Lefsetz: Could Hillary & The Dems Be More Out of Touch?

hillary-clinton-out-of-touch-candy-hearts-facebook-sizeDo you feel left out?

I most certainly do.

I’m a rank and file Democrat who feels that so far this Philadelphia party has been a circle jerk wherein the usual suspects want to feel good about themselves. Reminds me of the cool people in high school, who wanted nothing to do with me.

Does anybody there understand the real problems America faces?

And if I hear one more commentator, get one more e-mail about Michelle Obama‘s speech, I’m gonna explode.

Do these people live in such a small bubble that they don’t realize those who will decide this election don’t care a whit what the First Lady has to say?

As for taking the high road, that didn’t work for Donald Trump.

Trump rode the low road all the way to the nomination and it appears he’s gonna take it to the Presidency too.

Just wait until he lights into Hillary in the debates.

If you think he’s gonna leave out Bill’s peccadilloes and the speech money and the emails…you live in a land of decorum where the women still wear garter belts and the men wear bow ties.

Elizabeth Warren had me fired up.

As for the rest?

Warren knows it’s a knife fight. She’s sharpened her shiv; she’s going for the jugular. As a result, her speech was pooh-poohed as one note.

The soft and spurious focused on Michelle, while the left wing media couldn’t stop falling on its own sword. The Times coverage of the convention reminds me of the Jayson Blair affair, wherein the Grey Lady was so busy making apologies that it doomed itself to irrelevance. Today’s newspaper is so filled with analyses of problems, who won’t vote for Hillary, what wealthy donors got, Bernie’s travails with his supposed supporters, that you’d think the Democratic party was a coalition of disorganized upstarts who had no chance of success.

Maybe they don’t.

UnknownThey’ve got too many celebrities to appear.

But all those Trump voters are not, celebrities that is. I’m sick and tired of the rich and famous telling me how it is. How the hell would they know?

As for Hillary herself, every word is vetted to the point there’s no authenticity left, and authenticity is everything.

I’m looking for some sharp elbows, some visceral attacks.

Oh, that was the Republican convention, the one all these people made fun of. Holier-than-thou crap if I’ve ever heard it.

Who checks out your groceries? Who cleans your house? All these people without a voice.

And I didn’t get the impression they were inside the arena last night. The gulf between us and them was vast.

I don’t want to hear how great America is. I want to hear how you’re gonna solve my problems. Otherwise it’s like going to a celebration where there’s nothing to celebrate. One where only the positive is postulated and everything negative is swept under the rug, like those financially-challenged.

On one hand it’s like 1968 all over again, with Hubert Humphrey unable to solidify the Democratic party.

On the other hand, it’s positively the 21st Century, where modern polling methods now declare Trump to be ahead. Sure, it might be the convention bounce. Sure, Hillary might get one too, but never forget; Obama aced out Clinton in 2008 and Bernie put a big dent in her campaign here.

So, she’s the lesser of two evils, is that really a convincing argument?

Many would rather abstain than marry someone with no love. They’d rather dream of great sex instead of having mediocre coitus with someone they’re not really into.

The 21st Century is littered with the stories of those who played it safe and were then discarded onto the scrapheap. Hillary’s playing it safe via the old rules. Not only cozying up to fat cats, but focusing on the ground game.

Trump is ignoring data and all the supposed magic for a message. And the message is…something’s gotta change; we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore.

And in Philadelphia all we’re hearing is things are good and you should just accept that.

A winning message?

I don’t think so.

    Interesting take…as far as it goes.

    However the un-chewable gristle in this hunk of meat is the fact that regardless of what Trump says, he would be –if elected– unable to enact any of it: The Wall? …a pipe dream; And have Mexico pay for it?…an opium pipe dream; Get rid of Common Core? And the Dept. of Ed? CC might be possible…by the end of his only term. But the Dept. of Ed is here to stay. Same with the EPA, which he would also destroy; Replace ObamaCare with something “terrific”? You can’t see how hard I’m laughing, but it’s YUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, I guarantee you; Rebuild the country’s aging infrastructure? Wait wait wait!!! I’m laughing HARDER AND LOUDER!!! Obama tried that and the ReThugs told him to piss off; Simultaneously defund Planned Parenthood AND “take care of women”? Only Trump, man, only Trump…

    Obviously I could go on and on, but what’s the point?

    What no one seems to realize is that Trump doesn’t even want to be president, so of course he has no ideas about what he might reasonably accomplish should take the White House.

    Trump just wants to win. That’s all. The rest are details left to minions that would undoubtedly make Reagan’s staff look like well-grounded, law-abiding citizens.

    What most definitely won’t happen is that the yahoos who vote for him this November will have their lot improved. In fact, the gulf between their insipidly unrealistic expectations and what Trump could possibly provide will be YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!

    Dead on the money for Lefty this time.

    A+

  3. Guy Who Says What Others Think says:

    If Trump gets in, both the Dems and the Repubs have NO ONE to blame but themselves.

  4. CFPCowboy says:

    What does anyone expect? Crime is down since 1995? Pardon me? How has it been in the last seven years, or just last year in the biggest 50 cities? Then, you invite Michael Brown’s mother, the mother of a strong arm robber who committed suicide by cop, to speak? Perhaps the police would be within their rights to just walk off the job, but they won’t. Bill left out a lot of Hillary history, which I won’t resurect for the “middle aged” souls reading this. The only defense is that Republicans tried get the candidate who was owed the position in there too. And “change maker” sounds a little like the machine at the car wash that takes my dollar bills and spits out quarters, really? sell, good news for Democrats, my vote still has to be earned, and so far, Trump hasn’t done it. Hillary has only removed herself from consideration. Great article. Nail driven with one blow.

    • Harley says:

      vote however you want cowboy…Kansas goes red for trump and probably
      Missouri goes red.
      Dems have no interest in either state.
      You can vote but it’s wasted. Dems won’t spend a nickel in missour or
      Kansas so why even waste your time voting.
      12 counties in nation decide the election……Hillary up by 5 in Pennsylvania where 3 of the counties lie. Cuyahoga county in ohio is key to ohio vote.
      3 counties in florida (broward/orange) decide the winner in florida and
      Obama won all 3 by no less than 250,000 votes in each county and hllary
      will win by more since more blacks and browns are of voting age and the
      migration to southern florida of minority voters.
      again….its the Hispanic vote.
      1 million muslims will also be voting in election in November and guess
      who they’re voting for?
      all a question of numbers and old worthless guys in their recliners just
      too lazy to understand this. Way to go bill….the best speech of either convention…(maybe better than michelles)!

  5. Harley says:

    Hillary will have a bump. still leads in electoral.
    But pundits and announcers sit in their studios and know nothing about the
    people on the streets.
    Bills speech introduced Hillary. These are all focusd group before they
    say a word.
    In the end…..sanity will prevail….3 debates (hopefully Hillary and trump one on
    one ) will give Hillary the lead.
    Stilll up the Hispanic turnout.
    Trumo up by only 1 in Arizona and 4 in Georgia….a lead assumetpion that his
    act is getting old.
    Muslims registering one million muslims in Michigan/rust belt area.
    still much time to go.
    Seesaw battle. I’m still sticking with the smartest pols in modern times…the
    Clintons.

    • chuck says:

      “Muslims registering one million muslims in Michigan/rust belt area.”

      Harley is correct. That is, the ” recolonization of America”. That translated, is slow motion Voter Fraud. An insidious, nefarious and pernicious pathology, introduced into the American body.

      Bring it on Harley. Bring on Cologne. Bring on the terrorist horrors that now infuse the European continent. Let us all come closer to our conquerors and see the face of the new America. Open borders, globalist, elitist, Amazon, Face-Book-Democrat-Hollywood heroes-on-film who guide us through the nooks and crannies of a realpolitik that we are too numb, or, dumb to see.

      Your good offices are appreciated.

      Your finger on the pulse of the Zeitgeist, I am sure, you got a “thrill up your leg” when your buddies cut the head off of a priest, at mass, in sanctuary.

      You are a Garden Variety Progressive. Louder, but still, salt of the earth, average.

      • Harley says:

        ditch digger: they are American citizens so they have the
        right to vote.
        And they’re mostly concentrated in Michigan and rust belt
        and that another million votes that will probably go to Hillary.
        Where’s your 10K old ditch digger.
        You work all these years and don’t have 10K to put up on a
        bet?
        Another big talker…no walker…..another piece of shit
        who talks a good shctick but can’t put his money where
        his mouth is.
        Interested to see what happens next week.
        Aren’t you for carrying out the constitution?\
        Or are you a real time Nazi skin head?

      • Harley says:

        chuck the ditch digger…you are one funny but sick man.
        too much dirt gets in your head.
        wear a hat and mask.
        Harley talked yesterday about trumps call for putinto get
        Hillary’s emails.
        this was not a joke to American security experts….this is the
        bullet to theheart of trump.
        I guarantee now all trumps emails and taxes are being
        looked at……..where there’s trump….theres a scam going on.
        10K? lets do it!

    Shut up, Harley. No one gives a flying F what you think!
    Oh, I’m sorry.
    I’ll wait till he comments.

  7. Harley says:

    HARLEY LIES FOR FREE…
    BUT HARLEY STILL THE KING!
    RIGHT NOW…BASED ON RCP…..CLINTON HAS 322 ELECTORAL VOTES….
    WINS OHIO /LOSES FLORIDA.
    Tonight the new big dogcomeson……its red meat time…..Biden/Kaine/then the
    new big dog in America……..Obama.
    This Russian thing may be the downfall of trump. It’s a national security issue
    that Russians are able to hack mails in u.s……and if they’re hacking dnc….the
    military/intelligence/national pols are very very concerned about this ability
    to get into cyber in u.s.
    Lefty…this story was hogwash. Worst you’ve ever put out. They are
    contrasting the dark repub convention with one of hope.
    You know nothing about politics. Stick with you old vinyl beatlesand rolling
    stone music stories. You are out of loop.
    Harleys final predictions coming witin 2 weeks. Lots will happen ….but americans
    are seeing the light.
    Trump is like the comedians at glaze’s yuk yuk shack. I’ll explain later.

    • Harley Lies for FREE When the Truth Pays $1,000,000 says:

      “Harley’s final predictions coming in two weeks” and the collective world waits with baited breath. Which smells like tuna fish; the scent of the pus*y you are.

  8. Harley says:

    and don’t forget the biggest opponent of trump….el CHAPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    COMPRENDE?

  9. Jack Springer says:

    I’m not surprised that Hillary Clinton is such a good change maker. I can see her counting her money every night from her excellent ability as a futures trader, lawyer in getting a rapist off the hook (not her husband this time), speeches to Wall Street groups, etc.
