Valin Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The Week: Michael Brendan Dougherty Oct. 19 2015 Oh, how stupid we all were! Remember that time five minutes ago when we all wanted Joe Biden — Joe Flipping Biden — to get in the race? I can't either. And all that anxiety about an email server in Chappaqua, New York? Preposterous. At the first Democratic debate last week, Hillary Clinton sent a message to doubters: "Crushed it!" Cancel the future debates. Let's start picking her cabinet. She's got this. Hate to spoil the party, everyone. But Hillary did not make herself queen last week. Conventional wisdom, like the above from last week, is like a traditional soufflé in a microwave. Instant, tasteless, likely to collapse any minute. Yes, Clinton can unite her party. Especially when the other options are an avowed socialist, a former Republican senator, a former Reagan official who smiles at the thought of killing on the battlefield, and a former Maryland governor who built a cops-and-incarceration résumé and ran in the exact year when those politics seem cruelly out of date. But did last week change any of her problems? Televised debate moments produce no prose worth reading. We're a democracy after all. Reagan's "There you go again" is considered the top of the genre. And Clinton's big moment came when Anderson Cooper asked if she wanted to respond to an implication by Lincoln Chafee that Clinton's decision to run a home-brew email setup showed a lack of ethics. "No," she replied. Other big moments came when she responded to Bernie Sanders: "But we are not Denmark," she said, "I love Denmark. We are the United States of America." Owned! I guess. Hail the conquering Hillary. (Snip) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The question our friends in the Democratic Party face is..if not Hillary, Who? Bernie....Marty... Joe? A question never addressed in the article. My mother could beat these people....and she's been dead for 15 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
