The Clintons are truly a national disgrace and the sooner HRC and her band of trolls exit the stage, the better.
Bill Clinton has been giving speeches across West Virginia that can be described only as breathtaking in their shameless, shallow pandering. According to the Politico, Bill said
“Hillary is in this race because of people like you and places like this and no matter what they say,” Clinton said. “And no matter how much fun they make of your support of her and the fact that working people all over America have stuck with her, she thinks you’re as smart as they are. She thinks you’ve got as much right to have your say as anybody else. And, you know, they make a lot of fun of me because I like to campaign in places like this, they say I have been exiled to rural America, as if that was a problem. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be here than listening to that stuff I have to hear on television, I’d rather be with you. There is a simple reason: You need a president a lot more than those people telling you not to vote for her.”
Who knew that the majority of the voters in the Democratic primaries and caucuses to date don’t need a president as much as the people in Ripley, West Virgina, where the adulterer-in-chief made those remarks. Why was our former president in Ripley, W.V., a city of about 3,000 people? A couple of reasons come to mind. First Ripley has a female population of 55.6%, making the odds even better for Bubba. It’s also nearly 100% white. Sounds like Ripley is in the wheelhouse for both Clintons.
Bubba must not have know what to do when he hit Madison, another bustling West Virginia hamlet of 2700. Unlike Ripley with its 2-4 African Americans (and yes, it is 2-4, not thousand, not hundred, just plain 2-4), Madison is practically East St. Louis–the African American population of Madison is a whopping 4.18%. Fortunately for Bill, Madison has 100 females for every 84.4 males, so the odds are still in his favor. In Madison, the people voting for Obama didn’t need a president less than Hillary’s supporters, they were downright anti-American:
“It is very interesting, from the very beginning of this race there has been a sharp divide in the vote — the people who need a president, who need to turn the economy around, who need to restore the middle class, who need to give poor people a chance to work their way into the middle class, who need to give our children a better future, who need to restore our standing in the world and the war in Iraq, but do it in a way that rebuilds our military and stands up for America’s security and standing around the world — they have been for her from the get-go.”
Bill Clinton never articulates how these tiny, all white towns are representative of America. The why is simple: they’re not. They may be representative of Hillary Clinton’s core supporters, but they are not representative of America as a whole. The people who live in those places aren’t second class citizens, but neither are those people who live in racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse cities, which someone should point out to the Clinton campaign are most of us. I may not be smarter than your average West Virginian, but I bet I’m better educated and given the choice between a high school diploma and a graduate degree, I’ll take the graduate degree any day of the week.
The Clintons have truly morphed into Karl Rove.
There really is no question that the Clinton campaign has decided on a scortched earth exit from this race. It’s sad but I believe that neither Hillary nor Bill can somehow get their minds around this simple fact: she lost. The candidate who started out with every conceivable advantage, other than incumbency, was beaten by an African American freshman senator. I just wish someone close to the Clintons would have the guts to let them know the game is over.
