Hoe de Amerikaanse mainstream media Hillary Clinton nu al verkopen aan de helft van de Amerikaanse kiesgerechtigden die nog de moeite neemt te stemmen. Laten we kijken of het de pro-Israel lobby lukt om haar net als haar man aan de macht te helpen. Natuurlijk, dit keer niet onder het mom dat ze zwart is, zoals bij Obama, maar dat ze vrouw is.
Hillary Derangement Syndrome
Are Republicans really going to try to damage Hillary Clinton by digging up old non-scandals no one even remembers? They’ll do damage, all right, says Michael Tomasky, but not to Clinton.
Do any conservatives really believe that if Hillary Clinton does run for president, Americans will care a bit about the old stories from the 1990s? Two commentators I respect seem to think so. My colleague David Frum, in a column about Clinton’s 2016 chances that elsewhere makes several thoughtful points, seems to believe that the old Clinton White House issues could rise again. MSNBC analyst Jimmy Williams, across from whom I sat on the sound stage Monday, invoked Filegate and something else. Conservatives have spent two decades trying to destroy Clinton. They’ve only helped make her the most popular woman in America. And if they keep at it, they’re going to help make her president.

If you are old enough to think back, please do so now with me. Part the mists of time. I feel like that first ghost taking Scrooge back to when he was the vital young man who’d been completely buried. Remember the Rose Law Firm? Remember the alleged billing scandals? And then the supposed commodities trading scandal? That was a great one.
