A 2016 Hillary Clinton presidency would be bad for women and bad for America.
For all her manly pantsuits, Hillary Clinton has always embraced weak-woman stereotypes.
In 1992, when Hillary publicly forgave one of Bill Clinton’s affairs, she became a bad role model for women. She didn’t have to stay with him. But doing so showed she believed she needed him to succeed, putting titanium over the glass ceiling. A true feminist would have dumped the lying cheat and built her own empire.
Her feminist malpractice continues today. After women struggled for years for professional equality between the sexes, she makes women seem more emotionally and physically delicate than men. Migraines kept her from testifying before the Senate about Benghazi. An ailment keep her from her duties as Secretary of State. And in 2008, she teared up in New Hampshire about the nation’s direction. But liberals said she finally showed “the real Hillary”: An emotional woman. But a truly professional woman should never cry in public.
Hillary Clinton as president would also be bad for America.After the Obama years, we don’t need more corruption. But corruption is the Clinton way.
In her first congressional job — during the Watergate scandal — she was fired for being “an unethical, dishonest lawyer,” according to her former adviser Jerry Zeifman, then the House Judiciary Committee’s chief counsel. As an Arkansas attorney, she was involved in (and tried to cover up) the Whitewater scandal.
She was also at the heart of the 2012 Benghazi scandal. She deliberately misled when asked about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that led to the brutal murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Pressed about how the riots started, she called out: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” If the pressure of being Secretary of State makes her blurt out statements like this, what will the pressure of the presidency bring out of her?
According to a New York Times account of the upcoming book “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” government favoritism from the State Department to foreign nations that donated to the Clinton’s family foundation through pricey speaking fees was commonplace while Hillary was Secretary of State.
Nor does Clinton understand economics, as her campaign remarks for Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Martha Coakley in 2014 reveal: “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.” But if corporations and businesses do not create jobs, then who does? The State?
But it’s no surprise that she would think of government as the main source of employment: She’s been a government employee for 20 years.
As a result, Clinton is completely out of touch with the middle class. In her book “Hard Choices,” she explains that her family was “dead broke” in 2001 after leaving the White House, and so she understands Americans’ financial struggles. But she and Bill had a $200,000-minimum speaking fee back then, and Hillary received an $8 million advance on her first book in 2003. Middle-class Americans would never have these offers.
On Hillary, President Obama may be right (for once): When asked about a Clinton candidacy on ABC’s “This Week,” he said that Americans might want “a new car smell” in 2016.
Ultimately, Hillary’s presidential incompetence will further damage women. America would not elect another woman president for a long time after her. They’ll think: Well, we don’t want another Hillary, do we?
