This is not a joke. Politico today now says Hillary didn't have an authenticity problem. See, she should not have been so authentic!

This, after telling us for months that she had an "authenticity problem" (lack of authenticity).

She was definitely the most honest and least "crooked." But she was up against the VRWC and its army of professional liars. She was flattened by the borg, just like Kerry was, but to their credit it came down to vote stealing and if the votes were counted accurately they would both have won the EC.

So then a politician who isn't fake seems off.

Stop being so authentic, Hillary! So we can criticize you for not being authentic again. You're spoiling our fun!
