As I wrote before, many times, our goal, as Democrats, in 2016 is to prevent the Republicans from taking the White House to farther ruin, and dissipate the American Middle Class.
That said, I am more and more convinced, that the Secretary Clinton is not the answer to our quest.
To be honest, I hate such politicians, like Hilary Clinton.
Intelligent - yes, but dishonest, and weak.
Senator Sanders has been absolutely right rising the question: if Secretary Clinton is, al all, qualified to be a President of the USA, having such a history of bad judgment on so many important issues (the war in Iraq, bailing out the banks, disastrous trade agreements, etc).
We could farther and farther with the list of the wrong judgment proofs - I wrote about it already.
Today I want to shine a spotlight on Secretary Clinton’s disconnection from the 2016 reality.
Not only she still defends her husband’s NAFTA, and her husband’s crime bill, and talks about Super Predators, but uses the metaphors, which have been condemned and discarded a long time ago - in the nineties.
I saw her on TV today (and it’s widely described in many journals, both paper and virtual, like Politico - 1*), saying:
"I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get ‘off the reservation’ in the way they behave and how they speak."
If I said that as a joke I would still be considered a bigot and an ‘asshole’, but it would be a ‘no harm done’ - I am a private citizen. However, if the ‘off the reservation’ metaphor is used in 2016 by a presidential candidate, it becomes simply another ‘lack of judgment’ moment, and a proof, that she is not grown (as a human being) since the time she was a ‘first lady’. She is stuck in the past.
I repeat, louder: SHE IS STUCK IN THE PAST.
As I wrote in my previous article, Susan Sarandon had expressed some doubts if the Sanders supporters, like herself, would ‘have the stomach’ to vote on Clinton in general elections. I start thinking along the same lines.
Scary, what the result might be…
