Hillary Wants to Preach

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Now, as Clinton works to rehabilitate her public image and figure out the next steps after her brutal November loss, religion is taking a central role. After long months of struggling to persuade Americans that she is trustworthy, authentic, and fundamentally moral, Clinton is lifting up an intimate, closely guarded part of herself. There are no more voters left to lose. In sharing her faith, perhaps Clinton sees something left to win, whether political or personal.

An interesting article.

1. The Atlantic jumped the right wing shark 25 years ago

and Clinton has always been the religious type, even joining The Family when they got to DC.

This snarky little twerp needs to do some research before she pops off about "gittin' religion to polish her image."

She's always had it.

2. JUst Can't Stop Chopping Her To Pieces

For the sake of a headline and some attention, can they?

3. That article was favorable to Hillary.

I didn't find anything critical of her in it.

6. While I've Seen Worse, There Was A Tone

“Shillady insists his book is not intended to be political

They seem carefully curated to vindicate not just Clinton’s faithfulness, but her political record as well.

Once a politician has spent as many years in the public eye as Clinton has, always trailed by a faint cloud of real or imagined scandal, it becomes impossible to distinguish the authentic from the tightly controlled public image. It’s ironic that Clinton has chosen this period in her life—on the heels of failure, fading out of public life—to celebrate a part of herself that she cherishes, just as millions of other Americans cherish their faith. Perhaps, after being unwilling to wield her faith as a voter-recruitment tool, she’s willing to sacrifice her privacy in a final bid for public redemption.”

I don't think she needs redemption

7. so you were looking for a total puff piece

8. Disengenuous To Say So

I don't believe she needs either vindication or redemption. And as this is a piece on HRC's religious faith and perhaps her quest to fulfil a desire involved with it, why make it into something other.

9. of course she needs redemption......

in both 2008 and 2016, the race was hers to lose, so those political events have overshadowed her many accomplishments.

She needs to re-establish herself with the public as the complete person that she is.
You don't want losing the electoral vote to Trump to be the final line in the description of your life.

10. We Disagree On That

so I'll let that be the end of it.

5. Once they stopped putting the cryptic crossword on the back page

there was really no reason to spend any money on it.

This article is one reason why.

4. She did not "join" The Family.

She prayed with them a few times.
