Hillary Won’t Say if She Wiped the Server
Calling Hillary Clinton a bad candidate is like calling Hannibal Lecter a bad dinner guest; it’s a bit of an understatement. Tuesday afternoon, the presumed Democratic nominee gave a disastrous press conference that will fuel opposition ads until November 2016, or until she drops out of the campaign. In this excerpt, she deftly puts an end to the growing email server scandal:
Ed Henry: “Did you wipe the server?”
Hillary Clinton: “What, like with a cloth or something?”
Yeah, that should end the controversy. Earlier Tuesday, she had a semi-public meeting with activists from #BlackLivesMatter, the group that has been shutting down the campaign events of her rivals. It… didn’t go well.
Hillary Clinton: “If that is your position then I will talk only to white people about how we are going to deal with the very real problems.”
In both videos, she’s prickly, imperious, and thoroughly unlikable. As Peter Robinson asked below, can she possibly win the Democratic nomination? And, if I may add, does she even make it to the end of the year?
Published in General
“When you had something confidential, something that most would consider classified, to communicate in writing, how did you send it?”
“Did your people who scoured your 60,000 emails to see which were work-related all have security clearances?”
“Why did you decide to get rid of all your personal emails? If a backup server exists, would you like to provide it to the FBI so they can vouch for your story that there is no classified information on it, and that all the ones you have not yet turned over are not work related?”
“Now that you see how much trouble your use of a personal server has caused, what do you think such an unwise decision says about your qualification to be president?”
Every time you read about some South American or African crackpot politician and wonder how in the world were the people of those countries dumb to elect them, now you know. Enjoy the bananas boys and girls.
And that Orange outfit. Is she subconsciously preparing herself for the growing chance she may one day be wearing the ” New Black” ?
The other big take away from her reply was when she said she doesn’t believe in changing hearts, Just in passing new controls and regulations.
No persuasion, just force.
Meh. Laws are for Republicans to follow.
Richard,
Now that’s a super-human sense of entitlement for you.

Yeah, I was going to mention the same thing. She’s not alone in this regard – this seems to be the SOP for modern progressives – no debate, just jam it down their throats.
I’ll have to say that her lack of wisdom is the lesser disqualification. This public shell game, denial and obstructive delaying of the truth are the bigger deal.
You can learn from an unwise technological choice. What we are seeing now is a reinforcement of what is already known about HRC.
If Nixon had this kind of a red flag of disregard and public obstruction on his record, would he have ever been elected?
Hindsight is 20/20, but if Her Rotten Clintonness gets elected, it won’t be because people did not know.
seriously, how did that outfit get past her handlers?
are we living in the multiverse where we live the script for orange is the new black?
Chairman Hillary
omg…her SHOES match the suit. It’s what’s her name, from the Philippines…with all the shoes…what is her name. Imelda Marcos.
But really, the clothes and the shoes don’t matter. The HRC is a menace because of her ideology.
I know! I know! I kept shouting to my husband to pause the TV so I could capture this picture of that disaster. What were they think’n ?
she really does look like Chairman Mao…just the cut of the suit.
Could anyone in Hollywood write a better script for the past 2 months?
It’s like we are in a montage of dream sequences…
This was a meme and gif generator extraordinaire. We will be seeing stills of this and quotes from this performance for weeks, and even liberals are spreading them.
Hillary is so toast.
What’s more, I think this is entirely the doing of Obama. He has hung her out to dry so that he could ensure Biden gets a shot at being Obama’s third term. Obama doesn’t trust Hillary to protect his legacy.
Hillary is so toast.
Hillary 2016 – You can’t prove she’s a criminal!
Only Tommy Boy could ruin it better: http://youtu.be/c1EyN9xTK94
Obama only gets his legacy if a Republican is elected to replace him.
EDIT: I expanded on that thought HERE.
This. Exactly.
The only thing that suit is missing is “Rikers Island” stenciled nicely on the back.
I wonder—if a miracle occurs, and HRC is fitted with an orange jumpsuit from the Pen, how long before she is served with divorce papers by good ol’ Bill? She stood by him (idiot!), but I’d bet he won’t return the gesture….
Hillary 2016 – not indicted yet!
Hillary 2016 – A woman of conviction.
This from Dawn M Turner of the Chicago tribune:
So white people act respectful and courteous. Black people act… how? Who’s the racist here?
know guilt, know peace.
At least she’s starting to see what she looks like in Orange
So in the top photo is she modeling her future wardrobe?
Ah, yes. The Sgt Schultz defense.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
