Hail Mary fourth down play

[sweetwater5s9]

As the polls tighten the left is getting frantic.  Mrs. Clinton is reaching into the Democrat playbook, pulling out their go-to and typically successful Hail Mary fourth down play: the race card.  And not just a single card.  She is throwing the entire deck at Trump.

Beyond the rhetoric, let's see who the real racist candidate is.  Sorry, MSNBC – it is not Donald Trump, but rather your anointed candidate.

Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of "pushing discredited conspiracy theories with racist undertones." I  presume she is referring to the many still unanswered questions about Barack Obama's childhood and life story.  Who was the original birther?  Not Donald Trump.  Not John McCain, who bristled if any of his supporters even mentioned Obama's middle name. The original birther was the 2007 Hillary Clinton campaign.  Her chief strategist, Mark Penn, wrote a memo: "I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values."  Penn proposed targeting Obama's "lack of American roots."  Sounds like birtherism to me.  And from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Trump is the racist?

Hillary Clinton, on 60 Minutes in 2008, was asked by Steve Kroft if she believed that Obama is a Muslim.  She answered, "Of course not" but ended her denials with the caveat: "as far as I know."  A non-denial denial.  A dog whistle to the birthers saying that even though she can't prove it, the allegation may still be true.

Trump is the racist?

Around that same time, Bill Clinton was trying to secure an endorsement for his wife's campaign from Ted Kennedy.  Bill remarked about Obama, "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."  When Kennedy endorsed Obama, Bill then said, "The only reason you are endorsing him is because he's black.  Let's just be clear."

Trump is the racist?

Mrs. Clinton is not bigoted not just against blacks, but against Jews as well.  A Clinton biographer reported that when Bill Clinton unexpectedly lost his Arkansas congressional election in 1974, Hillary shrieked, as she is well known to do, at his campaign manager, "You f------ Jew b------."

Trump is the bigot?

Listening to Mrs. Clinton, one would think the KKK is all in for The Donald.  Not so fast.  KKK Grand Dragon Will Quigg is on the "I'm With Her" bandwagon.  "We want Hillary Clinton to win," he told reporters.  The Clinton campaign has also received more than $20,000 in donations from KKK members.

Trump is the racist?

Aside from attempting to block the Civil Rights Act, the Democrats have a rich racist history, conveniently overlooked by the media and the Democrats themselves.  The KKK originated with the Democrats.  Founded in 1866, it was "a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks."  Not a Republican creation; instead, "the organization saw its primary goal – the reestablishment of white supremacy – fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s."  Ignored by Mrs. Clinton and her media fanboys who continue trying to tie the KKK to the GOP.

Republicans are the racists?

Donald Trump is right in calling Hillary Clinton "a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future."  Her words, her associations, and the actions of the political party she represents all confirm the inconvenient truth that she is the racist.  Trump continued, "She's going to do nothing for African-Americans.  She's going to do nothing for the Hispanics. She's only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consultants, her donors."

Isn't it interesting that Donald Trump has been on the national stage for decades, frequently interviewed, host of a popular television reality show, and has never been called a racist or bigot until he decided to run for president as a Republican?  Now that the presidential race is a dead heat, Hillary Clinton is running scared, dragging out the hackneyed race card against Trump.

This time, however, the Republic candidate is fighting back, correctly calling out Mrs. Clinton as the real racist.  What a refreshing change from past campaigns where Republicans shrink like wilted daisies in the face of being called names such as racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe, and so on.  Trump, however, is the only Republican who has a spine.  Where are the other leading Republicans defending Trump on race?  Silent, as the Washington Post points out.

Hence Trump's popularity among "we the people," tired of bowing to political correctness and the narrative of the elites, punching back against hypocritical Democrat accusations of racism.  And pointing out that Hillary Clinton is the real racist.

If anyone is throwing a fourth down hail Mary play, it's The Donald. The trouble is every one he attempts ends in a fumble.

[dont-blameme]

Anyone that can still support Hillary, after all the scandal's she's involved in after all the facts of her wrong doings have been made public, should hang their head in shame, but then we remember a Hillary supporter has no shame!~

The long-awaited report by the State Department inspector general was the first official audit of the controversial arrangement to be made public.

The report concluded that Clinton would not have been allowed to use the server in her home had she asked the department officials in charge of information security. The report said that staff who later raised concerns were told to keep quiet. Several suspected hacking attempts in 2011 were never reported to department information security officials, in breach of department rules, it said.

• The IG report cited department policies dating to 2005 that require “normal day-to-day operations” to be conducted on government servers, contrary to Clinton’s claim that her server was allowed. It also said she “had an obligation” to discuss her email system with cybersecurity officials, but there’s “no evidence” that she sought or received their approval.
• The IG report said Clinton should have turned over her emails before she left office — not 21 months after she left. “She did not comply with the Department’s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act,” the report said.
• Clinton has said her emails “were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department” because she emailed department officials at their government accounts. The IG report said that is “not an appropriate method of preserving any such emails that would constitute a Federal record.”
