It wasn't politically smart to say that during her campaign IMO, I think even Bill allegedly said something to her about it, but she was nevertheless dead-nuts correct. Only thing I quibble with her over is the percentages.
You ruined your own comment. "a woman's turn" -- the point is to elect the best person, man or woman. But that is EXACTLY how many in the Democratic party viewed it. And HRC, too. Like she was owed that. It's her turn. Its our turn. The word for it is ENTITLEMENT. She didn't make the effort to EARN the position. She got out played. And we as a nation are the ones paying the price.
Funny. She spent 8 years in the white house being bombarded with lies from the lawless fascist right but I get it. "ENTITLEMENT. She didn't make the effort to EARN the position" WOW you just projected Trump onto Hillary. Just pathetic. America has had enough magashitshow gone wild.
It is obvious the level of corruption, moral depravity, etc. that we are witnessing in the Whitehouse. But to insult a large group of voters in the middle of a campaign -- the campaign for the presidency -- is the MOST STUPID thing ever done by a presidential candidate. Sure, DJT's comment was worse, but it was years, decades before he ran. I know, it doesn't undo it, but in terms of effect on the presidential campaign, it is minor compared to what she said. How arrogant do you have to be or how surrounded by sycophants, to think you are some kind of immortal/unstoppable Queen that you can insult an entire swath of the electorate and not have it effect the swing voters in the middle????
This is like calling your NFL opponent a weakling deplorable on a Saturday before playing them on Sunday. It doesn't work out well for you. Obvious to some, not to those who drink the Kool-Aid.
Because tho only job of the oligarch controlled media is "Manufacturing Consent."
We need to reverse Bellotti (the 5-4 Supreme Court case from 1978 that led directly to Citizens United) and criminalize election interference by for-profit corporations (maybe with an exception for employee-journalist owned news outlets).
