31. The Clintons were the epicenter of right wing hate radio from the beginning

Thu Nov 2, 2017, 05:02 PM

Nov 2017

It started with Limbullocks and lasted for 25 years.
Hill was not perfect in the way she handled criticism, but she would have been a very good President (better on policy than Bill)and I voted for her without hesitation. frankly, outside of President Obama, I don’t think any politician would have been able to stand up to the non stop hatred she received.
I don’t think people understand the nonstop stream of crap she endured for decades. The Clintons were the first through this unprecedented media and billionaire driven hate fest, there was no play book for it. She ran at a time the quarter century of hate against her was at high tide and that hate was financed by an enemy country. And she STILL won the popular vote.

I want to move on from this and kick the crap out of the GOP in every election in the country. The bill for GOP investment in Clinton hate is coming due in 2018. They literally have no ideas except 40 year old tax policy bullshit and an unending supply of cruelty. Without a Clinton to hate, there is no message or idea in the GOP and that is why they cling SO desperately to the hate, even when she has been out of power and not running for election.
