Is Hillary Trying to Lose?
I’m thinking it’s either that or she needs some new media advisors. Okay, it’s not that; she needs some new media advisors. Here are two video clips that demonstrate the problem. Her performance in them highlight some of her worst traits.
The first clip is a speech in front of what should be a friendly audience. She seems to think that her phony “union boss” act will resonate as productive rather than phony. This performance is reminiscent of the phoniness of Hilry talkin suthrn. The second clip is an attempt at replicating Obama’s success on “Between Two Ferns.” This was an unmitigated disaster. It was more or less a roast, and Hillary demonstrated her paucity of wit. Zach Galifianakis was actually pretty funny (There, I said it!). I’m pretty sure his outreach to millennials was far more successful than hers. Sweet revenge for Bernie fans, no doubt.

Is there any amount of debate preparation that can help her overcome her deficiency in engaging a national audience? Is it possible to either hide or enhance Hillary’s personality?

LOUD NOISES!
She is the female Richard Nixon. No wonder she wanted his scalp so badly. Likes repel.

Is this real? Or some digital creation? I’m serious. It’s hard to believe. Still it doesn’t matter. The Democrats will register a hundred million people, the less likely to vote the better, then vote all of them. That’s the way they do it. In machine controlled precincts.
Hillary is what Eunise Burns would have become become between 1972 and today.

This was my reaction to the pneumonia scare. She’s so used to lying about everything that she does it instinctively even when she doesn’t need to.
You went and made me listed to it again. Happy now?
Clearly she is running for First Robot President.

The Free Beacon has a version that is easier to watch:
EDIT: So I am the third person to post this mash up. It is funny; it deserves multiple postings.
I also liked her answer about Trump’s marriage vows: “I couldn’t see or hear very well.” That’s way too evocative of “Can’t breathe very well” and “Can’t stand very well.”
The “How does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself?” moment was my favorite.
Just shoot me now.
Awful. That Between Two Ferns was five minutes I’m never getting back.
Hillary looks angry all the time, and it’s not a good look. I know I am made very uncomfortable looking at the face of an angry woman.
Watching Trump give a speech it’s obvious that he’s having fun. I was surprised at first how often Trump uses words such as love, wonderful, and terrific. He says a lot of very positive things, which is the opposite of how he’s usually portrayed.
It isn’t so much that she sounds angry; it is that she sounds scornful and condescending.
It is like she is saying, “If this is what I have to say to get you pathetic little pudknockers to vote for me, then dammit I’ll say it.”
She strikes me as being irritated that she has to campaign at all. Especially against someone like Donald Trump.
She was pathetic. In the Funny or Die piece she actually said something to the effect that she should not have agreed to the interview…I’m pretty sure she was serious.
Regarding the 1st woman president thing, I loved his calling her the 1st girl president. I am so tired of her whole 60’s style feminist schtick.
I was thinking the same thing. Does she mean she can’t see or hear very well in general? A hearing aid and new glasses maybe?
That’s great. Funny that she’s yelling about right to work. Even many of my liberal friends agree that Unions are a problem, especially in the public sector. But maybe that’s because they see it up close.
So, is she saying that the only reason she isn’t 50 points ahead is because people don’t know how bad Trump is?
Me too. The fact that she started reciting her campaign spiel on the matter (little girls and little boys) to a comedian in a comic interview was precious.
These two clips make it that much easier to vote for Trump…now I’m not going to hold my nose.
They continue to have trouble with those dang human behavior emulation subroutines.
The between the ferns video was scripted and intentional. By treating these scandals as a joke she continues to convince Americans that criticism of her is much ado about nothing.
I didn’t find it one bit funny.
I pointed out long ago that, for all his faults, Barack Obama never once came out and said, “Vote for the black man.” She is even worse than he is in this respect.
I thought it was funny. De gustibus non est disputandum.
The New York Times Politics page reported this today. Sadly, Hillary didn’t give them much to work with, but they managed to elevate her performance from “dead” to “deadpan.”
A Deadpan Hillary Clinton Visits ‘Between Two Ferns’
The “girl” thingie was great. I bet that frosted the socks of more than a few fems…
I’m sick of the 1st woman prez schtick as well – it’s been going on from day 1 of her run. And boiled down to the nub of things, that’s pretty much all she has going for her.
Zach should do some pushups.

I think he might have stolen the TPP joke from Dennis Miller’s O’Reilly segment a few weeks ago…

Between Two Ferns was a triumph – Politico tells me so:
