In reply to the discussion: The manufactured outrage that purports to be legitimate criticism of Hillary is pathetic [View all]OLDMADAM
(82 posts)This Presidential contest will be won, and we can first agree that is the goal, between the fences, THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.. Lets also agree, the we, at least to varying degrees, reside on the far left of the political field..
Lets also agree, the squishy center, unimpressed with nuance politics, especially this early, has little appetite for extremes on either end.. Perhaps we can also agree the Pubs have succeeded in painting anything that appears to expand Government as a Commie Intrusion, although they couldn't survive without it, they just don't want to realize the facts, or publicly advocate for it..
If Hillary or anyone else on our ticket, attempts to placate us with red meat rhetoric, and lets also agree that is all it may be, the other side will cover the airwaves with that information, painted in Bumper Tag Slogans..
The candidates are left to cautious hints, winks and nods.. All we have is our knowledge of their previous political, and personal history.. That is where most of my problems reside with Hillary, and others.. She, as was Bill, too much of a political weather-vane, with a strong tendency to deal behind closed doors, to lean in the direction of the deep pockets, and talk in the direction of the polls, and three day rolling averages.. My other problem is with the Big Dog, and his Horn-dog libido..
