Thread: Does Hillary really think the public is that stupid?

After her wins in Ohio and Rhode Island, and virtual tie in TX, as the majority of delegates will actually go to Obama there, she implied that a 'Dream Team' ticket would be an option, obviously implying that Obama join her ticket.

The question is does she honestly think we are so stupid as to believe her campaign talk about him not being ready on day one but obviously ready to lead on day two should something happen to her? Is this just more bad judgement by Hillary or are people so stupid as to look past such obvious logical flaws?

She Does because it's the only thing she really has to go with.
Does her "experience" really qualify her that much more. She pushed a failed health care plan and has a half term longer in the senate than Obama.
I still think hope will prevail....
(damn I hate this)

I understand why she is doing it, what I'm wondering is whether Americans are really stupid enough to listen to the message without even thinking about what it is. There is no logic in the idea that he isn't ready today but would be ready on day two should something happen to her. Either she is lying about him being ready or her judgement is very poor.

The reality is that Obama cannot accept a VP position if he wants to have a future in presidential politics. If he accepted he would lose everything he stands for, the idea that Washington is broken and needs new blood. If he sells out now his future is bleak.

As for her 'experience' I would heartily agree, she has nothing to offer accept a few years on Obama.

I think it served a few purposes, none of which involve you believing anything in particular. Republicans are kackling like Hyenas predicting the destruction of the Democratic party. I think Hillary was trying to creat the impression that she isn't too proud to be the VP. Nobody can tell you that a Hillary/Obama ticket no matter who's VP won't win. Obama can't let them know he would be VP because that lessens the threat of party destruction by division and he needs to get momentum back because most of those superdelegates are Hillary's pals. Obama knows superdelagates will in effect be deciding who is VPOTUS and POTUS and wants to gather up more steam so he's on top.

If Obama wants to commit political suicide and take a VP slot, that's his business, but it will not help the party, particularly if it looks as though he is forced into the role because the superdelegates refuse to back him even if he has the popular vote advantage and the delegate advantage. If the statement was one of Hillary conceding the fact she would be happy to be VP, then why not concede the race as it is impossible for her to catch up in delegates before the convention. I'm not saying you are buying into her BS, but some of us would like some clarification to such statements. If she wants to parade around the country telling people he isn't ready on day one, then she should certainly qualify how he could be a viable VP.

Does Hillary think we're stupid? Yes, all of "them" think we're stupid. I'm beginning to wonder if they might be correct, seeing what we've put up with in elected offices for many decades. This election doesn't seem any better.
I think she'd love Obama to run with her, but i don't think he would, nor would he pick her for VP, Michele wouldn't allow it.

I still think clarification would be "Obama, I would love for you to be my running mate because my Superdelegates aren't going to care if you have popular votes and more delegates, and I will make it legal."



But that doesn't sound as good as "dream ticket", and I'd be proud to be"
Ya know what.....you were right the first time, does she really think the public is that stupid? Overconfidence does cause people to get sloppy doesn't it? Or maybe she's exhausted and insane now after all this, it may have been too much.

Who do you think would win in a cage fighting match, Hillary, Michele, or Cindy. I bet Cindy has some chops, probably works out a lot to keep so trim at that age. Michele would just probably be all "I got your rays of sunshine from heaven right here Hillary come get em'". But then Hillary, you never know, she might snap and let the sum of all her rage loose like a cannon and there would be only chared bones from the others left.

I hope a cartoonist does something like that.

Of course Hillary thinks the public is stupid, she's a socialist and thinks government's purpose is to play nanny.

In a nutshell, yes, Hillary believes the public is this stupid. However, I am willing to go out on a limb here and even say that Hillary Clinton not only believes the public is this stupid, but that she believes that America wants another chapter in the Clinton/Bush dynasty. No thanks, both are disgusting.
