“I Don’t Think We’ve Seen The Bottom Yet”: Hillary Clinton Expands The List Of Other Responsible For Her Defeat While Her Unpopularity Continues At Record Levels

Hillary_Clinton_Testimony_to_House_Select_Committee_on_BenghaziAfter declaring that Democrats who want her to be quiet are sexist, Hillary Clinton is back on her speaking tour blaming her defeat on everyone from the James Comey, self-hating women, Russians, Bernie Sanders, and misogynists for her defeat. Everyone except herself.  Now Clinton has added “Pizzagate” to the lengthening reasons for her defeat.

Clinton continues (with Nancy Pelosi) to be the rallying cry for independents and Republicans moving into the midterm elections. Clinton has been told that she is hurting Democratic efforts to retake Congress but has refused to yield to the calls of various Democratic leaders as we discussed earlier.  In the meantime, Clinton now stands alone among former presidential candidates who have uniformly become more popular after their losses.  Clinton is the only one who has become even more unpopular.  The reason is likely her unsuccessful effort to shift the blame for her loss against the second more unpopular person to ever run for the White House.  In the meantime, Clinton has warned that, with Trump, “I Don’t Think We’ve Seen The Bottom Yet”  Those are chilling words for Democrats growing increasingly alarmed over her impact on marginal voters needed to retake Congress.

 

While Clinton continues to mock the continued obsession and criticism of her on conservative sites, she also continues her public speaking tour and maintaining this high profile role.

Last year, Gallup noted that Clinton was actually growing less popular unlike prior candidates.  Only around 40 percent of people reported favorable views of Clinton at that time. It has gotten worse since then. It is actually a challenge to become less popular when you have a president who is facing massive negative polling figures.  However, a staggering 57 percent of people view Clinton unfavorably.

Clinton continues in the latest event to hammer away at the impact of “stolen emails.”  Like her effort to blame women who are self-loathing or too weak, this message has not resonated with voters. The reason would seem obvious.  Many of us are upset over the hacking and interference in the election.  However, the reason that the emails were hurtful is that they showed DNC and Clinton officials saying things in private that were diametrically at odds with what they were saying publicly.  The emails appears to show that the Democratic establishment rigged the primary in favor of Clinton but that public statements made by Clinton and her aides were untrue.  It is hard to convince the public that they should never have seen those contradiction. Thus, polling shows that the public is angry with the Russians, but do not view Clinton as a victim.

The concern for Democrats is that polling is tightening around the country. They still have the edge but the DNC is struggling to convince voters that they have moved beyond the Clinton dominated DNC and addressed the rigging allegations.  However, reports indicate that the DNC continues to struggle with internal divisions.

 

In her latest comments, Clinton also attacked Vladimir Putin as a “misogynist” who clearly did not like her.  Unlike the comments against women who did not support her, this criticism may be well based.  I have often wondered why Putin clearly took such an immediate hatred for Clinton and Clinton is right to point out his poor treatment of Angela Merkel.  Notably, Putin was quoted last year as saying that he does not have “bad days” as president because he’s “not a woman.”  He then added “I am not trying to insult anyone. That’s just the nature of things. There are certain natural cycles.” Yup, sounds pretty misogynist to me.
Clinton is clearly not going to yield to Democrats asking her to reduce her high visibility events and rehashing of the election.  It remains unclear how significant these weekly speeches will have the election.  The Democrats are clearly worried about marginal impacts on a narrowing margin of voters.  Clinton clearly is within her right to speak and her continued poor polling may not be a concern for her.  Clinton is clearly appealing to the hard core of supporters in forums like the women-only workspace in New York.

  2. Hillary fails to comprehend that we are tired and fed up with Clintonism.

    1. speak for yourself or identify your ‘we’.

      I would love some Clintonism….I like it better than tyrannical empire building greedy gut morons wearing king hats.

        1. seriously? Do you think others automatically ‘know’ who you consider to be ‘we’? Or are you talking about the chorus of voices in your head???? THAT’s a ‘self-defining’ ‘we’…….or wee…..or wheeeeeee. or…well y’all get it, right ?
          ;P

  3. Oh for God’s sake, can someone give this woman a broom so she can fly away.

  4. ” ‘That’s just the nature of things. There are certain natural cycles.’ Yup, sounds pretty misogynist to me.”

    Sounds like a simple biological observation to me. Are physicians misogynists when they recognize the existence of a menstrual cycle? Are people with basic awareness of biology misogynistic when they understand what PMS is?

    “Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the one to two weeks before a woman’s period.” Wikipedia

    Key phrase: “emotional symptoms”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premenstrual_syndrome

    I guess you have to flunk biology to get accepted to law school.

  5. Remember the days when character was king?

    Flashback to Feb 3, 1994, an 83 year old woman, invited to speak in Washington DC to the National Prayer Breakfast. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary sat next to VP Al Gore and Tipper, while Mother Teresa of Calcutta lectured the audience about the greatest destroyer of peace.

    Peggy Noonan:

    “She continued, “But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because Jesus said, ‘If you receive a little child, you receive me.’ So every abortion is the denial of receiving Jesus, the neglect of receiving Jesus.”

    Well, silence. Cool deep silence in the cool round cavern for just about 1.3 seconds. And then applause started on the right hand side of the room, and spread, and deepened, and now the room was swept with people applauding, and they would not stop for what I believe was five or six minutes. As they clapped they began to stand, in another wave from the right of the room to the center and the left.

    But not everyone applauded. The president and first lady, seated within a few feet of Mother Teresa on the dais, were not applauding. Nor were the vice president and Mrs. Gore. They looked like seated statues at Madame Tussaud’s. They glistened in the lights and moved not a muscle, looking at the speaker in a determinedly semi-pleasant way.”

    When character was king.

    1. Not sure how my video is now under your response and vice versa….some creepy kinda switcheroo I guess. I love Mother Teresa…..and her statement makes some sense in a heartbreaking spiritual discourse kinda way….but then every woman who is raped into a premature adulthood is also a death of Jesus, every battered and abused little boy who becomes too frightened to act in any meaningful way other than with self preservation and paranoia….every deliberate act of violence, large or small, human or animal….these are all Christ deaths. Every bomb that falls on a foreign Country to forward acquisition and enrichment….Crucifies.Every lie and twisting of the truth…is a blood drenched cross on the hill. But you, Lawyer, Pharisee, Mindphucker….you want to ignore the Crucifixtion so that you can forward your ‘argument’. How very Pontious of you! How very very self righteous…emphasis on the word ‘self’.
      When the Earth coughs up her final green shoot to the toxic self serving users….we can all say “It is Done”. And feel like we all are so special because after all, Jesus said that too…..

  8. The ONLY way Billary can continue to earn large speaking fees – some of the easiest money around if one can command it – is to stay at the forefront of the media, regardless of the reason. Billary have lived off the public trough for so long, they don’t know how to earn money in any other way.

    There is nothing more important to the Clintons than the acquisition of more money. Subject matter, truth, morality, personal integrity, and any sense of shame are not considerations in this regard.

  9. Hillary Clinton is correct. Had she run unopposed, she would have won handily. Let’s not forget that.

    1. I give the unprosecuted multiple felon formerly known as “Hillary in a landslide” credit for inventing the political strategy of attacking the voters. No politician in history ever thought of that one.

      Truly the “smartest woman on Earth.”

      1. Perhaps you’re right, William, that no politician in history thought to attack the voters. But, as Rowan Atkinson demonstrates in the following bit, comedians have thought of it earlier than Clinton, as especially noted in his final statement to the audience:

        1. LOL — I’ve always fantasized about winning an Oscar, so I could graciously thank the Academy for the award — and also thank all of the other nominees in my category for being such an incredible bunch of fat losers that they had no other choice than to give the award to me.

          Mr. Bean rocks! — and now you’ve done it. I’m probably going to spend the rest of the evening checking out Mr. Bean clips on youtube. Mr. Bean’s Holiday is great!

    2. As long as there wasn’t a “none of the above” option. 2016 was the election from Hell featuring the two worst Presidential candidates in our history running against each other.
      Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, everyone lost.

  10. “I Don’t Think We’ve Seen The Bottom Yet”

    Yes it is true; please look at The Bottom of your shoe as you have just stepped into a heaping/steaming/stinking pile of hillary clinton.

    Perhaps if we ignore her she will simply slither under the nearest rock never to be heard from again?

  11. Darren Smith, with this woman, it’s all about money and power.

  12. If you fall in love with Hillary, then you will be hung tonight. Because of that good for nothing man. That good for nothing man. Then I said good bye.

  14. Without easy access to graft or enrichment, coupled with the fact that her brand depreciated in value; it is necessary for her to keep advertising to her niche market to generate the same revenue stream.

    Portraying herself as the victim works toward capturing her target demographic which for her is a reliable marketing scheme, especially when the visibility can be had for free via the news media.

    1. True. Her only core value is a dollar sign. But she has no influence to sell. Sells 10k dollar memberships in her sympathy party.

    2. Hillary’s life: One perfunctory, political child and Bill. Pity is the operative word here.

  15. JT: do you continue to harp about HRC to avoid reporting the real political news, which are the daily mis-steps and scandals of the Fat Dotard? Who cares any more about HRC? Even though she won the popular vote, she’s not going to run for office again. She’s not going to endorse any candidates for office in the future. Does Fatso’s base need the endless spoon-feeding of red meat doled out by you and Fox News to maintain their hope that, somehow, Fatso will care enough to learn about American government and American history, turn around his consistently poor poll numbers, stop firing people at a record pace, stop upsetting the balance of trade, stop insulting people who disagree with him, stop the Mueller investigation, stop disgracing the Office of the President, stop the seemingly endless parade of women with whom he’s had affairs while married, or, in other words, stop failing?

  16. SIDEBAR

    “Lisa Monaco.”

    Lisa Monaco texts with Strzok and Page:

    The Gateway Pundit Reports:

    “Judicial Watch chief investigator Chris Farrell told the Lou Dobbs audience on Friday to pay attention to former Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco. Chris Farrell: If you want to really focus on Obama administration targeting of the Trump campaign, the transition and the administration, I think people should sets their sights on Lisa Monaco. She was the Trump (he meant Obama) administration Homeland Security Director and she appears in the notes and calendar of Andy McCabe in May of 2016. And if you note back a couple weeks you’ll note that there was a text from (Lisa) Page saying that Andy McCabe and Strzok, her boyfriend, saying that the White House wanted to know everything that they were doing.”

      1. Here’s some meat from the WT article I linked above::
        “By the end of Mr. Obama’s second term, according to sources who spoke anonymously with The Washington Times, the practices of leaking, ignoring and twisting intelligence for political gain were ingrained in how the administration conducted national security policy.
        Those criticisms have resurfaced in the debate over whether overall intelligence fumbling by the Obama White House in its final months may have amplified the damage wrought by suspected Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election last year.
        On repeated occasions during the Obama era, high-level sources and some lawmakers lamented to The Washington Times, the president’s inner circle ignored classified briefings and twisted intelligence to fit political goals.”

  18. This woman exemplifies the problems we suffer in our political life and political culture. The matrix of public opinion does not rule out grossly unscrupulous people. Like high school, it rules out odd and awkward people, which means in practice those who appear odd and awkward in media framing (which never seem to include characters like Adam Crazy-Eyes Schiff). The Clintons are very driven and he at least has a certain skill set, so we’ve been saddled with them because there are enough morally obtuse people in this country that they’ve never been sent packing. And, of course, the manner in which people are selected for office favors people who know how to run madcap publicity and fundraising campaigns, not people with any skills at crafting legislation or supervising public agencies.

    She’s pathetic now. Her whole adult life has been in service to her megalomania. As we speak, she’s 70. She’s ill. Her family life is truncated. She doesn’t have many authentic friends – Susan Thomases perhaps. She’s out of commission as an elected official. She never had a well-developed interest in political theory. She doesn’t appear to have any avocations anyone knows about. She’s never developed a particular expertise in any area of policy. She hasn’t practiced law in 27 years and her practice was always crooked. The capacity to enjoy life in old age just isn’t hers. Compare Hillary to George W. Bush, a man with certain shortcomings but also very much alive and at home in his world.

    1. You want a much better example of someone fitting the cliché of the egotistical ugly American? Look no further than the fat Dotard. His wealthy daddy bought his admittance to the Wharton School and handed him a million dollars (at least) in the late 1960’s to start a real estate business in New York when real estate was flourishing. Literally any fool could succeed with those assets at that time. Multiple failed businesses, two (probably more like three) failed marriages, no real friends, not very intelligent, has some sort of ADD issue, not very well educated on American history or politics (despite the best efforts of people he’s since fired to teach him the basics of recent American history), disrespects women, disrespects minorities, LGBT people, foreign people, his wife, and anyone who disagrees with him, which are most people, excepting racist white men. So jealous of President Obama that the main criterion for any policy position is to reverse anything and everything President Obama did because President Obama was more intelligent, better-liked, more accomplished and more successful. Fatso cannot succeed, despite anointing himself a “very stable genius”. Rex Tillerson was correct in referring to him as a “moron”. We get the picture.

      Mrs. Clinton obtained a law degree and successfully practiced law in a prestigious firm. She ran for N.Y. Senate and won and was a successful Secretary of State. She’s remained married to her first and only husband for several decades, despite challenges to her marriage. She won the popular vote for President, but was cheated out of serving by Russian interference and by the anomaly of the Electoral College. Ignoramus white men like you virtually hate her guts, but we know why, and it’s due to her superiority in intelligence and accomplishments over you and the Dotard. No amount of harping about her by Fox News or people like you is going to create a “Uranium One Scandal”, a “Clinton Foundation Scandal”, a “lost e-mail scandal”, or any other scandal, because this is all smoke and mirrors in a pathetic attempt to mitigate the inferiority and lack of fitness for office of Donald Trump.

      1. Another manifestation of your personal resentments and emotional disorders noted, Nutchacha. Next time strive for concision.

      2. Mrs. Clinton obtained a law degree and successfully practiced law in a prestigious firm.

        She obtained no position for a year or two after completing law school and failed one of the bar exams she took. She was fired for cause from her first law job, by a man who said in later years that he’d employed many lawyers over a period of 14 years, but only three he’d never give a reference for, and she was one of the three. The next job she landed two-years-and-change later, after her ‘husband’ was elected Attorney-General of Arkansas. Among her functions was arguing in front of state regulatory commissions he had appointed.

        She ran for N.Y. Senate and won

        A testament to the willingness of Democratic Party bosses to hand the nomination to her even though (unlike Robert Kennedy) she’d never lived in New York. Democrats have one 23 of the last 28 statewide contests in New York, so had Mr. Lazio managed to pull it off, it would have been quite a tour-de-force.

        and was a successful Secretary of State.

        If you define ‘successful’ in the most perverse and elastic way anyone could imagine. Yes, she and a mess of others did ‘successfully’ avoid accountability for Benghazi &c. Democrats think like school administrators: performance is measured in inputs, and activity is accomplishment.

        She’s remained married to her first and only husband for several decades, despite challenges to her marriage.

        They haven’t lived in the same house in 18 years. I don’t think she accompanied him to Jeffrey Epstein’s island.

        She won the popular vote for President,

        With a plurality provided entirely by California, where ballot security is wretched.

        but was cheated out of serving by Russian interference

        Mueller will turn up something. Keep the faith!

        and by the anomaly of the Electoral College

        Which has been in place since 1789.

        . Ignoramus white men like you virtually hate her guts, but we know why,

        Yes, you exemplify the Dunning-Kruger effect. We knew that.

        and it’s due to her superiority in intelligence and accomplishments over you

        Well, it would never have occured to me to launder a six-figure bribe in the form of months and months worth of bogus commodity trades, I’ll give you that.

        and the Dotard.

        Who has built a business with 22,000 employees and $9.5 bn in annual revenue.

        No amount of harping about her by Fox News or people like you is going to create a “Uranium One Scandal”, a “Clinton Foundation Scandal”, a “lost e-mail scandal”, or any other scandal, because this is all smoke and mirrors in a pathetic attempt to mitigate the inferiority and lack of fitness for office of Donald Trump.

        She’s a crook. You yourself are too twisted into a pretzel to digest that. Your pathologies are not anyone else’s problem.

        1. Hey, I know how to resolve this impasse just as to the issue of whether the Dotard is as successful as he claims to be: demand that the Dotard hand over his tax returns for the past, oh, say, 10 years or so. Then we’ll see whether the Dotard “built a business with 22K employees and $9.5 billion in annual revenue.”

          Where did you get these figures, anyway? Don’t you know that the Dotard is a chronic, habitual liar, especially when it comes to embellishing him and his alleged success?

          If HRC is a “crook”, then why hasn’t she been indicted? Oh, I know: it’s because of the Deep State and Obama is still the puppet-master, secretly running things. See, when I’m bored, I tune in to Fox News, just for giggles. Where did you get the alleged facts about laundering a six-figure bribe? Where are the indictments?

          Bill doesn’t live with Hillary? That’s probably news to both of them. but they are both still married. They are both well-educated, with post-college degrees and are licensed as attorneys, unlike the Dotard and his purchased accessory named Melania. who never attended college. On this point, there’s nothing wrong with someone not attending college, but there is something wrong with lying about it, like the Dotard did when he claimed she had an engineering degree. They changed the story to an architectural degree when they found out there were no engineering schools in Slovenia. There is an architectural college in Slovenia, but they never heard of Melania. Again, no shame in not attending college, but there is shame in lying about it.

          1. The figures on the revenue stream and employment base of the Trump Organization come from PrivCo, an agency which evaluates privately-held firms. His tax returns will tell you about his personal income stream, not about his business. This isn’t that difficult.

            If HRC is a “crook”, then why hasn’t she been indicted?

            1. Because Susan McDougal cooled her heels in a federal lockup for 18 months rather than offer immunized testimony in front of a grand jury and James McDougal died in jail (just after he’d agreed to turn state’s evidence). Jim Guy Tucker and Webb Hubbell did time. Vincent Foster put a bullet in his head.

            2. Because the Department of Justice was run by Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, i.e. was a component of the Democratic Party’s lawfare operation. See the case of Lois ‘Fifth Amendment’ Lerner.

            They are both well-educated, with post-college degrees and are licensed as attorneys,

            She hasn’t practiced law in 27 years and her practice was crooked. He never practiced. His engagement with the legal profession consisted of 3 years as a teacher at the University of Arkansas. He was also compelled to surrender his law license in 2000.

            Where did you get the alleged facts about laundering a six-figure bribe?

            Her 1981 adventures in commodity trading have been a matter of public record and common knowledge for 25 years. Sorry you’re ignorant, but that’s not my doing.

            the Dotard and his purchased accessory named Melania. who never attended college. On this point, there’s nothing wrong with someone not attending college, but there is something wrong with lying about it, like the Dotard did when he claimed she had an engineering degree. They changed the story to an architectural degree when they found out there were no engineering schools in Slovenia.

            No clue how you got the idea that a country with 2 million people in it and over $40 bn in annual gross domestic product has no engineering schools. Likely from the same talking point source where you got your other obnoxious contentions.

        2. Pro tip: when your cut-and-pastes come from obscure, paranoia-conspiracy, loser-loner websites that are considered jokes by rational people, you label yourself as a pathetically-gullible dupe.

          this is to “but I’m really serious about banghazi, guys!” sufferer

          1. What’s amusing is that you’re addressing her and you fancy you’re addressing me.

      3. Natacha – the US Constitution is not an anomaly. Hillary knew exactly how she had to win and she FAILED. She stayed married because her entire being was tied to being married to the President of the US. What would she have been if she divorced Bill? An honorable person, yes, but a nobody. She would have never been able to run for the Senate from NY. And later become SoS, where she was a disaster.

        1. What would she have been if she divorced Bill? An honorable person, yes, but a nobody.

          Again, she was dismissed for cause by the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee before she married Bill. Her tenure at the Legal Services Corporation (when it degenerated into a financial pipeline to the lawfare operations of the har-de-har public interest bar) began just 3 years after she married him. See also Christopher Lasch’s critique of the 1973 Harvard Education Review article, reading it back to back with Lynette Burrows’ account of the ‘children’s rights’ movement in Britain published in Human Life Review. She was not only a shady character, but a creep to boot.

          If she’d been a better person, she’d never have taken an interest in W J Clinton, whose oleaginous quality is right out there in front of you. She’d be living in the Chicago suburbs, perhaps with children or perhaps not, and perhaps with a husband or perhaps not. It’s a reasonable wager her work life would have been spent in a mid-law or small-law firm. The life of her pal Susan Thomases will give you some idea of what might have been.

  19. Toxic femininity progressivism at its finest. Please dear God, may you keep our beloved Hillary the icon of DNC progressivism, forever and ever. Amen.

    A vote for any DNC member is a vote for:

    Hillary.

    Voting rights for illegals with the concomitant further destruction of black American wealth: the greater the population density lacking HS education, the more are wages depressed at the bottom of the financial food chain, while automation continually eliminates low wage jobs, a recipe for financial hell for low wage earners, while illegals continually burn more safety net wealth than Americans.

    Effective elimination of the 2nd Amendment, such that only our over Lords can employ guns for security, and thus finishing our conversion to a 3rd world banana republic in removing our ability to defend ourselves from our Progressive over Lords.

    Taxpayer paid abortion on demand for everyone, even illegals, at any age without parental consent.

    Pot-smoking dope Pelosi becomes SOS again.

    The House impeaches Trump.
