Hillary Clinton’s standing as a prominent political figure is like the Frankenstine’s monster of the political Left. They just won’t let it die.
Case in point: 358 full days post-2016 election, Clinton was awarded the Democratic Woman of the Year Award from the Women’s Democratic Club Thursday, as detailed in a piece by the New York Times entitled “Hillary Clinton Gets an Award and Tears Are Shed.”
Because at this point, even the left-leaning NYT can’t even get excited enough about their favored – and failed – presidential candidate to come up with a halfway interesting headline.
To a multitude of boo-hoos from audience members still stunned that Queen Hillary isn't sitting on the Iron Throne, WNDC President Nuchhi Currier lamented over Clinton’s defeat at the hands of President Trump, waxing nostalgic about the former Secretary of State-turned-uranium benefactor who almost became president.
But didn’t. Again – now 359 days ago.
During her own speech, Clinton droned on and on about Russia and sexism, once again regurgitating talking points from her memoire blaming her election loss on about 927 things besides her own sketchy self.
“I got more votes than anybody except Barack Obama in 2008,” Mrs. Clinton reminded everybody, stopping just shy of throwing herself on the arena floor and screaming “IT WAS MY TURN!”
Clinton didn’t, of course, address the giant elephant – or, rather, the second donkey? – in the room, also known as the massive bombshell dropped by one Donna Brazile who came clean about how Hillary’s campaign rigged the DNC primary against Bernie Sanders. Because it’s much more ear-tickling to focus on unproven claims of a Trump-Russia collusion than to acknowledge your own blatant election fixing that screwed over half your base.
Given their apparent inability to stop mourning over a now-obsolete former candidate who rigged an election and then handily lost it nearly a full year ago -- and who, frankly, wasn't all that popular with her own party's constituency to begin with -- I’ll take this latest award as an admission that the Left never, ever, ever wants to win an election ever again.
