Moonbat Central Salon Presents The Case For Hillary Clinton 2020
2017-11-25
[Salon via Weasel Zippers] This is your mind on tofu turkey and kale.

Are you sick of Republicans? Or just right-wingers in general? Do you want to send a message to Washington that you aren’t going to buy into their racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic and classist nonsense for one second longer?

Then do the very thing that Donald Trump unintentionally encouraged in a recent tweet: Encourage Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2020!

Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!

‐ Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2017

I’m sure this is the part where the Clinton-haters ‐ be they Trumpers, Bernie Bros or anything in between ‐ will say something to the effect of, "Of course he wants her to run again. That’s the only way he’ll get re-elected!"

Slow your roll there. Clinton’s poll numbers aren’t too good right now (OK, they’re downright atrocious), but there are still four great reasons to consider choosing her as the Democratic nominee in 2020. Even better, all but one of them has to do with an emotion that has no place in this season (which is why I absolutely had to write this article for Thanksgiving weekend): Spite. Delicious, nutritious spite.

1. Hillary Clinton is the Winston Churchill to Vladimir Putin’s Adolf Hitler.

I agree with the basic principle of Godwin’s Law: The first person to invoke Hitler in a political debate should normally lose. The exception, of course, has to be when someone has genuine Hitler-like qualities. A foreign despot who has invaded neighboring countries and has a right-wing nationalist agenda is about as Nazi-like as you can get.

This is where Clinton offers a quality that no politician in America can beat. While Republicans are trying to tar her with a bogus scandal connecting her to Russia (and anyone who believes Clinton did something wrong in the Uranium One deal lacks credibility on all matters political), the reality is that no candidate can be better described as Russia’s nemesis than Clinton. Putin has always hated Clinton because of his innate sexism, which has manifested in his policies, and she certainly didn’t endear herself to him by publicly criticizing Russian corruption in 2011. As the ample connections between the Trump campaign and Russia or its water-carriers like WikiLeaks clearly demonstrate, the one person we know we can trust more than anyone is the candidate who Putin very obviously did not want to see as America’s president.

#9  The answer: How deep was Poseidon
To grope poor Alope and Triton,
And likely Arion,
His own equine scion?
The question: How creepy is Biden?

#8  Salon is the publication that wants p**ophilia normalized.

You'd think Joe Biden would be their guy.

#7  Problem is that Hillary behaved like a deer caught in the headlights in any crises.

She made really bad decisions just to show she is in charge, when in fact, she was in over her head and had no clue what to do.

#6  The part that takes this article from the realm of "really stupid" to the realm of "no sentient life form could possibly have had this thought" is the comparison of HRC to WSC "(Hillary Clinton is the Winston Churchill...")

We shall steal on the beaches, we shall steal on the landing grounds at Tuzla, we shall steal in the fields and in the streets, we shall steal in the hills; we shall never surrender, unless, of course, an amount north of $100 million should happen to appear in an offshore account of our choosing...

#4  This is a frappen cruel joke. Right? She's always been the dumbest, laziest, most corrupt, evil candidate in our history. Ladies, please don't be blinded by your womyness thing. She would be a worse Potus than a candidate.
