"Clinton’s stumbles fray Democratic nerves"
July 10, 2015

Tactical blunders. A strained relationship with the media. An insurgent rival drawing enormous crowds.

For Hillary Clinton, the past few weeks of her 2016 presidential campaign have brought back uncomfortable memories of her failed bid in 2008.

The summer of 2015 is not being kind to Hillary. Hillary's numbers are dropping.

Poll: Clinton trails top Republicans in battleground states

By Eric Bradner, CNN
Updated 8:40 AM ET, Wed July 22, 2015

In the article, a very revealing 2 paragraphs-

In Colorado, only 34% of voters said they see Clinton as honest and trustworthy while 62% said they don't. In Iowa, the numbers were 33% to 59% -- a drop from 45% to 47% in April. And in Virginia, Clinton did best, at 39% saying they trust her to 55% saying they don't.

"She has lost ground in the horse race and on key questions about her honesty and leadership," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, in a release accompanying Wednesday morning's results. "On being a strong leader, a key metric in presidential campaigns, she has dropped four to 10 points depending on the state and she is barely above 50% in each of the three states."

That's the best news I've heard for a while. She is like the kingmen in the Book of Mormon.

Linda Tripp, who was an assistant to Bill Clinton, and exposed the Monica Lewinsky affair, speaks out on Hillary.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Hillary must NEVER become President', says the woman who exposed Bill's affair with Monica. Former Clinton West Wing assistant Linda Tripp says Democratic contender is a liar who treats the public with contempt

- Linda Tripp, now 65, was a civil servant who had a ringside seat during Clinton's administration with office directly adjacent to Hillary's

- She exposed President Clinton affair with Monica because it was the culmination of years of so much corruption

- Although she was vilified for her role in the scandal, she breaks years of silence to tell Daily - Mail Online she would do it again

- During the bimbo eruptions Hillary 'destroyed women so that their stories never saw the light of day,' Tripp says

- She went from being a lackluster First Lady with unimpressive approval numbers to First Victim

- Hillary will stop at nothing to achieve her end - the Presidency - and see the public as plebians easily seduced into believing her, says Tripp

I don't remember Tripp. What she says is very revealing. I see hillary as one of the worst and scariest candidates to ever run for president.

Hillary is one of the most dishonest people to run for president - ever. You should read the story of a young Hillary being fire from the Watergate House Judiciary Committee for dishonest and unethical behavior - by a lifelong Democrat.

"Hillary fired for lies, unethical behavior from Congressional job: former boss"

Dan Calabrese’s new column on Hillary Clinton’s past may bring the curtain down on her political future. Calabrese interviewed Jerry Zeifman, the man who served as chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate hearings, has tried to tell the story of his former staffer’s behavior during those proceedings for years. Zeifman claims he fired Hillary for unethical behavior and that she conspired to deny Richard Nixon counsel during the hearings:

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
