Hillary Clinton, Elitist, Aristocrat, and Unethical

Hillary Clinton declared victory prematurely in Iowa. One television newscaster theorized she had been misinformed by an over enthusiastic staffer. She declared her victory, announcing her husband and daughter would join her on stage to make victory speeches. She then stunned reporters by packing up and leaving with no explanation. While Mrs. Clinton appears to have won an incredibly close victory in Iowa due to a series of questionable coin tosses, her behavior as she left was less than presidential. In terms of the delegate count, her victory has little value. She gains 22 delegates, Bernie gains 21. As Bernie Sanders stated, “This was a virtual tie.”
Bernie Sanders’ virtual tie in Iowa is a significant achievement. Senator Sanders has tapped into some very real issues that Hillary Clinton, and other wealthy Democrats, are just barely becoming aware of and would prefer to ignore. Income inequality and a ridiculously low minimum wage are two examples. Mrs. Clinton gives lip service to these issues, but her history shows a lack of interest. Bernie Sanders’ popularity with young voters has raised real questions about Mrs. Clinton’s vision of the future. Regardless of claims to the contrary, Mrs. Clinton is the status quo candidate for the Democratic party. She speaks of change in broad strokes, but makes no detailed commitments. Her slogans have evolved, but only because of issues brought up by Senator Sanders.
As the status quo candidate, Hillary Clinton supported the deregulation of Wall Street (resulting in the Great Recession). She chose to ignore abuses by Wall Street that took down the economy. She voted for the disastrous Iraq war, supporting George W. Bush. Mrs. Clinton later supported a war on Libya, leading to chaos and violence in Libya and the surrounding area.
As Secretary of State she used her “personal” email server, rather than a secure one provided by the government, declaring her use of a personal email server to be a “matter of convenience.” The concern is with her judgment on using a personal server. Breaking the rules with the explanation, “it was inconvenient,” is elitist and aristocratic. Rules are for peasants, the lower class, the commoners. They don’t apply to the elite.
Bernie Sanders essentially came out of nowhere and devastated Mrs. Clinton’s chances of being the inevitable choice. Bernie Sanders has improved the quality of the Democratic primaries by forcing Mrs. Clinton out of her comfort zone. Bernie is connecting more effectively than Hillary Clinton on how certain voter groups feel about the economy and the country’s future.
David Axelrod, a top strategist for Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns, described Bernie, saying,
“He speaks to what so many feel. …that if you work hard you can get ahead, seems like a cliche that’s not true. He’s an advocate for people, and they’re getting that message.”
No one describes Hillary Clinton as genuine or honest!
She is the most despicable woman on earth , oh well there is Sarah OK she worse. And rump I’m sure is in it to lose it , it’s a game for him, but the best thing about his campaign, he outed all the UN Americans
Eight years ago I was a loyal supporter of Hillary Clinton, and at that time I admired her for the tenacity she exhibited during a long primary campaign. In retrospect, it seems that was drunk on a stout portion of the Clinton Kool-Ade. I admit to my mistake and hope to continue growing and maturing as a dedicated citizen. But what completely discourages me now is the lack of respect on the part of Hillary Clinton for those like myself and the millions of Sanders supports who cannot understand why she disregards the millions of Americans without health insurance and won’t stand up to tell the Big Banks that they owe the American People for bailing them out eight years ago. Instead, she defends them and continues to take their bloated donations. Hillary Clinton refuses to see the justice in a Single Payer System, or acknowledge that such a program for total healthcare coverage for all Americans is what the Banks should also be standing up for since they took from the People’s Treasury in a corporate welfare move to safe their skins. A Single Payer System is what Hillary Clinton should be demanding of Wall Street and the Big Banks for doing what they did to damage our economy and for robbing from us all. Hillary Clinton should do the right thing and join Senator Sanders in an all-out fight to succeed at turning the everybody’s healthcare over to the People and their representative government! I am totally disgusted with the Democratic elites in Washington and completely disenchanted with the “big boy” behavior of Hillary Clinton. Why, I ask, do the political elites in Washington (including Vice President Biden and the President) refuse to acknowledge what is fair and just and deserved. I get loads of stuff from the so-called leaders of the Democratic Party and I’m so turned off by their ignorance and shameful behavior that I refuse to read their mail. When are the political elites in Washington going to wake up and demand a Single Payer System along with Senator Sanders and his supporters? I’ve had my say and I do hope the big boys and girls in the Democratic Party read this post and discontinue being in denial about their disrespect and contempt against the People? When will they stop their backward operations and get with the “real” program? I am asking those who are currently support Hillary Clinton to seriously consider discontinuing funding her campaign and join Senator Sanders and the millions of Americans–Democrats, Independents, and Republicans–who are hopeful that the Senator is fighting for us all. When will the Country become more important than the Party, Clinton Supporters? Will you please ask yourself that question?
Amen
