final ruin.

  3. Sorry, you are wrong there. Things were OK under Bill and they will be OK under Hillie. They are by far the most knowledgeable and experienced team ever to hit the White House, then and soon to be. The world will love her. Trump is a scary scary unknown. Everyday there will be new crap spewing out of his pie hole over the next 3 months. The whole world largely feels the same way. Just watch and wait. She is also battle hardened from enemies within. Cry me a river all of you gross haters.

  4. Things were not okay under Bill. For starters, he took cultural rot to a level at which he was the ambassador of it. Now, you may do some "I-don't-care-about-anyone's-sex-life" stance, but the fact is that we ought to expect character from our presidents. And, yes, there are precedents for the kind of way he conducted himself. There are also precedents for behavior becoming of someone with ostensibly the worlds most dignified position.

    And with regard to this vomit-inducing shit about things being fine under Hillionaire, do you not retain anything you read for more than a minute? This blog, let alone myriad websites, magazines, broadcast news outlets, have made clear a pattern of corruption, all-consuming bitterness and paranoia, a raw love of power, and an Alynskyite hard-left ideology. If that's okay with you, you are on the wrong side of the current divide in post-America.

  5. Sure, wasn't Ronnie the first divorced president? Vomit your guts out then. We're going forward. And good luck getting peeps to care who Saul Alinsky was, but if they really look into it, they might find he was not so bad at all. There does not have to be a divide dude. I am currently working with blacks and gays and women all together. It can be a rough go at the beginning and slowly trust can grow, respect can endure and even love can blossom. We're not going back to the failed schreeches for law and order, trails of tears, fears of the other. We are moving forward. I don't want to live in a country of window peepers and nostalgic weepers.

  6. and my best friend at work is a Philly jew who came up from Adventura Florida (where the rich jews all live, in case you don't know.) Alinsky empathized because he was of an era where his people were shunned in your glorious America when it was America. Cry me a river and hit the trail of tears boy.

  7. Excuse me, but getting a divorce per se is a little different from having a trail of women, some claiming long-term lover relationships with a married man who has been governor and president, some claiming to have been raped, and some claiming that he exposed himself to them, much of it confirmed, and the public being aware of all of it.

    And nobody's saying it's not fine to "work with blacks and women and gays." Let's not throw up red herrings, okay? For one thing, those are three separate categories with specific considerations attendant to each.

    And any defense of Alinsky is disgusting beyond comprehension.

  8. I still don't care. Prosecute him like they are prosecuting Bill Cosby then. We live in the age of smear. I'm not saying anyone's saying it's not fine to work with blacks and women and gays but in the real America, that did not happen. And I'm saying it's hard sometimes, getting them to respect an aging white man. And it is not at all because of any incompetence on my part. And I don't think any human being or favorable commentary regarding one is "disgusting beyond comprehension," but Trump comes close. I know you don't claim him in your party, but it appears that's where he is. I know people on both sides are trying to rip into him too. Still, I don't care about his sex life either unless it's to envy him.

  9. There is no such thing, sweet as she may be, that never got wet or more for a star?
