Why Hillary? Can
you answer the following question: "What did Hillary Clinton accomplish
that you consider significant as Secretary of State?" If you can't
answer the question, you aren't alone.
A focus group of Iowa Democrats was
conducted by MSNBC
where participants were asked to answer the question, "What did she
accomplish that you consider significant as Secretary of State?"
Their
attempts to answer the question became about one minute of virtual
radio silence. Not one person could come up with an answer.
Howard Dean later went on MSNBC
to claim that this isn't just exclusive to Hillary.
Is that really a proper excuse?
Hillary
has been in the spotlight for quite some time and particularly during
her time as Secretary of State. The painful truth that Democrats don't
want to admit is that she didn't really accomplish anything of meaning
while Secretary of State.
Her Russian reset failed; Her pivot to Asia hasn't panned out;
Her Libya policies failed.
She supported pulling troops out of Iraq, leaving a vacuum for ISIS to emerge. And then add to these failures the numerous scandals that are plaguing her past and her present. |

Can Hillary Win? There
is a growing sense among Democrats that Hillary may be unelectable.
But unfortunately for them, they've put all of their eggs in one
basket. They are realizing that Hillary is their only real option, and
therefore they must defend her at all costs.
Democrats will be forced to do defend her because she is their only hope. Bloomberg conducted another focus group
of Iowa Democrats. They determined the following: "Despite her
perceived flaws, the group's participants indicated that they believed
Clinton represents the Democrats' only hope of holding on to the White
House."
While Democrats may still be
willing to vote for her, despite her less-than-desirable qualities,
Hillary still needs to convince America voters in the middle of the
political spectrum to vote for her as well.
As John Podhoretz says in the New York Post
, Hillary has to overcome the
"ick" factor with these voters: "Hillary is beginning her trek to
November 2016 with a built-in 'ick factor' regarding her essential
truthfulness and the sense that she spends her life dancing around and
about ethical lines ... What's far from clear is how Hillary can make
herself even remotely attractive from here on in to anyone who isn't
already in her camp."
Can she do it? |
