No, no, no, no, no. Pricey God, no.
Hillary Clinton is significantly mulling a run in 2024. There’s merely no different method to interpret her speech at Thursday’s New York state Democratic Social gathering Conference.
Just like the Tracy Flick she is, Clinton might barely make it by name-checking Gov. Kathy Hochul earlier than eagerly leapfrogging into nationwide politics.
Apologies to Tracy Flick. At the least she knew the way to win an election.
Not sufficient that Hillary carpetbagged her method right into a New York state seat within the US Senate, itself a pretext for her first failed presidential run.
Nope, Hillary had to make use of New York’s pandemic-era struggling as her excuse for addressing all the things and something however New York’s continued battle for survival.
“We have now confronted these challenges right here in New York,” Hillary started, “at a time when the nation is deeply and dangerously divided.”
Refined.
Does she not recall which two figures got here to epitomize our deeply and dangerously divided nation again in 2016? “I do know many people hoped that defeating Trump would heal our divisions,” mentioned the lady who thinks herself unifying, calming, uncontroversial.
But this speech, if something, ought to remind the Dems why Hillary misplaced not as soon as however twice: She fails to encourage.
The political maxim of campaigning in poetry however governing in prose has clearly by no means resonated with Hillary.
Contemplate these warmed-over chestnuts from Thursday’s speech:
“We have to concentrate on options that matter to voters.”
“The battle for unity and democracy is way from over.”
“Democrats are combating for safer communities and extra alternatives … higher jobs and better wages … well being care and housing that doesn’t break the financial institution.”
Make no mistake: Hillary’s combating for what she sees as her birthright, her destiny, one she is not going to be denied.
We’re all going to need to undergo this once more.
Assume I’m kidding?
Hillary forged a large internet on this ostensibly state-centered speech, hitting on all the things from Russia and China to the Jan. 6 riot, voting rights, reproductive rights, labor unions, little one tax credit, paid household go away, well being care and — canine whistle to reasonable and institution Dems — “tradition warfare nonsense,” a ok a woketivism.
It was classic Hillary Clinton, missing in nuance, subtext or humility. Her simply decoded message: Biden’s previous, confused and weak. Kamala’s a non-starter. Far-lefties like Bernie and Warren aren’t wished. Who else ya acquired?
Hillary, in any case, likes to forged herself as the one sane grownup within the room.
She fails to comprehend: Madness is doing the identical factor again and again and anticipating completely different outcomes.
