Vetting Hillary. She's actually well-vetted, but the left doesn't care.

 Hillary's logo    "The release of Hillary Clinton's launch video late Sunday afternoon not only ruined boozy brunches and wholesome family outings for countless political journalists—it nearly overshadowed the real Clinton news of the day: our first glimpse of the official logo that will define her 2016 campaign. The logo, pictured above, got a mixed response on Twitter."
 
2Hillary Clinton, Champion of the Downtrodden?  . . . "All of which made another part of the Clinton rollout — a new photo spread in the trendy fashion magazine ELLE featuring Chelsea Clinton modeling high-priced clothing, jewelry and shoes while discussing equal opportunity — … a discordant note in ClintonWorld’s big week.
"One photo in the ELLE article featured this caption:

Chelsea Clinton in a Gucci dress, Mateo New York bracelet, Cartier bracelet, Garland Collection ring, Halleh ring.   . . .

ABC’s Jonathan Karl: Hillary’s Popularity ‘Has Taken A Beating’ Since She Left Office As Secretary Of State  (Video) 

From April 2014:  Reporter Asks State Dept for One Accomplishment from Hillary Clinton’s Big Review Process. Let’s See What Happens."Nearly four years later, AP reporter Matt Lee asked State Department Jen Psaki to name one thing that Clinton’s QDDR accomplished. Just one."
"She can’t." . . .


. . . "On April 3, 2014, Hillary Clinton spoke at the Women of the World Summit in New York City and was asked what she was most proud of during her tenure as Secretary of State. Clinton could not provide any concrete examples of the accomplishments she holds in high regard."

Update: Hillary's running! Oh Hill no! Clinton’s stale presidential plan wrong for nation

UPDATE: Second shot: Hillary Clinton running again for president

. . . "The GOP did not wait for her announcement to begin their campaign against her. The party's chairman, Reince Priebus, has outlined plans for a broad effort to try to undermine her record as secretary of state while arguing that her election would be like giving Obama a "third term."
"Republicans have jumped on Clinton's use of a personal email account and server while she was secretary of state, as well as her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.
"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in his own online video, said Sunday: "We must do better than the Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has damaged relationships with our allies and emboldened our enemies.' " . . .

 Bill & Hillary Clinton: A Life of Violating People  . . . "Hillary is a street criminal who thinks it is perfectly OK to send thugs over to beat and nearly murder Gary Johnson, Gennifer Flowers’ neighbor, (6-26-92) because he had videotapes of Bill often entering Gennifer’s condominium. Hillary is a serial perjurer who says she did not give orders to fire the White House Travel Office in 1993, even though David Watkins later said Hillary said to “fire their asses” and he wrote a memo saying there would be “hell to pay” if they Travel Office was not fired immediately.
 

"Hillary is a misogynist and phony “feminist” – like Bill – who thinks that Bill’s victims and girlfriends are “sluts,” “whores,” and “bitches.” Hillary hires a secret police like Anthony Pellicano (now in jail) and Jack Palladino to intimidate and terrify these victims and girls into silence. Hillary would rather protect and enable her rapist husband Bill than send him to jail." . . .

. . . "She’s been on the national stage for a quarter-century, though because of all the drama, it feels like we’ve lived through several lifetimes with her. Along the way, she’s reinvented herself more often than Madonna. While the spectacle of an aging hoofer trying to keep up with the kids is riveting, the kicks aren’t what they used to be and the odor of desperation is unavoidable."
. . .
"The real issue is Clinton fatigue, a national exhaustion from having been-there-done-that too many times. Her husband’s popularity counts for something, but she’s already milked that cow dry.
She’s got to make a case that goes beyond just wanting the Oval Office. She’s got to earn it and I’m not sure she can.

"Here’s another blast from the past — Monica Lewinsky is 41 and wants to reclaim her identity, making her a potential bombshell that could explode without notice.
. . . 
 "That bad run of experiences could have forged her character into something admirable, but her performance so far has been a disaster. Instead of re-emerging as a smarter and more focused force rejuvenated by defeat and exile, she seems to have learned nothing and changed not a whit."

 The tough questions Hillary faces as candidate". . . Camille Paglia had this to say about a Clinton candidacy: “[H]illary does not have it. Hillary is a mess. And we’re going to reward the presidency to a woman who’s enabled the depredations and exploitation of women by that cornpone husband of hers? The way feminists have spoken makes us blind to Hillary’s record of trashing [women]. They were going to try to destroy Monica Lewinsky. It’s a scandal. Anyone who believe in sexual harassment guidelines should have seen that the disparity of power between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was one of the most grotesque ever in the history of sex crime. He’s a sex criminal. We’re going to put that guy back in the White House? Hillary’s ridden on his coattails. This is not a woman who has her own career, who’s made her own career! The woman who failed the bar exam in Washington. The only reason she went to Arkansas and got a job in the Rose law firm was because her husband was a politician.”

Is Hillary Clinton a Husband Beater? . . . " Last week a new book about life behind the scenes at the White House included reports that Hillary Clinton physically attacked her husband on other occasions.

 Silvio Canto, Jr. calls her a "Phony"  ". . . A President Hillary Clinton could be better at hammering out deals with lawmakers (of both parties) than President Obama has been. She would almost certainly try harder.

"But to what end? For someone who has been on the national stage for a quarter-century, her beliefs are strangely hard to pin down." . .  .
