Many Democrats are disenchanted with her ideologically, but that's not the only reason she's suffering. Hillary is a politician in the John Kerry mold — she does inexplicably self-destructive things without actually having an impetuous, id-driven self-destructive streak.

Who else but a tone-deaf bumbler would have spoken the insanely infelicitous words — “we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” — that destroyed her in West Virginia and made Kentucky so hard for her Tuesday night?

We all know she wanted to sell herself to environmentalists, but surely she could have found a way to do so without celebrating the elimination of working-class jobs during the Populist-Resentment Olympics that constitute the 2016 election cycle. Surely this has to be counted among the dumbest self-inflicted political errors of our time.

But forget that recent boner. How about the fact that she took giant speaking fees from banks and hedge funds and Wall Street in 2013 and 2014 knowing full well she was about to run for president in a party that hates banks and hedge funds and Wall Street?

And did so, moreover, when it was money she didn't need, given that her family net worth was north of $100 million when she did so?

Just imagine if she had denied Sanders that issue by never having taken the dough in the first place; his candidacy might never have taken off had it not been for the way he hammered her over her refusal to release the texts of her Goldman Sachs speeches.

Call it greed if you like, but idiocy is another suitable word for it.

Look, the least damning theory anyone can come up with about the decision to shield her emails from public view by setting up a private server is that it was an act of paranoid stupidity.

Her uncommonly gifted husband was always getting himself into trouble, but at least it was fun trouble. Her trouble is boring, plodding, unimaginative, ill-considered trouble. Bill Clinton is larger than life. Hillary Clinton is smaller than the office she's trying so hard to occupy.

How lame is the media that not one single person will hold her feet to the fire on the transcripts?

Last debate, she said she would release them, but apparently its just another lie.

Court proceedings for the civil suit against her wrt the emails, begins in july. Her little Saudi spy girlfriend Huma will be forced to (lie) testify. Imagine if hillary is forced to answer questions.

CNN last night, said Trumps plan of attack is to bring up how she attacked her husbands whores to discredit them. I think Trump should go after the cozy relations of Abedin-Saudi Arabia-ISIS

I have read that Mr Cosby is in a HEAP of trouble with drugging ladies and then taking advantage. Bill Clinton was a pretty darned good president so I guess I have to agree with you on this one.

By the way you should use your picture (like you do in the poster) instead of your cat. Cats are okay, but I think your more attractive.

Hillary's physical appearance is objectionable to me.

I hope that when IHLlary wins, that Yoko Ono will shriek, howl, yip and bay the Star Spangled Banner at the coronation ceremony while banging on her tambourine.

I heard the parole board is releasing Dwight David Chapman but only on condition that he shoot Yoko, too.

Criticizing Trump for comments on the housing crash while taking money from banks that profited on the crash - she really sucks.
