Clinton To Launch New Super PAC To Help 2018 Candidates, Organizations Opposed To Trump
5/5/2017 8:00:00 PM - Matt Vespa
Hillary Clinton is out of the bunker and now part of the resistance. This was inevitable. Clinton lost the 2016 election, she just cannot move on from it, and now will continue to try and influence Democratic politics even though many just want her to go away. Regardless, now that she’s out of the woods, Clinton will be eliciting the help of her former chief development officer at the Clinton Foundation to find donors for her new super PAC that will start out helping organizations fighting the Trump agenda. Eventually it will put to work to assist candidates for the 2018 midterms. The PAC will be called Onward Together (via Politico):
The former secretary of state is building a new political group to fund organizations working on the resistance to President Donald Trump’s agenda, spending recent weeks in Washington, New York City, and Chappaqua, N.Y., meeting with donors and potential groups to invest in, and recruiting individuals for the group’s board of directors, multiple people close to the two-time White House hopeful and people familiar with the group’s planning told POLITICO.
She is looking to launch the group, expected to be called Onward Together — a nod to her campaign slogan, Stronger Together — as soon as next week, they say. Clinton’s spokesman declined to comment for this story.
Clinton has been working with Dennis Cheng, her campaign’s finance director who was previously the Clinton Foundation’s chief development officer, to bring donors into the fold.
Clinton made it know that she was part of the resistance during the Women for Women International luncheon in New York City on Tuesday. The former first lady and two-time presidential loser spoke with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour during the event, where she said (once again) that FBI Director James Comey and the Russians cost her the election. Clinton also plans to write a memoir, which will include the 2016 election. She said she plans to detail the various flaws that sunk her campaign. For Clintonites, they’re going to eat this up. For others frustrated over her campaign and distraught over Trump’s victory, they really, really want her to shut up and go home.

She is just trying to stay relevant and re-fill the coffers of the Clinton Foundation.
For the Clintons it's about the money and feeding their ego. So long as people are willing to pay, a whore will always continue to provide the service. In this case the service is to give much of the democratic party a reason to live in their deluded state of mind.

Hillary's perfectly crafted untruths

A sidewalk tent offers deals on cell phones outside the now-empty office space that served as a 2016 campaign office for Hillary Clinton in a Roseville, Mich., strip mall on May 3. (Frank Craig for Washington Examiner)
ROSEVILLE, Mich. — After 17 years at the same company, Dawn Wilson has just lost her job.
The petite blond stands in the parking lot of Roseville Towne Center, a strip mall with a Walmart, a Dollar Tree, a jewelry pawn shop and what was Hillary Clinton's campaign office, where a bright yellow sidewalk tent now hawks "Free Cell Phones."
A few people wait to sign up for the phones.
"I've worked there for 17 years. I was on vacation when I got a text from my boss on Good Friday to call him. He told me don't come back to work on Monday, you no longer have a job," Wilson explained.
Of her ability to get another job as a purchaser and customer-service professional, she sounds pragmatic: "I'm confident I'll find something. I am an incredibly hard worker, I have had two job interviews this week, it will happen."
Of her town's fortunes, she sounds blunt: "It was once middle class, now I would call it lower middle class."
Of Clinton having a campaign office here — only to skip visiting the struggling working-class manufacturing town and send in Hollywood surrogates Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen, who scolded voters about climate change — she is sardonic:
Your message and your optics are everything when you are trying to persuade people to buy something from you or vote for you. Does this look like somewhere that needs to be schooled on climate change? she asks. "That is why she did not win Michigan. No matter who she chooses to blame, it is time for her to really look inward."
Roseville is in Macomb County, the heart of Reagan Democrat country, socially conservative white Democrats who are anxious about their economic future. It's like so many places where Trump exceeded expectations — an economically anxious, culturally conservative, tight-knit community that doesn't understand how elite-driven change will benefit them.
For the Clinton campaign to send Hollywood liberals here in the closing days of the race to preach about climate change was tone deaf on a Guinness record-level.
The decisions we make on how to communicate to people are fragile things; they can change lives, cause chaos and regret, or take us to a better place by tapping into something deep.
Last week two politicians made news for the ways they communicated to Americans: Clinton's words were crafted, deliberate and dishonest; President Trump's words were a string of thoughts bouncing everywhere — with no craft, no massaging and they contained great gaps of context.
The press reacted wistfully to the former; to the latter, it went into full meltdown. Again.
Michael Kinsley once observed that "a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth."
By this definition — and this is how the press appears to view it — Trump speaks in gaffes.
Now, that doesn't mean Trump is always accurate in what he says, but he says (or tweets) what he truly thinks at that moment.
We in the press are just not accustomed to this type of honesty. Most politicians are loath to veer from carefully vetted talking points; they don't commit "gaffes" because they never tell you what they really think. Instead, they talk around the point or tell you what they think you want to hear. Trump never does this.
Trump's willingness to say what he thought during the 2016 campaign endeared him to his supporters. Unlike the press, Trump supporters understood that Trump shot from the hip and would make mistakes. To many of them, his walking-back of some of what he said then makes sense; is a sign of learning, not of duplicity

I really have to have a go at Hillary : LOSER!!!! yes Hillary: you are a LOSER and a VERY BAD one at that.
Seemed you cheated Sandy something to be the Democrat candidates and you get beatten on the finishing line.
When a winner has a SETBACK ( winners never lose, only have setbacks), they take stock, learn from the experience and make so much jumps that setbacks are just memories.
The way she is acting is a proof she is a real LOSER.
She should be out there coaching and encouraging as many "qualified" female American to get ahead in US politics. After all, Manchester United Coaches , Arsenal Coaches are well known because they know how to build winners. Hillary could do the same: but truth is, she is deep down a LOSER who has been carried out by the US system.

Hillary’s election loss excuse means one thing — She’s running in 2020
Even in politics, the rich get richer. Take President Trump.
Fresh off a big victory with the House passage of an ObamaCare repeal, Trump is also getting lucky again in his enemies. Hillary Clinton is baaack and ready to rumble.
Politico reports she is launching a new group to raise money for the resistance to Trump’s presidency. The group will be called Onward Together, and Clinton is said to be meeting with donors to form a board of directors.
Her cadre of unemployed hangers-on must be thrilled to have a new slush fund, but most Dems are probably thinking, “Haven’t we suffered enough?”
With the party demoralized and divided, and holding the fewest number of elected seats in a century, Clinton’s return will likely prolong the misery. While she’s a media magnet, she’s also a political dead end, having lost two presidential runs and ceded the future to the Bernie Sanders’ socialist wing.
It’s hard to imagine her as the party’s savior, yet, instead of going away quietly, she’ll be competing with its candidates for money and attention. Anything she gets will come at the expense of new leaders and ideas.
On the other hand, what’s bad for Dems is great for Trump. Clinton’s decision to jump back into partisan politics is a gift to the president.
With polls showing little buyers’ remorse over the election, any contrast between the sitting president and his defeated opponent favors him. Especially because Clinton is stuck in the same tiresome blame game that helped cost her the election.
After weeks of inching her way back, she gave an interview last week at a Women for Women event. Her explanation for why she lost shows that the new Hillary is the same as the old Hillary.
Full of finger-pointing and excuses, she was, as usual, devoid of any concession about her own shortcomings.
She has shifted the entire e-mail scandal, which she created by deciding to use a private server and lying about it to the public, to the shoulders of Russian hackers and FBI Director Jim Comey. To hear her tell it, she was an innocent victim of their skullduggery.
“If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president,” she said, insisting that Comey’s Oct. 28 letter reopening the probe into her handling of classified material “raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off.”
While Clinton said she accepted “absolute personal responsibility” for the defeat, it certainly didn’t sound as if she meant it.
She refused to second-guess her strategy or message, didn’t talk about her flaws as a candidate, didn’t explain why she never got what was bugging working-class voters or why she assumed black voters would turn out for her the same way they turned out for Barack Obama.
Instead, she added “misogyny” and the media to her list of scapegoats. And of course she trotted out the unproven Trump-Putin connection.
None of her spiel is new or different, and it leads me to conclude she has an unhealthy fixation on an election do-over. As improbable as it seems, I believe she wants to co-opt the Trump resistance and make it her base for a potential 2020 run.
Look at it this way: What are the chances Clinton is going back to battle to help elect Cory Booker or Andrew Cuomo in 2020? Zero and none.
Raising and controlling money is Step One to her comeback, a step the Clintons have mastered. A Democratic operative once described them this way: “Fish gotta swim, and the Clintons gotta raise money.”
That was after they had rented out the Lincoln Bedroom, allegedly sold presidential pardons and turned the family foundation into a money-printing press.
The Onward Together venture would fit the pattern, with self-promotion and private-jet perks guaranteed. By vacuuming up bags of cash and deciding who is worthy of it, she would be in a strong position to control the party.
It’s a bold move, but it could retard Dems’ rebuilding efforts. For one thing, there is no obvious space for her, with Sanders still active and with Obama heir Tom Perez running the national committee.
Even a Clinton funding success could spell trouble. She would be a juicy target for Republicans in the 2018 midterms, forcing Dem candidates to run from her in swing districts where she remains a pariah.
There also will be inevitable temptations with her new group. Like her family foundation, Onward Together probably will be free of donor and spending limits.
That could make it ripe for a repeat of the foundation’s sordid side. Amid its stench from selling access and favors, insider e-mails showed the foundation served as a front for “Bill Clinton Inc.,” with the former president using it to set up lucrative speaking and consultant gigs that brought him tens of millions of dollars.
Still, the foundation had some charity works, which Hillary cited during the campaign to turn away criticism. But now that she’s free to spend her time on them, she’s focusing on a cause closer to her heart: a third race for the White House.
