On August 28th, 1963, Martin Luther King famously thrilled most of a nation by telling us “I have a dream”.
Not to be outdone by small potatoes like Dr. King, on Saturday, June 13th, 2015, Hillary Clinton attempted to thrill most of a nation by telling us “I have a vagina”.
Why would she do that?
Because now that two months have passed since Ms. Clinton announced her candidacy and, instead of surging, her ratings have dropped significantly, the Clinton campaign evidently feels it is necessary to resort to the “last refuge” status that she is the only female Democrat in the race (which, interestingly, could be obliterated, at will, by Elizabeth Warren).
Her exact words:
“I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States. And the first grandmother as well.”
Well, heck. There you go. No need to worry about meaningless trifles like a career without accomplishments, Benghazi or the Clinton Foundation cesspool. Hillary Clinton is a………WOMAN.
And, scarily enough, there is at least some value to this strategy.
For example, among women (and a good many men) in the affluent 55-and-older gated communities not far from where I live, it is going to work beautifully. These folks, largely from the New York City area, have spent their lifetimes knowing that Democrats are the good guys, Republicans are the bad guys, and the Clintons are a King and Queen.
If Queen Hillary is running…with King Bubba as an extra added attraction…they can\’t wait to pull the lever for her. In fact, if the election were held only among affluent 55-and-older liberals/leftists from New York City, she would win in a walk.
Too bad for Hillary Clinton that most folks do not fit that profile. Too bad for Ms. Clinton that so many are:
-actually interested in what her qualifications are,
-concerned that she has no moral or ethical base, but is a packaged and repackaged commodity, whose positions are whatever the last political consultant whispered in her ear,
-want/demand to know why our people in Benghazi were hung out to dry, with no high alert or any apparent contingency plans for an attack,
-and why the more money unsavory individuals and countries contributed to The Clinton Foundation, the better they did with then-Secretary of State Clinton.
That, folks, is why, even after two months of feel-good scripted “events”, with virtually no answers to the troubling questions true journalists would want to ask her, those poll numbers keep dropping anyway.
Personally, I wish Hillary Clinton the best of health, and certainly hope her genitalia are in perfect working order.
But, for the sake of the country, can we keep her ass out of that big chair in the Oval Office?
