Conway: Democrats wish Clinton would fade out of the limelight

Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway suggested Thursday that Democrats in Washington are quietly steaming about the upcoming release of Hillary Clinton’s book, telling Fox News they want her to “either make herself useful or fade out of the limelight.”

Initial excerpts from Clinton’s book, which details her failed 2016 presidential campaign and is titled “What Happened,” were released Wednesday on MSNBC. In them, Clinton recalls the second presidential debate, in which she accused Trump of standing too close to her. She said her “skin crawled” from Trump's behavior and that she had considered telling Trump to “back up, you creep.”

Without indicating the source of her intelligence on their thinking, Conway said Clinton’s forthcoming book has been a point of frustration for Democrats looking to move beyond last year’s election.

I really can't stand this skank. She's a high school Mean Girl who looks like she does meth in her spare time.

As Control-Z says, Conway is again engaging in psychological projection.

...will always be attached to the loser Trump. Hillary won and Trump was elected. His was not the popular message. I know Kellyanne has a lot of money, but she can't survive with so much wickedness... I hope she gets well, spiritually, and enjoys her old age!

12. Hillary's "What Happened" is an important book.

If we don't fully discuss what happened, so that we can make sure it doesn't happen again, we risk losing again. Hillary is a valuable voice in that discussion. I'm sure that is one of the reasons Kellyane wishes Hillary was silent.
