If Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Shut Up She’ll Re-Elect Trump
It's all about her. Just like always.
Some days it seems as if Hillary Clinton gets up in the morning determined to light up Seb Gorka’s Twitter feed. After all, every time she opens her mouth she starts a brush fire in MAGA land, selling more Lock Her Up t-shirts and making Trumpkins forget about the latest bizarre/pathetic stunt/proclamation from their God-Emperor. A consuming rage against HRC takes hold and we’re back to her standing in a bright primary-colored pant suit telling us in snotty tones her ludicrous fiction about how the criminal investigation in to her server was actually just “a security review.”
It’s a nightmare for everyone but President Trump. For him, it’s manna.
I’m kidding of course. At about the part where Clinton cares about triggering MAGA Land. Because for Hillary Clinton, it’s always about her. We knew this when they ran against each other: Clinton is as narcissistic as the Donald, and often just as un-self aware. She loves to hear herself talk, thinks her BS doesn’t stink, and she lies—well, perhaps not as much as he does, but still with repulsive ease.
Clinton still gets plum perches at conferences such as the Time 100 Summit this week, where she was asked about Robert Mueller’s findings and responded that any person who wasn’t president would be indicted for the obstructive conduct the special counsel discovered. And then, just to prove that this wasn’t a temporary misstep from someone who was really trying to stay out of the spotlight, she turned around a day later and wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post calling for Watergate-style hearings. In it she lectured members of both parties that “the nation’s interests will be best served by putting party and political considerations aside and being deliberate, fair and fearless.” It would be one thing if she inserted herself into this moment because she had something important to say. But then, if she had any sense of how to speak important truths to the country, she’d be president right now.
Only Hillary Clinton has the power to make a frothing Trump surrogate look half-way reasonable.
