Hillary Clinton is not even President - yet - and we are already being treated to what a second Clinton presidency would look like.
The Clinton campaign has recently been hit with charges of planting questions, i.e., picking people in the audience to ask pre-arranged questions and then making sure that the candidate calls on that person.
"Well it was news to me" Clinton said. "And neither I nor my campaign approve of that. And it will certainly not be tolerated."
Right.
It wasn't news to her. She and her campaign do approve of it. And, it's certainly going to be tolerated in the future. Now that they've been caught, though, they're going to have to be more careful in the future.
Oh by the way, let's not forget that when a similar incident happened at another event, a Clinton spokesman lied about the plant. The Clinton campaign worker that solicited the plant was really just a friend of the plant. They weren't talking about questions for the candidate. They were just talking over old times.
Right.
With regard to the ongoing case of the man who claims to have put on a $2 million fundraiser in exchange for Clinton help in the future, the woman who is determined to be President of the United States, or know the reason why, had this to say:
"I have no recollection whatsoever of discussing any arrangement with him whereby he would support my campaign for the United States Senate in exchange for anything from me or then-President Clinton, and I do not believe I made any such statement because I believe I would remember such a discussion if it had occurred."
That is going to be the standard press release of any second Clinton presidency:
"I have no recollection whatsoever of ____________________________________, and I do not believe I made any such statement because I believe I would remember such a discussion if it had occurred."
Here's a thought that just chills me to the bone. If Hillary is elected, Bill will be back in the White House, and he'll have exactly what he had the first time - power, privilege, and perks - with none of the responsibilities. He'll probably spend more taxpayer money the second time than he did the first flying all around the world - repairing our image, as it were.
America cannot afford another Clinton presidency, in every sense of the word. Is America really going to be stupid enough to do it?
