Hillary Clinton just punked her republican rivals by sending them copies of her new book
By Tim Martyn | October 6, 2015 |
In a month which has seen Hillary Clinton throw caution to the wind and come out swinging on major campaign issues like gun control and oil pipelines, it appears shes also applying the strategy to the more symbolic aspects of her 2016 campaign for President. After she watched her republican rivals repeatedly misstate her record as Secretary of State, she decided to punk them by flooding them with copies of her book Hard Choices.
Clinton not only sent each of the candidates a copy of her latest book, she wrote them each a personalized letter encouraging them to please enjoy all 596 pages of my time as Secretary of State in the name of gaining a more accurate understanding of her time running the State Department. The move of course is purely symbolic and has no material effect on the election. But it appears to have been intended as a statement: Stop misstating my record, or Ill take the pushback to the next level.
As if to up the ante, Hillary Clinton made a point of using each republican candidates full name, such as John E. Bush and Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. just to rub it in. The symbolic move of showmanship comes even as Clinton launches a campaign ad using the republicans own words about Benghazi against them.

(23,946 posts)Her record as Secretary of State repairing the massive damage left to the reputation of America in the world by War Criminals Bush and Cheney and Company, she, as America's Top Diplomat - that would be a good TV show - repaired that reputation in a blaze of world travel and diplomacy, carried to full restoration under Top Diplomat Kerry and that is the truth she is rightly proud of.
No wonder the GOP fears her so much as to launch a now transparently faux investigation that now is in record breaking territory as to length and expense and after 5 bi-partisan reports fully exonerating her and indeed commending her.
Full stop.
