Dems are angry at latest Hillary Clinton comments

Democrats are angry that Hillary Clinton continues to discuss what went wrong during the 2016 presidential election against President Trump.
Even some of Clinton’s own former aides and surrogates say the former Democratic presidential nominee should back away from the discussion about her failed campaign because it’s harmful to the party.
During a conference in India this weekend, Clinton called states that supported her in the election more economically advanced than the states that backed Trump.
The remarks reminded many of the former secretary of State’s comments in 2016 that some of Trump’s supporters fit in a “basket of deplorables,” a line the Republican then used against her repeatedly during the final stretch of the campaign.
She also insinuated that women who voted for Trump were motivated by “ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”
In interviews with The Hill on Tuesday, even the staunchest Clinton allies as well as longtime advisers say the comments were cringeworthy and ultimately detrimental to Democrats.
“She put herself in a position where [Democrats] from states that Trump won will have to distance themselves from her even more,” said one former senior Clinton aide. “That’s a lot of states.”

Another Clinton surrogate questioned the decisionmaking behind Clinton’s remarks. For months, some Democrats have been arguing that Clinton’s sentiments have been counterproductive to the party’s rebuilding efforts. And some have told her she should emulate former President Obama’s model to only make statements when it’s essential.
Even before she launched her book tour last fall for “What Happened,” party strategists have said Clinton should lay low.
“She’s annoying me. She’s annoying everyone, as far as I can tell,” said one 2016 Clinton surrogate. “Who lets her say these things?”
quote:
On Saturday, after Trump campaigned for Republican House candidate Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania, Clinton’s longtime communications adviser, Philippe Reines, said he understands “why that man won in 2016.”
“And I understand — I’m not terrified — but I understand why he may win again in 2020,” Reines said.

There's going to be a day where she will slip down the stairs and no one will be there to help her
...and she'd probably blame that for her loss too

I hope she continues to demand a seat at the democratic party table for a long long time.

I’ll tell you what went wrong, she was the worst candidate of a major party in American history.
Boom, where’s my $5 million book deal?

Let me get this straight. Mitt says there are 47% of Americans who wouldn’t vote for him and that statement is decisive. This woman can say half the country is backwards thinking and it’s cool.

The great thing is, she's got enough dirt on every one of them to do so for as long as she wants

So economically advanced, those who make $400k per year are considered "middle class".

I don't know why Democrats are angry when most of them agree with her
Posted on 3/14/18 at 4:32 pm to Contra
Rush made the point yesterday that reporters should start asking all dems if the agree with HRC's statements about married white women.
Like magic, today news stories start hitting about dems denouncing her.

Dems do love them some restriction of free speech. Let her talk, it’s her right.

I think one day her bodyguards may just let her do that.

Some?? I thought it was quoted at half. Way to sugar-coat it.

Wow, what a sexist. As if a woman needs the permission of anybody to say whatever she wants.

I’m a Dem and I’m not angry. Why? Because she is invisible to me.she means nothing. Why can’t libs just ignore her or do you like getting mad?
