Hillary at the Grammys, rhe Star of Hollywood...but not the White House

If Hillary gave a presidential address, could you believe a word she said?

She'd rather be on TV Tuesday night   
. . . "In the end, it probably turned people off. After all, am I the only who finds it disgusting to watch U.S. performers talk about repression? They should read The Gulag Archipelago or talk to people who live under serious repression and get the real story.
"It seems that the ratings were another disaster, with the lowest viewership since the awards first aired. Furthermore, I'm sure that Mrs. Clinton would have rather be delivering the State of the Union on Tuesday night.
"She is silly, this woman named  Hillary Clinton!"

Hillary Embarrasses Herself at the Grammys
It’s merely unbecoming for a winner to taunt his vanquished foe. It’s pathetic for a loser to poke fun at the man who beat her.
. . . "Leave aside the indignity of Hillary Clinton, a former first lady, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, appearing in a cheap throwaway gag at the Grammys during which she reads a bit from the book Fire and Fury about President Trump’s love of junk food. Leave aside the fact that her husband was also once notorious for his love of McDonald’s. Leave aside the fact that she and her husband have, like Trump, been the subject of scurrilous, vicious, largely made-up junk-journalism that doesn’t even pass the laugh test, much less a rigorous fact-checking process. She lost; she has no standing to make fun of the man who beat her.

"I say this with no emotional stake in the matter, because I didn’t vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump: Clinton can’t dunk on Trump after the game is over and he has won. He’s the president; she’s not and she never will be. Losers don’t get to taunt winners. This isn’t a matter of sportsmanship, but a matter of dignity: A loser humiliates herself by poking fun at the guy who beat her. Half a day later, Trump, the most irritable man on earth, hadn’t deigned to respond to Clinton’s taunt. He didn’t have to. It was too pathetic to merit a response." . . .  Full article.

"The woman who would be president embarrassed herself at the Grammys Sunday night."
His son, Donald Trump Jr., gave a powerful response. "Getting to read a  book excerpt at the Grammys seems like a great consolation prize for losing the presidency," Trump Jr. tweeted.
"The only female advancement/empowerment Mrs. Clinton has ever been interested in is her own."  . . . "While most of her supporters can't think of anyone who's a bigger and better champion for women than Clinton, here comes the bucket of salt to pour in that 2016 wound that never really healed.  According to the New York Times, Clinton  shielded one of her advisers, Burns Strider, from being fired for repeatedly sexually harassing a younger staffer during her 2008 presidential campaign." . . . 



From Legal Insurrection: Hillary Clinton joined in the ‘Fire and Fury’ fun, taking the already bad sketch to a new level of annoying.  . . . "Sunday’s Grammy Awards proved once again that the American entertainment industry is increasingly disconnected from the people they’re meant to entertain.
"As part of the show, artists read excerpts from Michael Wolff’s ‘Fire and Fury’, an anti-Trump book. ‘Fire and Fury’, a problematic work (the veracity of which Wolff himself is unsure) blew up the news cycle prior to its release several weeks ago." . . .
