EDITORIAL: The Force is with Hillary Clinton

By: The Gazette

The third Democratic debate should serve as a wake-up call to Republicans: Hillary Clinton will be a formidable foe, and the Force is with her.

On stage in New Hampshire, a state in which polls showed Clinton in a veritable tie with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders before the debate, Clinton left little question she is stronger, more knowledgeable and more presidential than Sanders or former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
................................."

Eight years later, he asked, should corporate America love Hillary Clinton?

"Everybody should," Hillary said with a smile, countering a "likability" deficit that has challenged her throughout the campaign. The audience loved it.
..................................

Clinton stood out as the only candidate to rule out a tax increase on the middle class.

.........................
The 52-year-old O'Malley generated booing by offering a gobbled foreign policy philosophy he billed as a "different generation's perspective," in a misplaced and awkward effort to emphasize the age of Clinton (68) and Sanders (74).
............

Clinton again highlighted depth and an ability to command the stage, concluding with "may the Force be with you." Republicans will be wise to find a candidate soon and get serious about taking on a woman who continues improving her game with a void of serious intraparty challengers.

1. O'Mallley is 52, damn, he looks good

K & R this thread

[Thinkingabout]

2. Yes, the FORCE is with us.

[Android3.14]

3. The force was also with Count Dooku

The thing about The Force, is that good people and bad people can have it with them.

Clinton is like Count Dooku, a person who perverts the essence of democracy.

Support Hillary Clinton Yoda does.

7. You'll remember Yoda supported Dooku

And the democracy failed there too.

As a fan of Star Wars, having grown up with this series, I find a candidate's use of the fundamental expression of the story's philosophy as demeaning as if a candidate from Wall Street had raised his hand and split his fingers in that special way to pronounce, "Live Long and Prosper."

Upon reflection, I wouldn't want any candidate to use these cherished icons to promote his or her agenda.

With you being a science fiction fan, you are accustomed (or once were accustomed) to looking forward with hope. I have a feeling there is a part of you that can see how badly the Clinton nomination will turn out.

It's so sad, riversedge, to see someone with some obvious writing ability using it in the way that you do. I have a suspicion that, if your younger self could see you across time and space, he or she would also feel sad, and wonder what caused the path to become this double-time march through a cave with no exit, trapped in the midst of angry screaming people.

8. Star Wars isn't real.

[Android3.14]

13. The dreams it created, though, were real

And Clinton is twisting those dreams, and twisting the spirits of those who held those dreams precious, to use them for her own advancement.

It also speaks to your personality that the response you had to my post was to demean a fan of science fiction and devalue the experience of his childhood.

4. "Clinton stood out as the only candidate to rule out a tax increase on the middle class."

Only in America would that statement be a complete positive.

[JaneyVee]

9. As it should be.

[BlueJazz]

12. Oh, I certainly don't have anything against her but the statement usually comes from some ...

..Republican that is saying "We won't tax the middle class (and we absolutely will not tax any of the super-wealthy or for that matter, take away any tax cuts that they now have)

I think she's better than that. But of course, she may have meant something different.

6. Hillary continues to pick up steam.

[litlbilly]

18. You guys can have the force and the steam, we have the actual people

[oasis]

19. The "actual polls" fail to support you assertion.

[litlbilly]

20. Nope sorry, corporate establishment polls are skewed. Dont pay any attention to those. You will

see after Bernie sweeps Iowa then NH.

[lunamagica]

26. Nope sorry, corporate establishment polls are skewed. Dont pay any attention to those"

Who thought that, who thought that....Oh, yea, It was mitt Romney!

He even had a guy "uneskewing" the polls...We know how well that went

[Cha]

28. Hillary picks up Reality!

[hobbit709]

10. The newspaper in a town full of RW fundies.

[jeepers]

11. Only newspaper

They can't give that thing away.

[rpannier]

14. I wondered if that was the Gazette-Telegraph

It's been a reichwing rag for reichwingers since I was stationed there 91-93

[hobbit709]

15. I'm surprised they didn't say the Farce was with her.

[rpannier]

16. Yep

With the possible exception of Stephen Chapman, every opinion piece was from an ultra-conservative
Not that Chapman is a winner, but he was a supporter of legalized drugs, supported glbt and opposed the security state (it's my understanding he opposed the Patriot Act).
But, Chapman whined endlessly about taxes and anything built or spent by public money

[SmittynMo]

17. Veritable tie? Since when?

Polls showed Clinton in a veritable tie with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders before the debate?
Polls a few days ago had her up by 30. Now they're damn near equal? I'm sorry, but when it's a lie right out of the shoot, I'm done reading the article. But then, I don't believe polls anyways. The more I read, the more I feel that MSM is in on this big time.

[jalan48]

21. Colorado Springs is a very conservative city.

[Cha]

29. That's right.. that's why they're telling the repubs to WTF up.

[jalan48]

30. Actually, they are promoting the most conservative Democrat in the race.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. In that her promises are pure fiction...

OK, I can see that.

[Persondem]

23. And here is Clinton's oneness with the Force made real in a political sense

[riversedge]

25. Love that navy blue line going up and up

[Autumn]

24. RW rag here in fundyville USA .

And it doesn't bother this damn place to tax, excuse me, fee the middle class to death here.

27. "The third Democratic debate should serve as a wake-up call to Republicans: Hillary Clinton will be

a formidable foe, and the Force is with her."

Oh let those ******* sleep!

Mahalo rivers!
