Hillary is "mean and vacuous." Couldn't have said it better myself. |
|
Howard Fineman, speaking on Countdown, put into words the feeling I, my family, and many democrats have felt this election season. In describing Hillary's "high road" to the election in Pennsylvania (and especially in the future), he said "If you think you've seen mean and vacuous, you haven't seen anything yet."
That is what I have been striving to enunciate for weeks. I watch some of this inane garbage on the ads and other campaign positions and feel like I have walked into an alternative universe. Alternative geography, alternative math, constantly moving goalposts, courting and "sleeping with" the enemy (Fox News), attacking the very core of the democratic party (the progressive base), etc. That is the height of vacuousness. As for mean, I need say nothing. So, I will close with a big "thank you" to Howard Fineman for putting into words the very disquiet I have had with her and her campaign.
Hillary, you fought a good fight. Stay in the race, but abandon the active campaigning (especially as it is defined in your approach of kneecapping your opponent). Give the democrats a break.

1. Thank you for the update |

Howard Fineman will probably be looking over his shoulder for a long time now that he's crossed the Clinton's.

I have hit the wall with the 'crazy pill"-popping Clinton camp that believes vicious and collateral attacks equate to "good campaigning."

8. The problem is it's not just a means to an end. That's all there is w/ Hillary |
|
it's not in the service of something nobler and worth getting yourself dirty for. It's. Just. The. Power. And anything will be sacrificed to get it.
