The Biggest Casualty Of The Hillary Clinton Campaign…
DECISION 08 BLOG
…has to be her husband's credibility. Has any ex-President fallen so far so fast in public estimation? (I'm not counting Jimmy Carter - we didn't like him even before he left office). Yet here he is again, sounding like a first-class idiot:
"Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if Hillary Clinton is not the nominee, and suggested some were trying to "push and pressure and bully" superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely.
"I can't believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out," Clinton said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by "ABC News."
Clinton also suggested some were trying to "cover up" Sen. Clinton's chances of winning in key states that Democrats will have to win in the general election.
" 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.' "
Clinton did not expound on who he was accusing.
…The former president said Sunday that the media had unfairly attacked his wife since the Iowa caucuses, repeating an often-used charge that press coverage had made him feel as though he were living in a "fun house."
"If you notice, there hasn't been a lot of publicity on these polls I just told you about," he said. "It is the first time you've heard it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think? Don't you think if the polls were the reverse and he was winning the Electoral College against Senator McCain and Hillary was losing it, it would be blasted on every television station?"
He added, "You would know it wouldn't you? It wouldn't be a little secret. And there is another Electoral College poll that I saw yesterday had her over 300 electoral votes. … She will win the general election if you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't."
Oh my goodness, this is terrible, she is losing…losing by the only measure that matters, the delegate count that is used to select the Democratic nominee…for cryin' out loud.
I mean, really…she's winning the general election? Holy cow - voting started already? Why didn't someone tell me? So early voting started on Memorial Day weekend this year? Man…we really DID accelerate the calendar this year. Amazing that ballots have been printed up and all, seeing as how neither party has had its convention…but hey, this is the age of miracles and wonders, so don't cry, Billy, don't cry, don't cry…
The paranoid style of American politics hits another milestone…
