Clinton Cash

[Tom Rinaldo]

45. Politics is poluted by filthy money. The public gets that. It's like in Casablanca...

They no doubt are shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out that there is gambling going on in the casino. Attacks on Hillary about this from Republican Party candidates who audition to become the personal servants of billionaires while taking orders from the Prime Minister of Israel would expose Republicans as crass shrill hypocrites, except for one thing: they already are exposed as crass shrill hypocrites and this just fits that narrative.

The Republicans are the boy who cried wolf one thousand times over. That is why attacks on Hillary now from them will always tend to backfire. Their true intent is always crystal clear and it never is a dispassionate public examination of proper ethical standards for elected officials to follow. They are chronic habitual shit throwers hoping something, anything, will stick on the wall, and they always come across as assholes doing it.

The Clinton Foundation is a large scale international charity that isn't outsourcing American jobs, and of course it won't always be spotlessly clean, but I hope the Republican Party knocks themselves out trying to make an issue out of this instead of speaking to the American public about issues that really matter to them, the way that I expect either Hillary or any other Democratic nominee will do.

It's not the details of this alleged latest scandal that will register on the average non-Republican voter, it is the cumulative knee jerk piling on negativity of their reflexive attacks on Hillary that will stick. With Hillary Clinton they no longer have the political luxury of defining her negatively before she had a chance to define herself to the American people. Personal attacks on Hillary are already fully baked into the political equation after two decades of non stop Republican assaults. It demonstrates how the Republicans have nothing constructive to offer the voters now far more than it says anything negative about Hillary.
