Honest Hillary Might Not Be the Nominee

Douglas Schoen: A Sanders win in California would turbocharge the mounting Democratic unease about her viability.  "There is now more than a theoretical chance that Hillary Clinton may not be the Democratic nominee for president.

"How could that happen, given that her nomination has been considered a sure thing by virtually everyone in the media and in the party itself? Consider the possibilities.

"The inevitability behind Mrs. Clinton’s nomination will be in large measure eviscerated if she loses the June 7 California primary to Bernie Sanders. That could well happen." . . .

. . . There is every reason to believe that at the convention Mr. Sanders will offer a rules change requiring superdelegates to vote for the candidate who won their state’s primary or caucus. A vote on that proposed change would almost certainly occur—and it would function as a referendum on the Clinton candidacy. If Mr. Sanders wins California, Montana and North Dakota on Tuesday and stays competitive in New Jersey, he could well be within 200 pledged delegates of Mrs. Clinton, making a vote in favor of the rules change on superdelegates more likely. . . .

Hillary’s long record of lying to keep the public in the dark



2015: Hillary Clinton -- Once a Congenital Liar, Always a Congenital Liar   . . . "But the late New York Times op-ed columnist, William Safire, had her number early on, as this gem from 1996 about the prevaricating first lady illustrates:

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar. Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.

1. Remember the story she told about studying The Wall Street Journal to explain her 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity trading? We now know that was a lie told to turn aside accusations that as the Governor's wife she profited corruptly, her account being run by a lawyer for state poultry interests through a disreputable broker.

 Hillary is still a bad liar despite decades of practice

"Hillary Rodham Clinton lies.

"This is a widely acknowledged fact among people who pay attention and aren’t on her payroll.
