First of all, unlike President Obama, she has not the slightest illusions of who she is dealing with. Obama understands now but in 2009 he was caught flatfooted-he honestly believed his own rhetoric about post partisan America.
Rachel Maddow made a very good point the other night in comparing President Obama's very optimistic view before talking office at the start of 2009 and Hillary Clinton's attitude towards the GOP.
I think the last question of the night revealed a lot. Anderson Cooper asked each candidate which enemy they had made actually makes them the proudest.
Hillary said the NRA, the drug companies and then she finished with Iran and the Republican party.
Think about that! She is clearly painting the GOP and Iran with the same brush. She sees them in the same terms-maybe in part due to some mutual religious fundamentalism and anti feminism?
Earlier that night she had spoken of her ability to Take the fight to the Republican enemy.

Seeing this, you begin to see why the GOP is so scared of Hillary. After seeing her debate the other night the conservative National Interest said the GOP should be afraid of her:
"Despite the efforts of the media to inject some sizzle into the Democratic race, the blunt fact is that Hillary Clinton is and always has been a lock to win her party’s presidential nomination. Having lost the 2008 primary battle to Barack Obama, she is not about to suffer from overconfidence. Having been relentlessly assaulted by the GOP for several decades, the latest round of Benghazi/email hearings will do little damage to her electoral prospects. Instead, the tohubohu about her record at the State Department will allow Clinton to continue to curry favor with the left-wing of the party by presenting herself as the prime target of the right. And having served as a Senator and Secretary of State, not to mention eight years in the Bill Clinton White House, she is the most seasoned of the candidates, Democratic or Republican."
:"The Vegas debate should be sounding alarms in the GOP. One thing seems clear: the new Clinton that emerged last night is unlikely to be taken down by House Republicans poring over her emails. Meanwhile, as the primaries approach, it will be interesting to see if Republicans vying for the nomination continue to devote more time to denouncing each other than Clinton."

"Before all the craziness -- before Donald Trump and Ben Carson and the need for two-tiered debates -- Republicans' biggest fear about next year's election was having to run against Hillary Clinton. As we saw Tuesday night, they were right to worry."
"At the Democratic candidates' first debate, Clinton was vastly more poised and polished than her competitors. I kept thinking of basketball metaphors: LeBron James playing in a pickup game at the neighborhood playground. Clinton soaring above the rim while the others enacted scenes from "White Men Can't Jump." You get the idea.

Trey Gowdy and friends are still planning to have her testify this week. It's their funeral.

You know, if you truly believe in here viewpoints, and like her for that, then ok, you have the right to that opinion. I do not agree with her, but it's ok. However, from a moral stand point, i do not understand how you can truly support Hillary. It has been shown time and time again that she is not a person with high integrity and not someone that you should want your children to look up to. The way that she treats the people that protect her is Disgusting as you can see... http://newsdailynow.com/2015/10/17/the-real-and-nasty-hillary/ I guess it's kind of like if your favorite baseball team signs a player that knowingly cheated and took steroids. Once he is on your team, you will probably root for him, but you still might not truly respect him.
ReplyDeleteWho has shown she doesn't have high integrity? Please don't say the Benghazi Committee who themselves are in egregious violation of federal law by running a Super PAC out of a Congressional Committee
