Hillary Clinton, never one for the conservatives, has now managed to isolate — nay, tick off — even the hardest core of her supporters.
What’s come from her fans in the media in the last few hours could very well signal the end of Clinton’s long-standing, long-running reign in political courts.
“For women,” CNN blasted in one headline, “Clinton is a bigger disappointment than Trump.”
Ouch.
That’s pretty blunt for a cable outlet known colloquially as Clinton News Network.
“Hillary Clinton doesn’t get it,” wrote Holly Thomas for CNN. “Since the explosion of #MeToo in October 2017, many of us have become jaded to the stock responses we can often expect from certain figures to stories of sexual harassment and abuse. At a rally in Pennsylvania last week, for example, President Trump once again mocked the movement … It is galling in another way, however, to hear #MeToo undermined from an unexpected quarter — as it was a few days ago by Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.”
The reference was to Clinton’s excusal of her husband’s White House affair with Monica Lewinsky as simply an “adult” act — meaning, consensual, no #MeToo-like sexual predator tag needed. And given the consensual nature of the affair, Clinton concluded: then-president Bill had no need to step down.
“Absolutely not” is how she put it.
And toward that, CNN’s Thomas wrote: “The midterm elections are weeks away. It will be the first time voters can weigh in on a national level about the impact of the 2016 election, and everything since. It is clear that any positive development will depend on fresh blood at the helm for both parties. … If anything is to be learned from Hillary Clinton’s defeat, it is that there is no point in defending a tired status quo, which defends inherited privilege. It seems she is yet to fully appreciate that lesson.”
This isn’t a Fox News post; remember, this is CNN. Even CNN is telling Mrs. Clinton — go away, go home, get out of the political realm.
Or, as the left-leaning Daily Beast puts it in its own headline, “Dear God, Hillary Clinton. Please, Just Go.”
There, Liz Mair wrote: “We’re three weeks out from the 2018 midterm election, and Hillary Clinton is popping up again like a Halloween ghoul who keeps rising from the grave to terrorize the American public; only this time accompanies by the increasingly #MeToo burdened uber-villain, Bubba.”
Then there was this, from the normally Clinton-adoring New York Times.
“Hillary Clinton has been on a bit of a media tear the past few weeks, holding forth on both the personal and the political — and making clear that someone needs to perform an intervention before she further complicates life for her fellow Democrats,” a member of The Times’ editorial board, Michelle Cottle, wrote. “It’s one thing for a wife to stand by her spouse … But it is no secret that Mr. Clinton’s response to sexual scandal was to try to trash the reputations of the women involved. And while the degree to which Mrs. Clinton joined in such efforts may remain in dispute … her fundamental complicity is beyond reasonable doubt.”
Heads up, political watchers. This may very well be the time that nobody thought was coming — the day when Team Clinton, both Hillary and Bill, have exhausted their moments in the sun.
Hillary’s presidential loss to Trump was a black mark that’s left a lasting stain on her political future. In recent months, though, she’s scrambled back into the public eye. She’s scrambled back to the public speaking stage to present as a still-respectable figure among Democrats. She’s clawed back into the limelight and made her way back into the media as a pundit of sorts for the Democratic Party — and the members of the left have allowed this in part because of loyalty, and in part, no doubt, out of fear of all the secrets she still carries.
But in just the last few hours, the media — the very media that used to fawn — is abandoning Clinton, tossing her to the side. Is this the political end of HRC as we know her?
Take note of the time; make a memo on the calendar. This could very well be the countdown to Clinton’s final disappearance from the hallowed halls of political influence — the final stroke to the public power she wields.

This clueless, desperate, old hag will not shut up until she is room temperature. The sooner, the better.
Never underestimate the power of Hillary Clinton to inspire Conservative voters to run to the polls to oppose her. Let’s hope the Democrats keep underestimating her talents and power to defeat they the Democrats and trot her out before every election to put foot in mouth like Bill did his cigars. Apparently Dems just love to dine on Toe jam and smoke.
Inluminatuo, if the people she is “endorsing” and “helping” like Bob Menendez had any sense at all, they would run SCREAMING away from her. An endorsement from Hillary has proven to be virtually the KISS OF DEATH for the election hopes of ANY candidate–and thank GOD for that, considering who it is she is trying to help get elected! I’m with you–play ON, Hillary, you corrupt old CRONE. Play ON, and ensure a Republican LANDSLIDE in the midterms!
I am not sure we won’t still hear about her, even after she achieves room temperature.
The Democraps will always back her to a certain extent. Look at all the horrible things Slick Willie did which Hitlery overlooked. The Democraps are also guilty of letting him slide. The even let her slide when she allowed Weiner to commit acts of pedophilia just to hide her crimes. The Democraps won’t hold the Clintons to the standards they demand other follow. So this momentary anti-Clinton huff will pass and they will then give them a pass after the election is over.
Are you sure she overlooked them? For all we know, she could have enjoyed Watching him!
I think between their DISMAL ratings and the growing disarray in the Party of the CONNIVING COMMUCRATS, CNN has seen the light–and like the CRAVEN butt-kissers they are, are trying to be more “balanced” in their coverage, lest they end up on the ash heap of history where they rightfully belong. There have been SEVERAL instances lately where they actually told the TRUTH and FAILED to simply PARROT the “party line” of the conniving Commucrats.
As far as I’m concerned, they have lost ALL credibility, and it will take more than this CRAVEN attempt to curry favor at THIS late date, after YEARS of lying, spinning, and becoming craven SCRIPT READERS of Commucrat party line propaganda, while vilifying, denigrating and outright ATTACKING anybody who dared disagree with their Leftist LOON ideology to put them back in my good graces. In fact, I would say, at this point, there is NOTHING they can do that will EVER make me regard them as a “legitimate” source of news, EVER again!
I doubt CNN ever will ‘see the light’.
I agree. Hillary is no longer politically viable. B-Bye! Try not to chip a tooth when you hit the curb.
“Next!”
Now the search to find another marketable liar, cheat, enabler, traitor, thief, metro-sexual, false witness, and just plain old mean-spirited candidate for queen.
Steven cobert’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel, having her on as a special guest last night.
“I’m melting!” “I’m melting” Oh what a world!! It’s all the vast right wing conspiracy’s fault! No it’s the Russians! No It’s (GASP) DONALD TRUMP’S fault.
Hey Hildabeast, check the mirror.
Pity their ‘I am melting” is only proverbably. AND NOT literally!
Did I not say this would happen, just the other day? Hillary crossed in front of the $MeToo Train and it’s running her over. Remember how relentless they were in ejecting Al Franken, a seated Dem senator and loyal Lib? None of that mattered because he molested a woman. His career is over. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
Hillary helped create a $MeToo monster. She thought she could control it. But much like the proverbial pet viper, the Fems have turned on Hillary because that’s what they do. It’s in their nature.
Hil really stepped in it this time. She’s going to look for forgiveness but the $MeToo Fems have none. She’s done. And Bill can’t come to her defense this time, with all his toxic masculinity I think he’s going to try, but it won’t work.
In case we forget there was a rat in the woodpile that was supposed to be a friend. Why did she tell was there a bit of envy? Or did she get paid to rat? I’m just saying…
I believe the MSM and many of the demoncrats are abandoning HRC just now because “the secrets she still carries” are shortly going to be secrets no more. As the vile, evil actions for which even some documentation is going to be revealed come out; she, Bill, Obama, and the entirety of the HRC run Obama administration’s principals will become so radioactive as to be usable as fuel for a breeder reactor. If they aren’t dumped quickly by the 2020 hopefuls, they’ll destroy the remains of the demoncrat party for at least another decade or 2.
Oh, but how I’d love to see her put up a fight. She’s not one to do as she’s told. She knows she’s already past her expiration date so if she doesn’t win in 2020 it’s game over forever.
Ideally, she drags the entire Dem party into civil war and spares the rest of the country from the new Civil War she and Obama were trying to start. If anyone could engineer this, it’s Donald Trump. Turn all the vicious, toxic, remorseless factions on the Left against each other until they’re all consumed.
For instance. $MeToo vs. Black Lives Matter.
I’d be more than happy, to see her drag the dems into a crisis!
Shrillary is possibly the best thing to ever happen for the GOP. She is the poster child for everything sick, depraved and immoral. She has been nothing less than a disaster for the Feminazis and will continue to drag them down with her. Other than the truly insane, I have no doubt the sickening Radical Left hate her more than we do. And they should, she has done more damage to them than our own spineless RINOs. Along with her pervert rapist sex offender husband they continue to shine a light on everything that is wrong and immoral with the Radical Left.
Long live Queen Shrill !
I’m not sure they realize just how much of a dead albatross she really is.
More analogies!
She’s Gilligan from Gilligan’s Island
She’s Dr. Smith from Lost in Space
She’s Steve Urkel from whatever show that was
She’s the ponderous length of chains Scrooge forged in life
She’s a drag chute tied to a boat anchor
She’s the mosquito draining the blood from that guy in the Kansas video
LINK check out 2:55 thru 3:05
She’s too self-important to step aside and the Dems (so far) are too dumb to push her out of the way.
Give it another news cycle or two.
I can see her in a dark room lit by black candles. Hooded, brooding over a boiling cauldron as the magic crystal dies in a low flicker on the altar.
