The GOP Plan for Hillary Seems Destined to Fail

     Their plan seems to be accusing her of being part of a political dynasty who is rich and out of touch with Americans because she has had a driver for many years.

     It makes you think of Christ in the New Testament: He who is without sin, cast the first stone.

     For our purposes here you might change this to: 'The GOPer who is without great wealth can cast the first aspersion on Hillary's 'great wealth.'

     As I argued in that previous post, even if in some sense you could call the Clintons a family dynasty, at least it's a meritocratic one-Hillary and her husband built it, rather than simply being born into it like Jeb.

     Then too, I argued that there is nothing inherently wrong with being part of a dynasty-just look at all the good the Roosevelts or the Kennedys have done.

    Watching Mitt Romney of all people try to attack Hillary for 'her great wealth'' just lets you know that this line of attack is not going to work:

   "And Mitt Romney today said Hillary Clinton is something of a phony who’s vulnerable to attacks on her wealth. I tried to come up with something snarky to say about that, but really, what can you add? Mitt is just adorable."

   What the GOPers don't seem to get is that it's not just about how rich you are but whether your policies benefit the rich at the expense of everyone else like the policies of their entire party.

   The GOP is not exactly the party to be attacking people for 'great wealth' as that is who their policies all benefit.

   Republicans always do this. Like when Herman Cain was supposed to be the one to beat Obama because-Cain is Black. It's not just about race, more important are the policies. Cain's policies would have been abysmal for Blacks-remember the 9 and 9 and 9 flat tax?- even if he himself were Black.

   In this vein Hillary has a great answer to the blatant ageism of Marco Rubio and Scott Walker: she might not be that young but she will be the youngest female ever to be President.
