I know as a loyal Republican I should want Hillary Clinton to stay in this race as long as possible, but I honestly don’t know how anyone could still be supporting her.
In case you haven’t heard, earlier today while speaking to the editorial board of Argus Leader Hillary Clinton in part justified staying in the race because “[w]e all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.” Read all about it here.
Everyone makes mistakes, saying something that we later realized came out the wrong way. But Hillary Clinton must have walked into that editorial board meeting prepped with all kinds of talking points. Are we supposed to believe her campaign didn’t expect to be asked, with Obama’s victory all but certain, why she was still in the race? So her statement was almost certainly a planned response. How stupid are her advisors?
For better or worse, Hillary Clinton’s message has been that she is more electable than Barack Obama. More subtly her message is that a lot of working class white democrats will not vote for a black man. To argue that she should stay in the race just in case Obama is assassinated is at best colossally stupid and at worse a suggestion.
I really don’t envy my former colleagues at the Huffington Post. Last week, when it was suggested Obama should choose Hillary as his running mate, I had to delete hundreds of comments along the lines of “if he does that, he better hire a food taster.” Maybe they were right.
Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of herself. Watch the video below.
