Correction: A couple of days after the New York Times quoted Hillary as saying Gabbard was “being groomed by theRussians”, they were forced to issue a correction. What she had, in fact, said was that Gabbard was being groomed by the “Republicans” to run as a third party candidate. A “horse of a different color”, I would say, if red wasn’t favored both by Republicans and Russians.
…and take Bill with you.
Hillary Clinton has succeeded in distracting everyone from Donald Trump’s very, VERY bad week; so much so, that one could as legitimately ask if she is a Russian asset, as she suggested someone in the 2020 Democratic lineup might be.
What a waste of time.
Tulsi Gabbard assumes that she was talking about her, and perhaps she was. Nevertheless, Hillary has only succeeded in breathing new life into Gabbard’s feeble campaign, so that she might rise from 1% to a higher single digit.
I actually heard voices on the Saturday morning talk shows opining that Hillary “must know” what she’s talking about since she’s had do much personal experience with Russian interference! Pu-lease!
This is the kind of conspiracy theory rumor mill that wound-up Crazy Donald and the Donaldettes in the first place. She of all people should know better!
What possible value did Hillary imagine her little sideshow would bring to the already fraught but critical process of selecting a viable general election candidate?
She’s slipping into her Bill’s habit of wrong-footing it into the limelight just in time to provide new talking points for her opposition.
With “friends” like these, who needs enemies.
By the way, who’s to say she WAS referring to Tulsi Gabbard? Knowing Hillary’s center-right hawkish leanings, she could have just as well been referring to the current second lead, after her fav Joe Biden. ‘Talk about wrong-footed! Joe’s been hemorrhaging money and credibility, and just can’t seem to make it right.
Enter: Hillary, being “helpful.”
If she has any sense remaining after the Republicans have bounced her around like a football for the past two decades, she should apologize for musing out loud, blame cold-meds or some other reality-altering substance; then return to her novel for the duration. She has well and truly worn-out her welcome.
