What???" Hillary Clinton says she'd nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if ..."

[DUU]

Well that’s a surprise. Can anyone explain why she would grant that credibility?

1. If he didn't capitulate to Putin.

Which is impossible.

And she knows it.

He can’t possibly make that kind of deal.

[dsc]

2. Well if I climb Mt. Everest I will get some sort of mountain climbing medal

but I think there is about the same amount of chance of each thing happening which is right about zero.

[Blues Heron]

3. Just.... No. Hillary, please think about what you say and how it might affect morale. Don't normalize the pig, k?

Thank you!

[emulatorloo]

6. She's trolling Trump.

Read the full headline:

Hillary Clinton says she’d nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he helps broker a deal to end Ukraine war
Clinton, a longtime rival of Trump’s, said she would personally nominate the president for the elusive price if he brokered a peace deal that did not ‘capitulate’ to Putin

She knows Trump will ALWAYS capitulate to Putin

[Blues Heron]

11. Sarcasm doesn't always translate on the net, not a very wise thing to say. Bit of an own goal there.

[emulatorloo]

12. She's pretty clear. She's wiser than both you and me put together!

Clinton, the former secretary of state who once ran a campaign against Trump, issued her bold declaration on the Raging Moderates podcast to incentivize the president not to give in to Putin’s demands.

“I understand, from everything I read, that he would very much like to receive the Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told co-host Jessica Tarlov. “If he could end it, without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin…. I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Clinton said the president has an opportunity to be the “architect” of a peace deal that would not give Putin any of Ukraine’s territory or allow Russian troops to remain in areas it has already seized.

“If we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States,” Clinton added.

[Blues Heron]

13. Yeah, no

[emulatorloo]

14. I added the full quote. It is from a podcast appearance. You should take a look at it

There’s nothing ambiguous about what she’s saying

18. Some things should never be said, even in jest.

Disappointing to say the least. I expect more from a sophisticated leader like Hillary.

[emulatorloo]

21. Malarkey, but you do you. Her analysis of Trump is dead on.

[Blues Heron]

23. Back atcha bro

[emulatorloo]

25. ...

[UTUSN]

32. Yip. It's in-the-air that nothing constructive will be done or KRASNOV will do a giveaway.

[ariadne0614]

15. It's hard to assume you read the entire article. n/t

[emulatorloo]

4. You left out "if he brokered a peace deal that did not 'capitulate' to Putin"

Hillary is really smart. She trolling Trump, as she knows Trump will always capitulate to Putin.

Hillary Clinton says she’d nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he helps broker a deal to end Ukraine war
Clinton, a longtime rival of Trump’s, said she would personally nominate the president for the elusive price if he brokered a peace deal that did not ‘capitulate’ to Putin

[unblock]

5. Hell, I'll nominate him for the Nobel for medicine if he guarantees healthcare for all trans people

Ain't gonna happen.


Expert trolling by Hillary, imho

[democratsruletheday]

22. yep...she knows he's worthless and weak

and will bow down. Perfect post by her because it also directly challenges him NOT to bow down. She's brilliant and he's hot garbage.

[Ocelot II]

7. She knows it will never happen.

Zelenskyy would have to be part of the deal and Putin won’t agree to that.

[yardwork]

8. I'll nominate Trump if he walks to the moon.

[DUU]

43. With or without a helmet?

[Ms. Toad]

9. If you had even read the complete headline, you already have the explanation. n/t

[LexVegas]

10. People still have to shit on Hillary...nt

[no_hypocrisy]

16. My guess was that she would wait for the Epstein files to be released and then

she'd endorse the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

[usonian]

17. Nobel prize in chemistry.

Dear Secretary Clinton, read my post, first. Even if that article is an obvious taunt.

An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

On to the parody (also a repost)

19. Read the whole article before dragging Hillary.

Trump would have to not capitulate to Putin, which of course he will.

[lame54]

20. Dismantling of USAID makes him ineligible

[ariadne0614]

24. I'm curious to know. . .

. . .if this sentence is accurate:

“ So far, Trump has helped broker deals between Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and intervened in the conflict between Israel and Iran.”

[Hekate]

35. Who the ever-loving hell said that? It's not true & does not sound like our former Sec of State.

[EX500rider]

37. It's further down in the article nt

[MorbidButterflyTat]

40. David Dennison?

John Barron?

This is too stupid!

[Hekate]

41. The OP has done a hit&run, and all kinds of DUers are kicking the shit out of Hillary over a clickbait lie

[MorbidButterflyTat]

42. Seems to be happening almost daily

[Mike Nelson]

26. I agree...

... I would like to see him as a Nobel prize winner if... and it's a big IF.

[LudwigPastorius]

27. It's like she's saying, "If so and so happens, I'll eat my hat!"

No hats will be eaten in this case.

[Hekate]

34. Did you read the article at the link? Because the title is clickbait & entirely unlike Sec. of State Clinton...

…who does not “walk into” anything.

[harumph]

29. I'll nominate Trump if he does a shark dive naked and without a cage.

It could spawn a whole streaming series.
Uncaged and Naked.

[Justice]

30. Was the OP intended to be misleading? Cuz it is.

Clinton wisely said ONLY if Ukraine does not have to give territory to Russia. And by territory, don’t forget that means people and property.

Anyone who truly and honestly wanted to post the facts would not have omitted this vital condition. Expect better on DU.

[LexVegas]

31. Yes, it was deliberate. nt

[Hekate]

33. If what? You're allowed to post 4 paragraphs from your source. Did Hillary say he'd need a brain transplant? What?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

39. Guess!

It's a surprise!


Naw, just kidding. It's clickbait.

[EdmondDantes_]

36. If he managed to do that, it would be a good thing

I am skeptical of his ability or desire to do so, but if he manages to do something good, then I'm with Clinton. There's no point in being reflexively every he could possibly do is bad. If he wakes up tomorrow and decides that trans people deserve protection and healthcare, I'm not going to suddenly be against trans people getting protection and healthcare.

Defining ourselves as anti-Trump isn't enough and is setting our morals aside just to center Trump. If all we are is frothing at the mouth Trump hate, what do we do in 3 years when he's no longer president or when he kicks the bucket?

And there's the issue of our credibility of the boy who cried wolf. If we're constantly just screaming everything Trump does is the end of the world, what happens when things manage to muddle along? How many months did we hear about how surely the Social Security checks won't get deposited this month? Turns out, pretty much nobody missed their Social Security check. When you use that tactic, it has to be right.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

38. Won't click

on clickbait.

45. She KNEW it would NEVER happen

and she would NEVER have to nominate him.

[Patton French]

46. Clickbait
