So many Democrat posts we have to lump them into one link again

Political Cartoons by Steve Kelley
NY Times Magazine:  It’s Clinton Déjà Vu — New Hampshire Brings Snow and Rumors of Campaign Implosion  . . . " We’ve been here before. This is how it all rolls in the Clinton precincts of Blue America. The situation is so familiar to be its own Democratic Party cliché, like nominating unelectable liberals in the 1980s or engaging in nasty platform fights in the 1990s. Say this about the Clintons, for better or worse: They are predictable" . . .

Dick Morris: Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is falling apart. . . . "Clinton has no competing message, just the charge that Sanders’s supporters are “sexist and vulgar.” Brock adds that one of Sanders’s ads was racist because it had too many white people in it. 
"Their strategy is laughable. After losing 84 percent of young voters in Iowa — and failing to recover them in New Hampshire — they sent in two aging fossils of feminism to insult and threaten young women." . . .

Fed judge tells State Dept it is taking ‘unreasonably long’ to produce Hillary emails  "Just as with her Goldman Sachs transcripts, Hillary has some pretty embarrassing (or incriminating) material to hide.
"Federal judges do not like being played. It will be interesting to see what happens next. "

RedState:

Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Demonstrates Its Contempt For America
"This isn’t news to anyone here. Hillary Clinton was at home serving in the Obama administration because she, like Obama, have an intense dislike of America and utter contempt for Americans who display any attachment to their home country. For them America is not hardworking men and women of every race and ethnicity who do their best to provide for their families and hold up their end of the bargain. For Hillary Clinton, America is a conglomeration of whiny, pissant special interest groups that can be played off against each other and who compete for government benefits and preferences.

The Biggest Winner from New Hampshire Was Hillary Clinton  . . . "Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability rating right now is at 52%, which is absolutely unprecedented for an expected nominee of one of the two major parties. There is no chance that someone with those kinds of ratings has any chance of winning in the general, if they are not an incumbent. The one and only exception to that rule would be if the nominee in question was running against someone who’s unfavorability rating of a whopping 60%, as Donald Trump is. There is absolutely no one Hillary wants to face more – including Ben Carson – than Donald Trump.


National Review Online
Clinton’s Crushing New Hampshire Defeat Leaves Supporters Struggling for Answers  . . . "Pageutte blames New Hampshire’s youth for Clinton’s disastrous loss, pointing to their single-minded obsession with free college education. But the exit polls paint a different picture. 

To Feminist Consternation, Hillary Is Being Judged as an Individual — Not as a Woman


Democrats Wake Up to How Bad a Liar Hillary Is . . . "The biggest liability Hillary Clinton faces in getting the Democratic nomination may be that too many of her fellow Democrats don’t believe she is a good liar.

Weekly Standard:  More Women Vote for Bernie Than Hillary, N.H. Exit Polls Show  "Sanders continues dominance among youth, too"

End of the Line for These Three Republicans?

NRO: How Long Should Christie, Fiorina, and Carson Stick Around?
. . . ""As the race goes on, primary voters tend to cluster around the front-runners. Comebacks are hard in presidential politics. "

RedState  "Sadly, it appears that New Hampshire may have muddied the GOP field, rather than clarifying it. Even though Kasich and Jeb do not have obvious paths forward to the nomination, they are going to convince themselves that they do, at least through Super Tuesday – and they will probably find donors who will indulge that belief. Somewhere, Donald Trump is smiling about it all.


"However, we can at the very least say “sayonara” to three Republicans who have absolutely no path forward after tonight, not even in their own heads. First of all is Ben Carson. After finishing a very distant fourth in Iowa, and dead last in New Hampshire, it is clear that Carson has absolutely no shot at the nomination. None. Zero. His polling is going into the toilet, he’s hemorrhaging the last of his legitimate campaign staff, and he’s in this for the sole reason of taking votes from Ted Cruz.
"The second is Carly Fiorina. Fiorina can’t make debate stages anymore, she can’t get traction in New Hampshire, she can’t even get on the media as a candidate. Fiorina might end up being a talented surrogate and maybe VP candidate for one of the candidates down the road, but the longer she stays in the race, the longer she takes votes from someone who might win, and thus diminishes her chances. I expect Fiorina will bow out soon.

I find it sad, having wanted to learn more of this dignified, articulate lady. If only we could replace Trump with her. TD
"The third is Chris Christie. Christie blew his entire wad on taking down Marco Rubio in the debate on Saturday night. I suspect Marco Rubio will bounce back, but Christie clearly made a dent for now. Unfortunately, Christie himself is an unlikable jackass, and whatever votes he pried away from Rubio went somewhere else as a consequence. . . . 
Is Chris Christie Dropping Out?

Goodbye Chris Christie And Good Riddance   . . . "I hope it was worth it. You had a chance to take on Donald Trump to the betterment of the party and the country and you didn’t. "

This Might Be Why Hillary Won’t Release Her Goldman Sachs Speech Transcripts

flickr
Daily Caller  "As Hillary Clinton resists calls to release transcripts from her paid Goldman Sachs speeches, details of those events are emerging, and they aren’t good for the Democratic presidential candidate.

“ 'It was pretty glowing about us,” one attendee at an Oct. 2013 Goldman Sachs event in Arizona told Politico about Clinton’s speech, which earned the former secretary of state $225,000. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”
“It would bury her against Sanders,” the attendee told Politico, referring to Clinton’s challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

Bernie Sanders to Huddle With Al Sharpton

The Daily Beast . . . "However, by meeting with Sharpton at Sylvia’s Restaurant—the very place then-Sen. Barack Obama sat down with the preacher in 2008—Sanders is sending a message to Clinton forces: Don’t sleep.

. . . "In July 2015, Sanders and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley were interrupted by BlackLivesMatter activists at they attempted to address a conference in Arizona. Sanders stormed off the stage and was later ridiculed on social media under the hashtag #BernieSoBlack. In the months since, the campaign has invested heavily in reopening a conversation with young activists and now believes Clinton is as vulnerable."

"An endorsement from Sharpton is not imminent. But he told The Daily Beast that candidates are mistaken if they believe they can sew up the nomination without reaching out to black voters of every age. That means connecting with young social justice activists across the country as well as civil rights leaders, he said." . . .

Don’t tell Bernie Sanders, but capitalism has made human life fantastically better. Here’s how

Political Cartoons by Glenn Foden

James Pethokoukis "Back in 1995, now-Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said, “I personally happen not to be a great believer in the free enterprise system for many reasons.”
"And having watched Sanders during this primary season, it doesn’t appear to me that the self-described democratic socialist has much changed his opinion of capitalism. Which is both amazing and appalling. The single greatest story of human achievement of the past 2,000 years is the dramatic rise in living standards of the past 200 years. It’s an astounding ascent — see above chart — driven by innovative, entrepreneurial capitalism. Free enterprise. Economic freedom.

"Yes, workers in advanced economies today are many multiples wealthier — almost incalculably so — than their counterparts in the early 19th century. But here is another way of looking at, thanks to a new study by consultancy Deloitte showing how technology-driving innovation has radically altered lives in Britain for the much better:" . . .

Hillary and Bernie links today

From Drudge:
Bill Clinton’s ‘Bimbos’ Flock to Team Trump   . . . "Jones . . .  is not the only one of Bill Clinton’s accusers to reemerge in this increasingly bizarre election.
“ 'I don’t want to see the Clintons back in the White House,” Kathleen Willey told The Daily Beast in a phone interview. Willey, who alleged that Clinton sexually assaulted her while she was a White House aide in 1993 . . .plans to give public speeches assailing Hillary for her alleged attempts to suppress her husband’s accusers." . . .
. . . “I think [Hillary Clinton] is absolutely a liar and I think she is absolutely not for women’s rights,” Broaddrick said." . . .

While Trump and Sanders smell victory, Hillary Clinton contemplates humilation  "Hillary Clinton is running on one issue: Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, very few Americans like Hillary Clinton."


Political Cartoons by Steve Breen
Maraniss: Bill Clinton 'Frail,' 'No Gleam,' 'No Electricity'  . . . "He lit up only when Chelsea talked about him. Then when it was his turn to talk a little bit of his old self came back, but not much." . . .
Sanders' last night turns into hippie music festival
American Thinker:
What if Sanders supporters see a crooked Clinton?   . . . "Given the microscopic lead Clinton had in the Iowa caucus of 49.9% for Clinton and 49.6% for Sanders, any fraud could have cost Sanders a victory, for which his supporters had campaigned so hard.
"So all those voters who drove long hours in Iowa winter nights to hear Sanders speak might have been cheated by corrupt party hacks controlled by the Clinton machine." . . .
Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson

Bernie and Hillary Both Wrong About Evil Bankers   . . . "Hillary accuses Bernie of “innuendo.”
"But they both want you to believe that “greedy bankers” rather than stupid government policy cause the Crash of 2008. So we need Dodd-Frank to keep the bankers tame and obedient.

Lloyd Marcus: The Sanders/Clinton Rocky Horror Show: A Sneak Peek  . . . "I could go on and on with examples of how Democrats seek to destroy every principle, value, and institution that have made America great and that most Americans hold dear. Democrats hide their evil socialist/progressive intended transformation of America beneath a shroud of faux compassion. Everything coming out of the Democratic Party is either anti-God or anti-American." . . .

PJ Media: Shakeup at Camp Clinton   . . . "Such arrogance led directly to the idea that Clinton could simply project an air of inevitability and be assured her party’s nomination. If she wins—-as she very well might—-it will be in spite of her original approach.
This next line is sinfully delicious:
No one could have predicted Barack Obama’s sudden rise, though the Clinton campaign was slower to recognize it than most.
"Replace "Barack Obama" with "Bernie Sanders," and Joshua Green could almost refile his old piece as brand-new reporting." . . .

    . . . "Several fans hit out at Beyonce over the music video and advocated boycotting the Super Bowl, accusing her of spreading an anti-cop message which only serves to further divide communities.
    "Writing on the singer's Facebook page yesterday, Kristen Wickham said: 'As the wife of a police officer, I am offended by this entire video. Rise above and stay above the strife. 
    " 'For a girl who grew up in a privileged, wealthy family, she has no business pandering to those who didn't. She has no idea what struggle is.
    " 'I have unliked you and your husband's pages, deleted all of your songs from my collection and will never buy another thing associated with either of you.'

    Following her Super Bowl performance on Sunday night Twitter was again filled with people supporting Beyonce, claiming she had given a 'history lesson' to viewers. Beyonce spoke afterwards of how thrilling it was to perform at the Super Bowl.She told ET online that it 'felt great' to perform Formation. She added: 'I wanted people to feel proud and have love for themselves.'

    Hoary old Bill making liberals sweat

    Russ Vaughn  "Brit Hume, speaking on FOX News, noted that Bill Clinton is now an elderly man – a thought that I'll wager has been going through many American minds since last Monday night, when Hillary gave her post-caucus acceptance...er, victory speech in Iowa.  While much of the television audience was focused on the fuming candidate, many were mesmerized by an airhead Clinton voter in the crowd behind the podium.  The young man was upstaging madam secretary by trying to lick her campaign stickers off his cheeks.  But many, including me, were fixed on and fascinated by the former president standing behind his podium-pounding partner." . . .

    Despite misleading articles to the contrary, Michelle Obama did not institute a new rule that banned the U.S. Navy from serving fried foods.

    Snopes   "Claim: Michelle Obama instituted a new rule that prohibits the Navy from serving fried foods."

    Just read that Michelle Obama has taken food away from members of the military services. Is this true?
    "Origins:    On 12 July 2015 the Navy Times reported that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus had announced a new food initiative for that branch of the armed services which would be "the foundation of a healthy lifestyle." Among the changes reported by Mabus was a new menu for sailors that lacks fried foods such as breaded chicken and french fries, has more fruits and vegetables, and replaces whole milk with skim and soy:" . . .
    . . . 
    "In regards to the claim made above, although first Lady Michelle Obama has been a leading voice in promoting healthier eating to combat obesity, she was not mentioned in the Navy Times article or the "Go for Green" press release. Nonetheless, several people still took to Facebook to blame the First Lady for the announced changes to Navy food servings:" . . .

    Seven Facts About the Black Panther Party Amid Beyoncé Super Bowl Tribute

    Big Government

    Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images

    "The part-socialist, part-black nationalist Black Panther Party is headline news again, thanks to Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show performance of her song “Formation,”–“a big wet kiss to Black Lives Matter” that pays tribute to the 1960s militant group.

    "In the fall of 1966, the Black Panther Party was founded by left-wing militants Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Newton, like Seale, had several run-ins with police. He was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the shooting death of an Oakland police officer. Publicity around his arrest and the popularity of “Free Newton” propaganda provided the public pressure that led to his release.
    "Seale and seven others (now known as the Chicago Seven) were arrested at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Seale was sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court. He now lives and works with young political activists in Oakland, California.
    "Below are seven facts about the Black Panther Party:" . . .

    Hillary's world lately

    Brock: Time for Bernie's 'purity bubble' to be burst
    “Senator Sanders is trying to live in the purity bubble, and it needs to be burst," David Brock said.
    . . . " On the topic of Sanders’ boisterous supporters — some of whose attacks Bill Clinton called “vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane … not to mention sexist” — Brock echoed the former president’s concerns, adding that Hillary Clinton’s large deficit among young voters can be partly explained by their online environment." . . .

    . . . "To that end, Hillary asked herself what vivacious, high-powered celebrity superstar could help her reel in those youthful female votes, and she came up with...Madeleine Albright. The 78-year old Secretary of State under Bill Clinton (although we don't know how often), who helped negotiate an Iran-style deal with the North Koreans which gave them billions of dollars in aid to keep them from ever building the kind of nuclear weapons they tested last month, or ever developing an intercontinental ballistic missile of the type they launched Saturday."
    Daily Caller
    Katherine Timpf: Sorry, Madeline Albright, but I’d Rather Go to Hell Than Support Hillary Clinton   . . . "Personally, I would never support Hillary. She’s a hawkish, lying, corrupt, untrustworthy woman. She cares about nothing except money and her own political prowess, and will destroy anyone who dares to get in her way.

    Bill Clinton Slams Bernie Supporters as Being 'Sexist' Toward Hillary . . . "On Bill Maher's show Friday night, Gloria Steinem suggested that young women are backing Sanders' campaign because "when you're young, you're thinking, 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie." Maher promptly told Steinem that she'd "smack" him if he suggested the same thing.
    "Executive director of Progressive Democrats of America said in response to Steinem's comments that if you're pro-choice "presumably that includes the right to our own political decisions as well.' " . . .
