Defeat likely spells the end of Clinton Dynasty

November 10, 2016

Hillary Clinton’s second defeat in her quest for the White House — capped by a humbling concession speech Wednesday — may be the farewell for a family that has been Democratic royalty for nearly three decades.

The comeback kid, now 69 years old, is unlikely to get off the mat following her knock-down, drag-out battle with Donald Trump, Democratic strategists told The Post.

“Over,” a party insider said of Bill and Hillary Clinton, who between them have held public office for nearly 30 years. “No one wants to see anyone named Clinton ever again.”

With Hillary defeated, Bill plagued by recurrent “bimbo eruptions,” and Chelsea reportedly devastated by the toll that failure in public life has taken on her parents, it’s game over for the Clinton Dynasty, sources said.

“The Clinton world is done,” another Clintonista told The Post, snarking that if Hillary could be stopped by Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries, and then Trump in 2016, she has no business ever running for elective office again.

“She was beaten by a community organizer who was senator for 25 minutes, and a reality TV show host,” that source explained. “They don’t create adjectives to describe this. It’s an incredible moment in history.”

Some other woman will have to take up the mantle of first female president, Clinton told weepy supporters in Wednesday’s emotional speech.

“We have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday someone will, and hopefully sooner than we think,” she said.

And while it’s unclear if Clinton is stepping down willingly from the national political stage — or being pushed off by her own party — the decision to exit stage left has been met with sighs of relief on both sides of the aisle.

Clinton will be 73 if she tries to run again in four years. Her age, coupled with the fact that she has now tried and failed twice to reach the White House, has even her own staffers acknowledging that this was her last campaign.

“She will aim to stay relevant on the international stage, but her political career is at its end,” another Clinton source said.

A few Clinton insiders wondered whether the surname has been so tarnished by loss and scandals that even Chelsea is tainted, should she ever mull a run for office.

Chelsea was crushed by her mother’s surprise loss, one insider said.

“How’s Chelsea going to live?” another insider asked The Post. “Is she going to give speeches, go on boards? No one wants her anymore . . . You think NBC’s going to hire her now? Because she’s good on camera? Give me a break.”

When her concession was broadcast on TV screens on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday afternoon, traders greeted her image with loud booing.

With Wednesday’s stock market rebound, Wall Street signaled with clarity that it has moved on.

“Lock her up!” some shouted from the floor as Clinton’s speech played.

“Ding-dong, the witch is dead,” a trader sang, according to CNN.

Just fade into the background and bother us no more.  If the FBI finds enough to recommend prosecution or tax problems with the Clinton Foundation, that would be the icing on the cake.

The Democrats still are strong in some states, California, Oregon, Washington  and NY, in particular.  Republicans need to keep their campaign promises while chipping away at the Democrat state and local strongholds.  Minnesota is a good target.  Republicans control their state house of representatives.

The democrat party, once they get the right leader, will be back strong as ever was.

Weren't the present dear leader and his proposed successor supposed to be the right ones.  Its under the present one that the Democrats were reduced to a bi-coastal regional party.

Now they're going full out muzzie and the blm racists. The demoslops have been dying, and it's only going to get worse for the anti-American POS, and of course I'm worried about us, the decent people that voted against them. I hope it's not too late.

Keith Ellison also represents a long-term threat to the Democratic Party's success as well. Ellison has ties to the Nation of Islam (which he later denounced), has received contributions from members of the radical front group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), attacked Vice President **** Cheney's actions as "the very definition of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship," and compared the Bush administration's reaction to the September 11 attacks to Hitler's use of the Reichstag fire.

Last month, the Anti-Defamation League — no conservative organization — declared Ellison "disqualified" from becoming DNC chairman based on remarks the congressman made about Israel in a 2010 speech. The group argued that Ellison's remarks about Israel suggested anti-Semitism, an unfortunate trend among Muslims worldwide, and one in keeping with Ellison's old praise for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, whom the congressman himself later denounced as anti-Semitic.
