Moonbat Central Salon Presents The Case For Hillary Clinton 2020
[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.

#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...

#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.

Clinton accuses Trump of encouraging 'Russian hackers' to attack US
[PRESSTV] Former US Secretary of State Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, has once again placed the blame on her Republican rival for the defeat, claiming that the billionaire businessman "encouraged Russian hackers" to cyberattack the US and find compromising information in order to disrupt her campaign.

Clinton made the comments in an interview with MSNBC, accusing Trump of supporting Russian hackers who "attacked the very heart of US democracy," and also warning about a looming "threat" from Moscow.

When asked about the controversy around her use of a private email server during her tenure as the secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, Clinton said that she wished "the government had had as high a level of security as there was on the server I used."

"There is no doubt that our government servers at the time I was serving as secretary of state were compromised," she noted. "And there is at least insofar as we know no evidence that my private server was."

Hillary Clinton warns of US spying programs, artificial intelligence
[PRESSTV] Former US Secretary of State Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
has voiced concern about the dangers linked to artificial intelligence, including the US government's use of programs designed for espionage for recording "everything we know and everything we say and everything we write."

In a report published by The Verge on Thursday, Clinton said America is "totally unprepared" for the economic and societal effects of artificial intelligence.

The former secretary of state said the world was "racing headfirst into a new era of artificial intelligence" that would affect "how we live, how we think, [and] how we relate to each other."

"A lot of really smart people, you know, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, a lot of really smart people are sounding an alarm that we’re not hearing. And their alarm is artificial intelligence is not our friend," she stated.

She said the greatest danger loomed in two specific areas: spying and automation.

First, artificial intelligence will be spying on everybody, recording "everything we know and everything we say and everything we write," she said.

Secondly, artificial intelligence will lead to job automation and that will replace humans.

"What are we going to do when we get driverless cars?" she asked. "It sounds like a great idea. And how many millions of people, truck drivers and parcel delivery people and cab drivers and even Uber drivers, what do we do with the millions of people who will no longer have a job? We are totally unprepared for that."

Clinton didn’t discuss any details of specific policies she would like to see enacted, but said the government needed to act quickly to address the issue. "We can’t put the genie back in the bottle."

Mainly because she cribbed from a lot of people far better versed in it and far more intelligent.
