Does she really not see how her rhetoric, as this goes on, has the possibility of permanently damaging our party. Her refusal to tampen down her comments, her pushing the idea that Obama somehow is equivalent to Bush in 2000...not wanting the votes to count in Florida......I'm stating to wonder if she actually isn't somehow delusional to a pathological point.

1. I think that her delusion is based on believing that she alone is the answer to all of our problems

21. What pissed me off more than the assination statement ...
is that she said, ONCE AGAIN, "My opponent ... keeps trying to push me out" ...

NO THE F HE HASN'T ... EVERY god darned time he speaks he says she has every right to remain in the race ...

But, she just is spewing intellectually bankrupt nonsense left and right ...

2. She is bewildered because she was to be coronated
This isn't about the Democratic Party, this is about Hillary Clinton.

3. She knows she is damaging the party
Thats the plan.

The bewilderment is just a bit of acting so her followers dont catch on until its too late.

5. What is Right and what is good for Hillary are obviously the same thing in her head.
Edited on Fri May-23-08 07:54 PM by patrice
The Bosnia story was the precursor of this. That alone should have disqualified her for VP. It is a measure of the Party's respect for her supporters that it has endured this situation for soooooooo long.

On Edit: Actually the IWR was the first precursor and then the Bosnia story was the first sign in this campaign.

6. That is the key to the whole thing
June is irrelevant. There is no CA primary that could change everything. That's why talking about June makes no sense - unless you want to throw a little assassination politics into the mix.

8. What I found odd was...
...she said people have been trying to push her out of the race since Iowa? Iowa, really?

:freak:

11. There are millions of people who aren't accepting Obama and want her to stay in.
You guys might think you're the majority but you're not.

12. yes delusional
the talking heads aren't quite willing to say it--because they don't want to do armchair diagnosing...

But this will be analyzed in just those terms in future IMO.

In fact there are a lot of implications about a LOT of things in Hillary's biggest "mis-speak" to date.

I said a couple weeks ago she needs a long vacation. Looks like she might get it.

14. She's bewildered by the fact that she didn't win the thing in a landslide.
It was supposed to be "her turn".

Of course, she also still thinks not admitting her IWR vote was a mistake is good political calculation.

She's not what you would call "in touch".

15. Like Bush?
The similarities are there. Both so insulated and wrapped up in themselves they cannot understand what's going on around them.

16. I agree and
It's not as if people facing political pressure from inside the party to drop out is unprecedented. Christ, it's happened to many of the other candidates who already dropped out of this democratic primary. I understand that she has "17 million supporters", but it's always a conspiracy theory to her.

17. Yes, it was a little weird.
I started wondering about her after her over-the-top reaction to the fliers that Obama sent out in PA. She was hysterical over something that was pretty minor. The whole "Shame on you Barack Obama" was just plain bizarre and creepy.

20. Obama is using an old campaign tactic, insisting his opponent has "lost"
when the race is a draw. The more support his candidate picks up, the more he claims they're behind. Its an old trick, not really very original.

22. It's not a draw. He has more pledged delegates. The SDs will not overturn the choice of the people.

23. "unprecedented"
That word alone just boggles the mind. Does she not recall, oh, say, the GOP calling repeatedly for Mike Huckabee to get out of the race? Is she so delusional that she actually thinks she's speaking the truth here?

Hillary Clinton is either (A) a pathalogical liar, or (B) batshit crazy. Neither of those options please me.
