2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)"Arrogant Insufferable Self-serving Disaster" perfectly describes Hillary's candidacy [View all]
Because Hillary is entitled to the nomination because it is her turn....
...the rest of us have to put up with the Democratic party reputation being trashed to all hell, with corruption more evident than in the Bush administration, making us look like the truly corrupt party the GOP has been bashing us for this entire time.
If she did feel so entitled to this nomination, the least she could have done is not use the secretary of state position for personal enrichment, followed the rules etc.
What made her so arrogant as to assume she would get away with everything? She is the one that complained about the vast right wing conspiracy to get her and her husband.
Shouldn't she have at least protected herself from attacks by not committing illegal acts?
Now the rest of us are expected to defend her while the media and GOP attacks her for well deserved reasons?
If she does win the nomination we can expect 4 years of constant attacks, they are already preparing for impeachment.
Why do the rest of us have to put up with this?
There are millions of people in in this country suffering real problems.
For many people the economic situation is a matter of life and death.
And yet we all have to deal with this because it is her turn.
And then they have the nerve to call Bernie's campaign an "arrogant insufferable self serving disaster"
I can't imagine a more perfect description of Hillary.
