America's mother-daughter team: Hillary and Chelsea. Horrifying update.

Oh, before we begin, let's set the stage: Dem Panic: Hillary’s Catastrophic Collapse In One Chart  More at the link.


Fareed-Zakaria

Now back to the Clinton team:
Hillary campaign throws Chelsea under the bus  "Chelsea Clinton’s debut as a campaign attack dog was disastrous.  As disastrous as her mother’s attempted quip about wiping a server “with a cloth.”  As disastrous as her stint as an overpaid NBC correspondent.  It was so bad that her mother’s campaign is distancing itself from her comments."
. . . 


"In response, the campaign is disclaiming any responsibility for Chelsea’s blunder:
Asked if she would continue to attack Sanders and whether she’s suited for the role, [campaign spokesman Brian] Fallon called Chelsea Clinton “policy-obsessed” and said the attack lines had not been planned.
. . . "Last night, Hillary Clinton was interviewed on a Lifetime show called “The Conversation” by host Amanda de Cadenent and a bunch of “YouTube stars,” and I must admit that it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. 

"It was much, much worse."

Earlier this week, Politico touted the interview as something that would be “showing off a softer side” of Mrs. Clinton. In other words: It would be her campaign’s 9 billionth attempt at humanizing her, an attempt to get voters excited about Hillary the Gal and not just Hillary the Candidate.
. . . 

"In any case, the quote was far from the only thing that had de Cadenet freaking out as if she had just had her first kiss with the most popular guy in school. At one point, she was so unable to contain her excitement that she suddenly burst out “I could sit and talk to you for so long!” to which Hillary replied “This Is So Much Fun!”
. . . 
"Whoa! The little boys she grew up with wanted to play with other little boys instead of girls when they were children? How traumatic – and to think that she probably grew up believing that this devastating experience was a normal one! 


"Oh wait. It is."

 


UPDATE from WaPo: The case for Jerry Brown to run for president  Maybe we should root for Hillary to be the Dem candidate after all.
"Amid the breathless speculation as to whether Vice President Biden will get into the Democratic presidential race -- and, if not Biden, then who else? -- there's one name that's consistently overlooked: Jerry Brown."
