\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Hillary Clinton. I mentioned earlier in the previous hour that she was stumped when asked to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists. It happened actually last night where Hillary was unable to explain the difference between Democrats and socialists. She said, “Uh, uh, you know, uh, you… you … you … you\u2019d have to ask. I\u2019m not one.” It happened on PMSNBC. It was Chris Matthews asking her what the difference in a Democrat and a socialist is and whether or not she identified as a socialist.<\/p>\n

She said (summarized), “No, no, no, no, I\u2019m not a socialist. You\u2019d have to go ask one. I don\u2019t know what a socialist is. I\u2019m a Democrat.” So she\u2019s fumbling the question. I mean, you would think somebody who is the presumptive Democrat nominee, smartest woman in the world, would have some kind of a retort, some kind of a quip, some kind of a response to this, some ability to think on her feet. It\u2019s like Trump said yesterday: She needs the biggest teleprompters in the world when she goes out.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s worse than Obama at this stuff. She can\u2019t speak off the cuff. She doesn\u2019t have natural political skills. Hillary\u2019s political skills are only useful when she\u2019s out of sight, behind the scenes, manipulating things. But her public political talents are nonexistent. In fact the only reason Hillary Clinton is even in politics today is because her last name is Clinton and the Democrat Party thinks they owe her. But just her own resume, her own existence, her own talents, there\u2019s nothing that says this woman is destined to be president.<\/p>\n


\nThere\u2019s nothing that says this woman\u2019s a cut above others. There\u2019s nothing that says this woman\u2019s smart, experienced, brilliant. None of that. This is anything but justified talent on display. So she\u2019s sitting there, she\u2019s fumbling the question. And Chris Matthews even gave her an out. He says, “Look, I\u2019d say Hillary, you\u2019re pretty typical Democrat. But is that a question you want to answer, would you rather not?” She said, “Well, I can tell you what I am. I\u2019m a progressive Democrat who likes to get things done and who believes that we\u2019re better off in this country when we\u2019re trying to solve problems together, getting people to work together.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not what she\u2019s about. There isn\u2019t a Democrat in the world about that! This was exactly what I was talking about the first hour. This is the kind of spin that masks who they really are. They\u2019re not interested in cooperation. They don\u2019t believe in working together. They don\u2019t even believe that their opposition is legitimate, and their objective is to eliminate opposition, not cooperate with it, not recognize that it exists. There is no other point of view that\u2019s legitimate. There is no other way.<\/p>\n

All there is, is a bunch of people standing in the way who have to be eliminated — in a political sense, of course. She says, “There will always be strong feelings, and I respect that from the far right and the far left, libertarians, whoever they might be. We gotta get people working together. We gotta get the economy fixed. We gotta get hold our problems, really ta…” What the hell have you been doing the last seven years? You know, another thing here that always fascinates me.<\/p>\n

When we have seven years of a Democrat regime under the belt, here comes the next Democrat that wants to be president and they have to criticize what\u2019s gone on here, and when they do there is nothing said about it. What is this? What does she mean, “We gotta get the economy fixed”? Why isn\u2019t it fixed? We\u2019ve had seven years of what Hillary believes in. We\u2019ve had seven years of deficit spending. We\u2019ve had seven years of the most irresponsible spending. We\u2019ve had seven years of utopia. We\u2019ve had seven years of the Democrats being unstoppable.<\/p>\n
