At last night’s Town Hall, Hillary Clinton was asked why she doesn’t seem to be connecting with the young people.
“In fact, I’ve heard quite a few people my age that think you’re dishonest.”
Don’t worry kid. It’s not just people your age. Let’s see how Hillary responds…
Okay, okay, this is the real quote…
“If you’re new to politics, if it’s the first time you’ve really paid attention, you go ‘oh my gosh, look at all of this’ and say, ‘why are they throwing all of that at her’? I’ll tell you why — because I’ve been on the front lines of change and progress since I was your age. I’ve been fighting for kids and women and the people left out and left behind to help them make the most of their lives.”
Wait, what?
Let’s start with the fact that literally none of those things are true. She has done the opposite of that. If it were true, she would cite specific examples. That’s what we call “substantiating” your assertion. Also, MEGA-IRONY ALERT: when Hillary helped her husband assert his patriarchal authority upon Monica Lewinsky for sexual favors, Monica was both a women and a kid. True story. Not to mention all of the other women she victim-blamed. Her response to every single rape and/or sexual harassment accusation toward Bill was precisely…
Only she did believe them. She knew it was true. Which is worse. Let me put it this way: if only ONE THIRD of the accusations toward Bill Clinton are partially true, that means that Hillary was complicit in at least half a dozen sexual harassment cases on behalf of her husband.
Also DOUBLE-MEGA-SECRET IRONY ALERT: her way to address concerns of dishonesty from young voters here … is to be dishonest, talk down to them and make herself look old in the process. The jokes write themselves.
I’m beginning to think I want to run against her instead of Bernie. You?
NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THE PODCAST? FIX THAT! IT’S COMPLETELY FREE ON BOTH ITUNES HERE AND SOUNDCLOUD HERE.
Did any of you hear an answer about her dishonesty?

Facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by
Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for a substantial
fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.
Bill says: “Hillary didn’t succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance.”
Facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I (Dick Morris) helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals’ tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.
She is good at the BS-ing because she’s a pathological liar. The truth hurts people like her. Pathological liars are more comfortable telling lies, not the truth.
I think the question was a plant. She seemed ready and had quite a vibrant response. Nothing is sincere at any of these events.
