"why Hillary hasn't advised Huma to simply issue a statement that her husband is the victim of a vast Right wing conspiracy?"
Perhaps you make that point for her with your weiner fascination.

The head of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce lamented the lost opportunity of the Republican Party in 2016 with Trump as its nominee.
Javier Palomarez, whose group made its first-ever presidential endorsement in July, backing Hillary Clinton, remarked Thursday that Trump was in a bind after his meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
"He had to come back out and really kind of fire up his base. But the reality of it is, he hasn't done anything to help himself in terms of growing the number," Palomarez said during a discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"And so I think he's done for with the Hispanic community. He's never going to see the White House if he doesn't get a significant portion of the Hispanic vote," he continued. "I don't know if you guys speak Spanish but I want you to remember this one word: payaso. Payaso."
Explaining that it translates to "clown," Palomarez called Trump a "complete clown."
"I'm really sad for the American people and for the Republican Party. They had an opportunity to put John Kasich, you know, front and center," Palomarez said, referring to the Ohio governor who was the last Republican challenger to drop out against Trump. "Instead, they ended up with this payaso. You know, it's a complete waste of time. It is a complete waste of time. We need to get on with it already. The nation has got other things to worry about. Immigration reform is a monster that he created so he could slay it at the end of the day. It's not going to change things for this nation as we move forward here. We have to deal with a broken immigration system, obviously. But it’s got to be done in a strategic fashion that makes sense on a going forward basis to fire up people and get this kind of hate-filled, you know, this movement of hatred. It doesn't solve anything."
Asked whether there is anything Trump could say to change what he has said and done over the course of the last 14 months, Palomarez was adamant there was not.
"And after last night, that was an extra nail in the coffin. He's done for," Palomarez said, praising the work of "compassionate conservatives" like Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, Texas Sen. John Cornyn and others who were trying to make the GOP tent bigger.
Palomarez added, "Donald Trump has laid all of that, he has laid it to waste. And there is no going back." |
