Hillary just got trashed in 2 tweets

Lis Smith Retweeted Glenn Thrush
Deeply, deeply offensive to families--including mine--that were forever changed by that tragedy.



@Lis Smith
My dad worked in WTC from the day it was built to the day it went down. @HillaryClinton, never invoke 9/11 to justify your Wall St positions

I can't believe there are people who disagree with Hillary's positions.

I can't think of another way to respond to a couple of anecdotal tweets.

Senator Clinton remained silent when Whitman director of EPA said the air quality of safe for those to clean up ground zero. Anyone with two grey matter brain cells, knew it wasn't safe.

It should be obvious to everyone that she will self destruct if she is our nominee.

Fatally flawed candidate.

if by some gross malignity of Fate, she was put in the WH.

...it would be curtains for the economy and the election process, and foreign policy would drive us right into WWIII (if Obama doesn't get us there first).

My greatest fear (as far as this topic is concerned) is that she will win the nomination and lose the GE.


I think she might be an OK President. Who knows for sure? She might even be great. Of course she might be terrible too. No body knows for sure right now.

I'm an Iowan, and she deserved to come in third in our caucuses in 2008. She is a disingenuous person, she represents the corporations (not us!!) and she's running for herself and her own ego (unlike Bernie, who is running to help this country and the people in it).

Thus far, her campaign has kept her public appearances very controlled and regimented. She doesn't take questions from people.

Her campaign has suggested that meeting with small groups of Iowans, behind closed doors--is some kind of "listening tour." Bullshit.

They know what happens when Iowans ask her questions and when things get real.

She is a walking facade who cannot relate to or communicate with everyday Americans.

To me, no matter what she says, she always seems to be hedging and skating a fine line between saying the right things to get votes, but not going over that line to piss off her big donors.

I just don't trust anything she says.

If she is the nominee, it's becoming more and more apparent to me that I'll need an industrial-strength clamp pinching my nose as I vote for her.

At least a quarter of our party loathes Hillary Clinton in the same way they loathe some of the worst Republicans.

Our party will not have that grass-roots enthusiasm that is needed to fuel voter turnout in the GE.

That's what is alarming and why she should not be our nominee.

I would vote for her, but it's obvious that many won't even bother.

...I believe that they will stay home and pass their votes and with low turn out, the Repukes are favored.

IMO, Hillary will give us on the Repuke clowns as our next POTUS.
