How close is Hillary Clinton to turning herself into a joke?

[hedgehog]

Today it was Obama isn't ready to be President, but he'd make a good Vice President, then it was he's not even ready for that yet, then it was he'd be ready by the convention.

Caucus delegates are distinct from primary delegates. The difference between caucus and primary delegates doesn't really matter because all the delegates can vote for whomever they wish. Florda and Michigan should count but only if they don't hold a caucus.

It's all moot anyways because it's only big states that held their primary in a month ending in an R that really matter. Except during a leap year.


On edit: I almost forgot - Obama will lose all the important states in the General Election unless he runs with Hillary, in which case you get 2 for 1 on the Dream Ticket.



I wouldn't believe she actually said 2 for 1 except that I heard her say it on the Olbermann Report.

[Yes We Did]

1. Too late, she already is.

[iconocrastic]

52. 3 for 1 on the dream ticket

What a circus that would be.

[hueyshort]

56. EVERYBODY is laughing at Obama

[Hepburn]

2. Turning herself into a joke, IMO, is NOT a future event with Hillary.

She has already done that and is well into Monster at this time.

JMHO

[scheming daemons]

3. Turning?

[Catch22Dem]

4. How close? About 4 weeks ago. (n/t)

6. If you've been keeping up with the press calls, and heard Wolfson today, that Rubicon

has been crossed.

[Hawkeye-X]

7. she *is* already a joke.

It will get worse and worse this week. Trust me...

9. I just got the feeling tonight that the tide is on the turn.

[K Gardner]

24. Me too ! The media seems to be snapping out of their phase.. and I think

the sheer number of anti-clinton articles on major blogs are finally sinking in. They tried to play Ohio and Texas (OOPS, Obama won Texas.. has anyone reported this yet?) as big comebacks and I think we were all in shock, but really all she had were some stunningly horrible temper tantrums and negative attacks that kept the cameras on her for a week or so. Its like a car wreck.. you want to look away, but you can't. Eventually, you just drive on by...

[Quixote1818]

8. Two weeks ago she was honored to be with Obama, then the next day she was

screaming "SHAME ON YOU!!!!"

It's like she is that little character from Lord of the Rings.

[XemaSab]

10. She wants the Precious

Yes, yes she does. :D

[Quixote1818]

14. Yep, and so did this guy!

[Tatiana]

15. Precious

:rofl:

[K Gardner]

20. Gollum Clinton.. far past a joke and into the realm of fantasy as in "YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP !"

[hedgehog]

16. You mean this guy?

Your mistake, that's not Senator Clinton that's James Carvell.

[NEDem]

22. LOL!!!

[Quixote1818]

26. Here he is again

[hedgehog]

33. How'd you find that picture - I was looking for it!

Google is not my friend, at least not all the time!

[Quixote1818]

45. I think you misspelled his name: james carville

It comes up with his name in right.

[hedgehog]

46. I'm thinking of the ice cream chain!

[Hieronymus]

11. I hate to think I'd have to make the choice of whether to vote for her....

[DJ13]

12. She has become the SNL parody, but no ones laughing

[Fovea]

13. She is taking the center right "Centrists" down with her.

Like Bush/McCain is doing to the conservatives.

I had a mental image of the DLC getting ready to follow her off the cliff, like Johnny Wiesmuller on PCP.

The sad thing is that they traded being the gray eminence of the Democratic party for this.

Iraq, and not looking soft led them into complicity with an act that has brought America to her knees economically, internationally, and the biggest third world nation. IWR was not about supporting the troops, unless you believe that the troops are currently better off than they were in 2002.

Murtha's bailing on the Iraq war should have been taken as the official Dem Hawk repudiation of invading Iraq for oil. The defiant and unashamed soldiered on looking tough and talking stupid.

[PerfectSage]

17. One Rick Astley video away?

[TheDeathadder]

Yawn

[Bread and Circus]

18. This is a classic case of the "Emperor has no Clothes"...

Whereas the Clinton campaign is the fabled "emperor" and their clever strategy is "their clothes". The mainstream media doesn't want to call them on it, even mistaking all of this bamboozlement and sillyness as "uber" strategy. When in reality it is all a big pile of nothing and it's high time someone calls them on it.

In other words they are acting so outlandish that they think this bizarre behavior will be mistook or accepted as shrewd campaigning when in reality it is all just a bunch of stupid bullshit.

However, it usually takes a shrewd young person (aka "Obama's base") to call the adults and all their foolishness (covering for the silly Emperor) for what it is. Usually adults, after being fed bullshit long enough come to accept it or become too afraid to speak out. What is required is the naive honesty of a child that's not quite yet been programmed to accept the status quo to show the adults for the fools they are. This is all metaphor of course, but I hope you get my point.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. She's past 'joke'...

and well on the way to turning herself into the sort of fairy tale ogre parents frighten small children with.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

21. Campbell Brown interviewed SNL's head writer on CNN today. Of 3 possible next POTUSes,

(Obama, McCain, Clinton), he unequivocally rated Hillary as having by far the most possibilities for his staff to exploit. Mayby that's why SNL has gone into the tank for HRC: self-interest in getting hundreds more easy laughs in the future.

[Cha]

30. Well that's tough shite...maybe if

they had some decent comedy writers they wouldn't have to turn into mediawhores.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

44. SNL cd retool past characters for HRC: Al Gore exaggerator, the irate Belushi WkEnd Update

guest who gradually becomes angrier and angrier and ultimately keels over in a hissy fit, the lying Jon Lovitz "That's the Ticket" character who strays farther and farther from any semblance of credibility, etc.

Obama seems way too cool and calm for such easy laughs.

[earthlover]

23. 2 for 1? No, Hillary would be VP and Obama would be pres... no 2 here

Can that woman speak without putting her foot in her mouth?

Is Hillary ready for prime time yet?

[Johnny__Motown]

25. A bad joke, she passed that a week ago

[Cha]

27. "Meet me in Ohio and we'll discuss your behavior"...

"Why do you always ask me the first questions? I really don't mind but why do you always ask me the first questions? "Ready on day one" " "snl-does Obama want a pillow?" "Choir of Angels and the sky opens up" "Obama can be my VP 'cause I'm in second place and I'm callin' the shots" "what's this about Obama being my VP?" "I don't do math" "Only I can win big states" "As far as I know" ..

[peaches2003]

28. It's past time

for Edwards and Richardson to try to save the party by turning their delegates over to Obama if for no other reason than trying to save the country from not only a monster but a lunatic.

There seems to be the thought that Obama supporters will vote for Hillary in the end if she is nominated. More and more that is just not true.

[UALRBSofL]

34. You aught to be ashamed to call Hillary a monster and a lunatic. I hate when people attack candidate

This is disruptive on DU, divisive to the party, and lacks any class. I just thought you should know how your disgusting post comes across.

[IsItJustMe]

38. The truth stings, Doesn't it?

[DearAbby]

49. --- *---

:nopity: Xerox that!

[grassfed]

29. funny ha ha? or

funny sick disturbed amoral vulgar monstrous?

[KaryninMiami]

31. Regardless of whether she is or will soon be a joke- it's certainly not a funny one.

Pathetic is more like it- tragic as well, for someone as brilliant and promising as Hillary to have downgraded herself to the desperate, despicable character she has become. I was a fan before- a big fan and I was excited about her running a few years ago but not any more. And I know that I speak for many former fans of both Hillary and Bill that the idea of having them back in the White House seemed like a terrific idea- who better to put things back on track after the dark ages of the past 6 years. But now it is clear that I (we) were all delusional and who we thought they were was not based on reality. Sort of like what happens when you fall out of love - reality sets in and you start to see the person for who they really are- rather then who you believed (hoped?) them to be.

Very sad joke indeed.

[MagsDem]

32. She not joking, she's right

He is not experienced enough to be president. Some on the job training in the VP role might help, but then again you have to take into account that he isn't really interested in getting any experience. That's pretty clear from the fact that he has been running for president from the moment he was sworn in to the senate.

[hedgehog]

35. Of course, Hillary ran for office from the Empire State solely because

she wanted to serve the people of the great State of New york and it only occurred to her to run for president shortly before the Iowa caucus.....

[KAZ]

43. Leave this one be. She's only here for attention. n/t

[PseudoIntellect]

36. What? So he's only been in the Senate since 2007? Didn't know that was a fact.

[MagsDem]

40. He's been buying SD votes in IA and NH since 2005

... with all that nasty PAC money he has raised that he claims is so evil he won't accept it. You realize that the candidate you support that claims PAC money is bad has his own PAC and he's been donating the money he raised to SD's running for office in early primary states since 2005, right? LOL!

[DearAbby]

50. Guess what?

NO ONE has the experience of being President of the United States, its just ON THE JOB TRAINING. Just because she slept with a president doesnt give her any more experience.

[bvar22]

54. Obama has MORE experience than Bil Clinton had in 1992.

Word!

[PseudoIntellect]

37. "I think—tide turning—see, as I remember—I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of—it's easy...

...to see a tide turn."

(Unless you don't do math.)

48. This board has done much for OMC, and he spits on us.

[gulliver]

47. People who only get poopie jokes and farts already...

...think Hillary is a joke. Ironically.

[Medusa]

51. If she were a TV series,

I'd say she'd jumped the shark.

[Zachstar]

53. 1 state

She has a TINY excuse to stay in after Ohio. However, With more than a month between Mississippi and the next race she will become in my view a joke unless she wins 80 percent of the vote there. (She needs upwards of 80 percent to even put a tiny dent in Obama's delegate lead which has not stopped growing for months.)

The results of this joke in my view will that Clinton will either exit or become a lame duck. Her donations will likely drop some while Obama will come off very strong and with many people ready to donate.

Therefore she goes into the next race with an even smaller budget. Obama will then likely have the ground game well done by then and the airwaves will fill with his ads. I highly doubt Clinton can win big there.

Then so on to the next states where Clinton's diminishing budget has to run ground game and airtime in multiple states (Some deep Obama territory)

Clinton supporters are moving away from her at a rapid rate. She has failed to keep the momentum from Ohio. Her ground game in Mississippi has failed in my view with Obama scoring big even in the news. Her stance towards obama has completely failed her in my view and given the republicans talking points. More and more of her past is being exposed...

She is very close to lame duck status. Mississippi I feel is her last chance to win enough support to go on. She got lucky with Ohio and RI because these recent 2 states were close enough for her to claim she is still in the race while forcing people to basically agree that they need to be run while she is in the race still.

The next few days will tell us what the path to the convention looks like.

[Kitty Herder]

55. She passed that milepost long ago, imo. nt

[boppers]

57. Jokes you can Xerox. That are ready from day one..... As far as I know.

SINCE WHEN DO DEMOCRATS ATTACK OTHER DEMOCRATS!@!!111!!!eleventy-one!!!1!
