Rush Limbaugh: Hillary ‘falling apart before our very eyes’ – WND.com

With the 2016 presidential election far in the rear-view mirror, failed candidate Hillary Clinton is now breaking down in public, with her seemingly endless list of excuses of why she lost to Republican Donald Trump, says radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Shes having a breakdown right before our eyes, Limbaugh said on his Wednesday broadcast.

Hillary Clinton is falling apart before our very eyes. And its important to note this because Hillary Clinton has been presented to us as the smartest woman in the world, the toughest woman in the world, the woman who could have been president if she had not hitched her wagon to that loser [Bill] Clinton.

And now whats happened to her? She is delirious. She cannot live in reality. She cannot accept whats happening. She has been rejected. This is the most-cheated-on woman in America, including by her own party.

The 2016 Democratic nominee recently criticized her own political party, claiming she inherited nothing from the Democratic National Committee for the general campaign.

I mean it was bankrupt, it was on the verge of insolvency, its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it, Clinton told the 2017 Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, last week.

Limbaugh says if anyone was owed something by a political party, it was Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary Clinton singlehandedly saved her husbands administration, Limbaugh explained. I dont care if she did it for selfish reasons. I dont care if she did it for calculating reasons that would say that I have to do this to become president myself. She still did it. She ate the excrement sandwich that being married to that guy was.

In her mind, her party abandoned her, the Democratic National Committee abandoned her, even though they worked with her to rig the primary, her money people abandoned her, nobody helped her, everybody left her and hung her out to dry. She couldnt trust anybody. Shes dumping on everybody that worked on her campaign except for Huma [Abedin], and its all happening in public. Shes blaming 19 different things and people for her loss including are you ready? a thousand Russian agents in Macedonia.

Hillary has also blamed former FBI Director James Comey, WikiLeaks, fake news and misogyny for her election loss.

Limbaugh noted Mrs. Clinton has had a lifetime of hype as the best, as the smartest, as the most entitled. Shes living in this fantasy world.

Rush Limbaugh

In her mind, you dont know how much she actually accepts and how much she lies to herself, but regardless what shes telling herself, the end result is loss, loss, loss. Humiliating defeat. Its got to be hard psychologically when you measure that against what she expected, what everybody promised her, what she assumed. You know in her private moments, in two different campaigns, shes actually imagining being in the Oval Office with herself behind that desk.

In the end, Limbaugh sounded like he had some empathy for Hillary, saying, I defy any of you to put yourself in her situation and not be psychologically ripped to shreds.

Speaking in Baltimore, Hillary Clinton praises London mayor for leadership following attack – Baltimore Sun

Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, speaking Monday in Baltimore to an organization that provides leadership training to African-American students, said the world would benefit from "steady, determined leadership" in response to the recent terror attacks in the United Kingdom.

Without mentioning President Donald J. Trump by name, or addressing his policies directly, Clinton pointedly said it was leaders overseas including London Mayor Sadiq Khan who were reacting to those events with poise and resolve. Trump criticized Khan in social media postings after the attack Saturday that left seven dead and dozens injured.

"It's a time for steady, determined leadership, like we are seeing from local authorities in London, including the mayor of London," Clinton said at the fundraiser in Fells Point for the Elijah Cummings Youth Program in Israel. "This is not a time to lash out, to incite fear or to use tragedy and terror for political gain.

"Normally this would go without saying, but we are not living in normal times."

Clinton's address her first in Baltimore since she made a campaign stop in the city last year was less political, and less focused on the election, than several of her more recent speeches. Much of her 15-minute address centered on the group itself, named after Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Baltimore and developed to strengthen relationships between the African American and Jewish communities.

The program provides leadership and public service training as well as a trip to Israel for a dozen Baltimore students every year. It is a 19-year-old collaboration between the Democratic congressman and the Baltimore Jewish Council.

"It has never been more important for young Americans to see themselves as part of a global community," Clinton told a sold-out crowd at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park. "This program's mission of spreading tolerance is more urgent than ever."

Still, as she spoke in a city and state that overwhelmingly supported her candidacy last year, Clinton took a number of subtle swipes at the man who won the national election.

"I'm asked quite often these days, what can we do? And the answer is as varied as the questioners," Clinton said. "There are so many ways for us to reach out, bring people together, set some common goals and work toward achieving them, to help build that brighter future for generations to come and, yes, for building leaders by building bridges, not walls."

A White House spokesman and the chairman of the Maryland Republican Party did not respond to requests for comment.

Cummings, who underwent what aides described as minimally invasive heart surgery on May 24, did not attend the event and instead appeared in a recorded video message to introduce Clinton. Wearing a blue and white dress shirt, Cummings appeared healthy and spoke in his usual deep voice and cadence.

"I had to get a tune up," Cummings joked. "Feeling good."

Clinton's remarks about the attack in London followed an unusual exchange between the president and the mayor of that city. Trump posted Sunday on Twitter that: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'"

The mayor appeared to be making that comment in the context of an increased police presence following the attack. "Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days," Khan said. "There's no reason to be alarmed."

Asked about the exchange Monday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders blamed the media, which she suggested had misinterpreted the mayor's remarks.

"I think that the point is, there is a reason to be alarmed," she said. "We have constant attacks going on not just there but across the globe, and we have to start putting national security and global security at an all-time high."

Direct discussion of the election was absent from Clinton's address on Monday. Since reemerging into public view this spring, she has blamed Russian interference and ousted FBI director James Comey for contributing to Trump's win.

The game was rigged against Hillary Clinton – Chicago Tribune

Like columnist Jonah Goldberg, I get frustrated when Hillary Clinton fails to take responsibility for her electoral college loss. Clinton often leaves out the factors that were under her control when talking about her electoral defeat.

However, I would argue that Goldberg and the Tribune are failing to give adequate attention to the glaring problem with the American electoral system: that the chosen candidate of the voters did not become president. Perhaps this is because columnists cannot think of anything new to say about the Electoral College. Perhaps it is because politicians are not talking about the issue. Perhaps it is because a path to becoming a normal democracy one where the candidate with the most votes wins is difficult to see because of the likelihood of Republican opposition.

But this problem should be talked about. To build on Goldbergs sports analogy: It is unseemly for the losing coach to deflect blame for her defeat. But it is legitimate for her teams fans be upset that the game was rigged, rigged so that the team that scored the most points lost. And it is frustrating when analyses of the game ignore this injustice.

Hillary Clinton is sounding no saner than Trump nowadays – Washington Examiner

In the last election, it seems safe to say, a fairly large number of people crossed themselves, prayed for absolution, hoped no one was watching and pulled the lever (or its equivalent) for Hillary Clinton. They considered her at least a sane and a rational adult human being, or at least a better alternative than giving control of the nuclear arsenal to an erratic, unstable, self-obsessed zillionaire, touchy about the size of his crowds and his extremities, given to paranoid outbursts, denials, and fantasies when things went against him.

Now these voters are coming to realize there was never a choice. We were doomed to elect a deranged zillionaire from the beginning. For Clinton, ever more dazed by her second straight failure to crack the glass ceiling, now stands on the edge of the cliff of delusion, about to slide into the abyss.

If you doubt this, please read the transcript of her appearance at Code 2017 (on the website http://www.recode.net), and ask yourself if she hasn't had too much of the Chardonnay she said she was drinking, or if Trump really did drive her crazy, or if the concussion she suffered some years ago caused her more problems than one at the moment had thought.

Did you think that the scandals the server, the speeches, and Clinton Inc. were the problem, along with a bad campaign plan, tone-deaf advisors, and indifference to the struggles of hard-pressed working class voters in the upper Midwest? Not at all.

"Her main takeaway," the Washington Post's Dan Balz tells us, "was that she lost in large part because of Russian interference, hacking and meddling."

"She is fluent in the vernacular of how the Russians interfered, tossing out comments about bots that are just out of control' and the proliferation of fake news ... as she long has done with details of health care," Balz tells us. "Based on the discussion ... she has spent many hours deep in the weeds of the 2016 campaign, analyzing data from a variety of sources and replaying events so that now, nearly seven months later, it is as if all this happened yesterday." There is no explanation for why, if this went on for so long and was so effective, she had what she says was a sizable lead on Oct. 28. But she may not feel one is needed. It was Clinton's friend Sidney Blumenthal who was called "Grassy Knoll" for his conspiracy theories, but it's she who sounds like the better exemplar. Any day now she may tell us it was these Russian agents (in collusion with the Mercers and other GOP donors) who helped Ted Cruz's father kill JFK.

Of course, it wasn't fake news that lost the election for Clinton, but the very real news created without Russian agents by her and her friends. The private server she used for government business had brought on the investigation by the federal government. Her husband's visit to Loretta Lynch last summer had made her recuse herself and give Comey discretion. The emails were discovered on the laptop of the husband of her closest assistant, seized by authorities pursuant to his trial on charges of sexting a minor, for which he may soon go to jail.

If Clinton had had a rational mind or a sound moral grounding, she would know this already, but she hasn't and doesn't. She's not better than Trump, just a little bit different. We had no one to vote for at all.
