Darkly Conspiratorial Hillary Clinton: "I Knew <i>They</i> Would Never Let Me Be President"

Darkly Conspiratorial Hillary Clinton: "I Knew They Would Never Let Me Be President"

This is a woman, you'll remember, who prized aides like Sidney Blumenthal who would play to and confirm her conspiratorial fantasies.

The NYT reporter who covered Hillary for a decade, Amy Chozick, shares some insights into the woman who fell from ~~grace~~ stairs.

This from a Washington Post review of her book, Chasing Hillary.

She contends that sexism played a big role in Clinton’s defeat but also encounters it first-hand among Clinton’s campaign staff....

When Chozick zeroes in on Clinton and leaves herself out of it, she can be perceptive, pithy and surprising. On Clinton's apparent disdain for the electoral process: "If there was a single unifying force behind her candidacy, it was her obvious desire to get the whole thing over with." On Clinton's ambition: "Her only clear vision of the presidency seemed to be herself in it."
...
And even on Clinton's proclivities: "For all the lesbian theories, Hillary enjoys nothing more than flirting with a handsome, preferably straight man." (Despite aggressively questioning Clinton about her e-mails, Ed Henry became a favorite: "She would regularly look past her almost entirely female press corps to call on the Fox News correspondent, with his cherub cheeks and Pucci pocket squares.")
...

I've noticed this about some "alpha" women who have queen bee tendencies: They're kinda sexist against other women. Maybe it's that they feel other women are competitors on the specific playing field of Who Is The Queeniest of Queen Bee in a way men are not/cannot be -- men are competing in another division entirely, as in college sports -- but power-seeking women often are fixated on a Lonely Victory -- they want to be the woman in charge. They don't want other women tagging along to share the Female Empowerment Spotlight.

This is fun:

"Chasing Hillary" offers some searing moments surrounding election night, as when the Clinton team's data guru grasps that his Florida models were off (Latino turnout lower than expected, white turnout huge in the Panhandle), then turns to campaign manager Robby Mook and says, they could be wrong everywhere."

I'm at full staff.

Mook eventually delivers the news of impending defeat to Clinton. "I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,” she answers. "They were never going to let me be president."

For those who still say Trump is psychologically unfit to be president, I say: Well, okay, but compared to whom?

The only other candidate in the race who could actually win was a woman with a long history of corruption and conspiracy-thinking, who walked around with a literal Enemies List and actually rated people on that list, from one to seven (if memory serves) as far as how betrayish she felt they were.

The next day, Times reporters consider what they'd missed -- and why. "God, I didn't go to a single Hillary or Trump rally," a colleague of Chozick's admits, "and yet, I wrote with such authority."

You've got your Dunning in my Kruger! Mmm-- two incompetent tastes that taste even more incompetent together!!!

Now come the parts about the sexism of Hillary's male staff, towards women.

Chozik only refers to these Guys by nicknames -- Broan Loafers Guy, Policy Guy. Cutesy stuff like that.

The most "loathsome" is the one she calls "Original Guy," "the longest-serving Svengali and the most-devoted member of Hillary’s court of flattering men."

She later reveals this "loathsome" creature to be Philippe Reines.

They ask if there are any other Times reporters, preferably male, that they could talk to instead of her....
The undercurrent of sexism spills over when Chozick and Original Guy spar over whether a prior conversation can go on the record, and he randomly paraphrases a crude line from "Thank You for Smoking," a 2005 film in which a reporter sleeps with a lobbyist for information. "I didn't know I had to say it was off the record when I was inside you," Original Guy smirks. (“"he words hung there," Chozick recalls, "so grossly gynecological.")
Chozick doesn’t name him but later cites a Times story by Maggie Haberman revealing that Original Guy served as the Trump stand-in during Clinton’s debate preparation. "Hmmm, wherever will Hillary find a manipulative, sometimes-charming, often hilarious, possible sociopath," Chozick muses. "I won't out Original Guy here, except to say that his name rhymes with “Philippe Reines."

Odds that Jake Tapper and CNN will give Amy Chozick a full "town hall" to promote her book at: Zero.

They're only interested in promoting some tell-all books.

Because Integrity.

...
The fury is less evident when she mentions the harassing tendencies of Clinton’s spiritual adviser, whom the Clinton reporters nicknamed Hands Across America. "HAA exhibited generally creepy behavior, but seemed more pitiful and effeminate than threatening, which is why I tried to ignore his rubbing up and down my back," Chozick writes. She does not name HAA in the book; more than a year after Trump's inauguration, Chozick co-wrote a Times story about how Clinton kept spiritual adviser Burns Strider on the 2008 campaign despite repeated accusations of harassment by campaign staff.

The Daily Beast has another damning quote -- "Basket of Deplorables" was no off-the-cuff line. Hillary routinely used it as a laugh line in big-money fundraising dinners in swank places like the Hamptons.

That was no slip of the tongue, since "Hillary always broke down Trump supporters into three baskets," Chozick writes.
“Basket #1: The Republicans who hated her and would vote Republican no matter who the nominee.
Basket #2: Voters whose jobs and livelihoods had disappeared, or as Hillary said, 'who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens in their lives and their futures.'
Basket #3: The Deplorables. This basket includes 'the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic--you name it.'
"The Deplorables always got a laugh, over living-room chats in the Hamptons, at dinner parties under the stars on Martha’s Vineyard, over passed hors d'oeuvres in Beverly Hills, and during sunset cocktails in Silicon Valley," Chozick continues.

Funny, I don't remember Chozick or anyone else covering Clinton during the campaign reporting that little nugget. It's almost as if they were trying to protect her from herself, and deliberately hiding relevant information from the public they were allegedly helping to make an informed choice.

And speaking of conspiracy theories: Bill Clinton, maybe trying to pay Hillary Clinton back for all the conspiracy theories she dreamed up to save his bacon in 1997, spins out this incredible conspiracy theory about the New York Times trying to get Trump elected.

Why? For money.

"After the election, Bill would spread a more absurd Times conspiracy: The publisher had struck a deal with Trump that we’d destroy Hillary on her emails to help him get elected, if he kept driving traffic and boosting the company's stock price."

References to "They," talk of a Jewish-owned newspaper sabotaging her campaign for sheckels -- these conspiracy theories, like most conspiracy theories, seem to be converging on to an anti-semitic underlying premise.

The book sounds very feminist, very liberal, and still very pro-Hillary, despite her frustrations with Hillary for being a Gigantic Loser.

So I'm not recommending it. Just sharing some quotes.

He said something like "you guys don't understand these people," according to an excerpt in the Daily Beast. "The Clintons will try to destroy me."

30 Ugh. Speaking of successful yet self-contradicting women:

I like a number of the short stories Pam Houston has written over he years. Her best stuff -- unsurprisingly -- was in her first collection, Cowboys Are My Weakness. Even though she makes a liberal reference or two, all the stories reference the life of the trained horsewoman/hunter/outdoor enthusiast she'd trained hard to be. And yes, guns were mentioned. Frequently.

Just saw her Twitter feed today. The lib stuff, not surprising. The support of the anti-NRA crowd: disappointing.

I suppose the best definition I can provide is a lawyer whose specialty is the representation of health care providers with regard to matters implicating federal and state regulation of health care and health care providers. It can touch on all kinds of things including fraud and abuse, false claims, self-referral, antikickback laws, privacy and confidentiality, licensing issues, Board discipline, business arrangements, regulatory compliance, and on and on. Medical malpractice is a specialized area of personal injury.

Not sure I follow your reasoning. Jews, for the most part, tend to be very much part of the progressive project. Obviously, there are exceptions, such as some who write here. But, why would any progressive think they have to take out the Jews, when the Jews, for the most part, are allies?

77 Even if I had never found Ace and still mostly believed the FNM I think I would have voted for Trump based on the video of Hillary recounting to a reporter her law career and describing the case she won to get the rapist of the young teen off (believe that was linked on FB) It was not a smoking gun of doing anything illegal but it is crystal clear that she has/had no empathy for the victim (cuz just poor white trash who lived on the wrong side of the tracks)

OTOH Trump the billionaire seems quite dialed in to treating people from all walks of life as real people. Perhaps from being in the real estate and hospitality business and getting to know the folks building and working in his hotels and resorts.

81 "It's almost as if they were trying to protect her from herself, and deliberately hiding relevant information from the public they were allegedly helping to make an informed choice."

Relevant information? If only. They were even hiding her. How many months delay before she went out in public to campaign? How many reinvention tours were initiated? How many states did they keep her out of? She is what Hollywood would normally call "Box Office Poison".

She was so awful the entire kingdom of media, academia, and Deep State, (against Trump, for god's sake!) failed to drag her carcass across the finish. With a checklist resume that would make any academic (and only an academic) swoon, she got beat by a veritable hard hat steel worker.

Yes, destroy the west, we cokeheads are living it up on all the free money ... sure we are selling out America, who cares? Selling out everything patriots fought for in several wars? OF COURSE! We are the Wall Street Traders ... WE RULE the world.

So now, back to America First ... if other nations want to prosper, they should follow (the original) American Way. We will shine the light for them, even help them. But don't be a global mafia traitor that wants to rule with the iron fist, taking the easy money bribes.

89 Reading the bit about Hillary and her frequent "deplorable" slur at fundraisers, It's so funny how quickly the Democrats flipped on the white working class as soon as they no longer had that vote in the bag. That was like the backbone of the party once upon a time.

Serious, you guy.

I still expect Hillary to run again in 2020 because she fully believes the election was stolen from her and she is the most qualified person to ever run for president, so she is absolutely entitled to a do-over. I would almost expect that she is praying for N Korea to bomb Pearl Harbor.

98 I wonder who "they" are in Hillary's head.

She sunk herself. She had every opportunity as Sec. of Sate to build a candidacy and she sabotaged herself. I wonder if self-sabotage and blaming others is some weird pathology that forms a pattern in her life.

When McCain was running he began to do erratic things that made me wonder if he was sabotaging himself. That he suddenly had doubts. It's not concious, it's subconscious behavior. That's why you can only guess at it.

Hear me out here. Slowly if you please. In 'self report' Jews vote that way. There's no actual definitive polling data to prove that. Just what people say when they exit the polls. Self report is notorious for inaccuracy. I'm not saying it's inaccurate. Just that it very much tends to be that way. Always.

How many beers did you drink?

"Just two" (always) says the guy who blows a .380 indicating a whole lot more then two beers. Like a case of beer.

It now seems that a slimeball like Hillary, knowing the inaccuracy of self-report, seems to want to blame the Joos. Because imho and historically, very bad people always go down that road.

Well, that's one way to get to that conclusion. Another is to looks at demographics. Example: New York City I think could be fairly described as having a significant Jewish population. It is also very leftist.

I have no studies at hand, and I'm too lazy to go try and find out if they exist and what they say. But, my anecdotal point of view is that areas that are relatively heavily Jewish are also predominately left wing.

Is there any significant area in the USA that is the opposite, like Utah and the Mormons, but with Jews? None that I can think of. Jews tend to be more left wing, just as Mormons tend to be more right wing.

Of course, all the disclaimers should go here. There are plenty of right wing Jews and left wing Mormons and you shouldn't stereotype, etc.

As far as self report let me present this story/example. There was an OB/GYN dude who assured women he was 100% accurate in predicting the sex of the newborn. He had actual proof.

How did he do it? By lying.

He'd tell a woman she was going to have a boy. Then write 'female' on the chart.

If the woman had a boy she'd never question him.

If she had a girl he'd point to the chart where he wrote 'female'.

Yes, but I think things change when you have the heat of a Presidential campaign where you better be in the mud pit 24/7 if you actually want to win.

A female Senator being able to keep that image is a lot easier.

Nikki Haley is probably our strongest example, but I'm not a 100% fan of hers.

The book sounds very feminist, very liberal, and still very pro-Hillary, despite her frustrations with Hillary for being a Gigantic Loser.

Reminds me a bit of David Mamet when he was still a leftist. After Kerry got clubbed like a Yukon seal in '04, Mamet wrote an op-ed where he was pissed off that he wasted his vote on a big pussy like Mrs. Heinz's gigolo. Because in Mamet's eyes, Kerry wouldn't fight, wouldn't go for the jugular, politically speaking.

I'm not saying that Catholics are puppets. But, most non-Catholic churches don't even have a Pope or his equivalent. The Catholic Church is a very top down organization. Other churches, even when they are members of other religious bodies, still have more of a grassroots structure. The Catholic Church has the Archdioceses, which are subservient to Rome.

It's not 100% dispositive, but it is relevant. The Vatican says building walls is wrong; let the immigrants flow. Also, no to abortion. Against the death penalty.

Now, many Catholics will ignore this stuff and vote the way they want and still go to church on Sunday. They even have a term for it Cafeteria Catholics.

Others will follow the church's teaching religiously. Still others will decide to switch faiths and find something closer to their beliefs.

Over time, either the congregation will move towards the leadership, or the leadership will move towards the congregation. Since the Catholic Church is so top down, the leadership is very slow to change.

FALSE. The Catholic vote, starting in 1980, has been pretty much the same as the national vote. Where there has been a statistically significant lean, it's been to the right.

She hated being around the "deplorables." Why bother if you are going to win anyway? And that stuff was really the only thing Trump loved. God, we dodged such a huge bullet.

356 Eh. These kinda books, I always wonde rhow much is true and how much is invention, and how much is "this is how I remember it" because in the past I have been SURE something happened then find out later I misunderstood or had it remembered wrong.

Did Hillary say and do all this stuff? Were staffers really like that? Yes, the "they wouldn't let me win" line sounds awfully plausible, and it hits me in all the right confirmation bias buttons but its third hand: supposedly she said it, then a writer says it, then someone reports the writer said it.

So its hard to get too interested and make any real statements about any of it. Yeah, like the "we'll be hanging" line its probably true, or at least sounds awfully plausible. But Hillary is messed up and crazy enough to start with and severely unlikable without rumors and gossipy books.

(presumably Mehmet destroyed the original in a fit of rage as soon as he saw it) That was one of the funniest things I have read, those guys would have fit in with us!

Imagine saying that to a guy who thinks he's an Emperor.

If we knew for sure, we could look at the psychosis and arrogance in the line: "they" being the American people instead of "we." "let me be president" as opposed to "serve them as president" or "take office." She sounds like she deserved the job simply by being her. All plausible Hillary stuff.

But did she really say it? Or is this just some reporterette hoping to make some book sales?

397 The Catholic Catechism instructs the faithful that good government has two duties, both of which must be carried out and neither of which can be ignored. The first duty is to welcome the foreigner out of charity and respect for the human person. Persons have the right to immigrate and thus government must accommodate this right to the greatest extent possible, especially financially blessed nations: "The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him." Catholic Catechism, 2241.

The second duty is to secure one's border and enforce the law for the sake of the common good. Sovereign nations have the right to enforce their laws and all persons must respect the legitimate exercise of this right: "Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens." Catholic Catechism, 2241.

In January 2003, the U.S. Catholic Bishops released a pastoral letter on migration entitled, "Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope." In their letter, the Bishops stressed that, "[w]hen persons cannot find employment in their country of origin to support themselves and their families, they have a right to find work elsewhere in order to survive. Sovereign nations should provide ways to accommodate this right." No. 35. The Bishops made clear that the "[m]ore powerful economic nations...have a stronger obligation to accommodate migration flows." No. 36.

USCCB Position

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) opposes "enforcement only" immigration policies and supports comprehensive immigration reform. In Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope, the U.S. Catholic Bishops outlined the elements of their proposal for comprehensive immigration reform.

http://tinyurl.com/9l96gwc

Who is the USCCB?

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is an assembly of the hierarchy of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands who jointly exercise certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of the United States. The purpose of the Conference is to promote the greater good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programs of the apostolate fittingly adapted to the circumstances of time and place. This purpose is drawn from the universal law of the Church and applies to the episcopal conferences which are established all over the world for the same purpose.

Those who are ignorant of Church policy might want to familiarize themselves with what the leadership is putting out. As opposed to blathering on about things they don't know.

Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at April 20, 2018 08:04 PM (pvjTE)

398 In the US Catholic Church there is a huge fight brewing. Pope Francis is not popular with the lay members of the faith but is more so with the front line priests.

For the moment the bishops seem to be on the side of the lay people but I think that is a near thing.

The Priesthood is aging and unless a major change happens the Church will be facing a crisis of leadership.

It is already more common to have a priest from overseas saying mass in the US then a native born priest.
