Hillary Clinton: Trump 'is obsessed' with me

Source: Politico




The former Democratic nominee spoke bitterly about the president during a 25th anniversary celebration of her husband's election in Little Rock, Ark.

By NOLAN D. MCCASKILL 11/18/2017 08:53 PM EST

Former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Saturday described President Donald Trump as “obsessed” with her continued public presence.

“Apparently, you know, my former opponent is obsessed with my speaking out,” Clinton said in an appearance alongside her husband, former President Bill Clinton, at a forum in Little Rock, Arkansas, commemorating the 25th anniversary of his election. “Apparently there was another, somebody told me, tweet today. Honestly, between tweeting and golfing, how does he get anything done? I don’t understand it. Maybe that’s the whole point.”

Clinton said in her Little Rock speech she wouldn’t be silenced. “I’m gonna keep speaking out,” she said.

She dominated Saturday’s conversation, which was moderated by James Carville, a Bill Clinton campaign veteran and Hillary Clinton campaign adviser.

They breathlessly report everything she does, everything she says. When she was indeed lying low for a period of time after the election, they resorted to making up stories about her, such as baseless speculation that she was going to run for mayor of New York City.

She is a private citizen now. She doesn't have to live her life as if it is governed by how her every move will reflect upon the Democratic Party.

He really, really, desperately wants to run against her again in 2020.

Ah, the good old days of 2016.
When you got cheap applause for bashing Hillary.
When the press was nice to you.
When you could do what you want, play Golf when you want, eat what you want...
No responsibilities, no meetings to attend, no reports to read...
No investigations...

If the 2020 candidate isn't Hillary Cheeto will be SO-O-O disappointed!
On the other hand he'll be in jail by then, so he won't be the 2020 candidate either.

Don't cha just love how they describe Clinton as having spoken "bitterly" about Trump during a speech? Talk about sexism... Do MEN have their responses to things described as "bitter?" How about "spoke angrily, or concernedly," because she IS concerned that this election was stolen from her and US - and it was. Even to this day, she is treated differently by the media.
