Or Chipotle after customers got food poisoning. "Reintroducing" a product/candidate is not something PR/ad people do when things are going well.

Not re-introduced.

that you can't polish a turd?

Of trying to find herself. It can be such a difficult task. But you know what? She will never find any part of herself which she can stomach within the political realm where she obviously finds comfort. A half century of finding herself through the definition of both how much money she gets anda the pretend opposite of the worst of her imagined political foes has left the country with its fakest potential president, since...I don't know.

thought I would toss it in here as there are some groups/people that apparently don't feel a need to be reintroduced to HRC.

Evangelical leader says Trump is ‘un-Christian,' endorses Clinton

Fikes [leader of the National Association of Evangelicals and the World Evangelical Alliance] went on to say she is “praying” for “Sister Hillary” to be elected.

“Hillary Clinton is the leader who people of faith are looking for and we are praying that Sister Hillary and not Mr. Trump will be elected in November,” Fikes said.

about reselling the same product. Problem is that they usually are smart enough to WAIT a bit before trying again after a disastrous roll out. Or they just sell it in another country that hasn't heard how awful it is.

This is like Microsoft trying to sell the XBOX One after the disaster that was their announcement. You can't just regain trust with a new paint job and a slimmer design. (Hillary's new design appears to be, "I'm not as smart as I pretended to be!")

At what point did the dehumanization actually take hold?

i actually have some sympathy towards clinton for is her "secondary" existence in the public 10k.

surely it's driven her crazy that she's (arguably) more qualified than her penis-minded hubby when it comes to public office, inasmuch as fucking-shill lawyer types are qualified for public service.

it's too bad the american public isn't into fucking-shill lawyer types. fucking-shill lawyer types, or political dynasties. are the bush daughters next? is chelsea? unlikely.

ed: simple editing is good.

‘‘Since Xmas vacation, I’ve gone through three and a half metamorphoses and am beginning to feel as though there is a smörgåsbord of personalities spread before me,’’ Rodham wrote in April 1967. ‘‘So far, I’ve used alienated academic, involved pseudo-hippie, educational and social reformer and one-half of withdrawn simplicity.’’

And now: Pretender to the Throne.

The establishment wanted a candidate with a long track record in American political life. You can't be reintroduced to anyone when you've been a key member of a zombie dynasty for the last 30 years. Every single time we thought we got rid of the Clintons, they keep finding a way to claw their way back into power.

Simply put, you can't fix this batch of damaged goods. People know who Hillary is and they don't like her. She can say that she's "New and Improved" Hillary or something ridiculous like that and it won't matter. The voters know that she's a political chameleon, a snake that's never to be trusted.

Hillary Who™?

HRC has to repackage herself every few months so that the shit doesn't show through. So let's build some dreams together--your's real; mine fake:[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWODsfJaIEg&list=PLgUjYfhbmZo5VDmmSg08Tl...

She wouldn't need to reintroduce herself if she actually consistently stood for something.

Hi all, just on from a month in sad-land, great to be here. Can't go to all-hills-all-the-time at DK anymore, and can't look at the msn, where 'presumptive' means 'absolute,' despite the fact that the FBI's investigation is still quite ongoing. And Liz's behavior is so 'Et tu, Brute?' as to make me see her now in-toga-all-the-time. The re- re- re- invention of this Caterpillar of the Commonwealth, and the 'liberal' media falling all over her would be, again and still, comical if it wasn't pathetic. That no one challenges her on exactly why she wants the Big Chair, and why it's necessary to keep re-calibrating her persona-- urrrgh!!!! If you don't lie, if you won't say anything to achieve power, then you won't have to worry, prevaricate, confuse, obfuscate, fake-it, lie again, etc. 'Ye shall know them by their actions.' Do the right thing, as Bernie has, and you won't need to sell your nastiness to us again and again and again. But the 'liberal' media look at this and get all geeked out, oh, look what she's trying now! Let's cover it like it's important!

She's a fount of mendacious horror and a paragon of mediocrity. I still believe-- thanks to four years of Greek and a fondness for Greek Drama-- that the Fates are preparing a final act of catastrophe for this farce of Election 2016. Tragic character flaws and all that, e.g. overpowering hubris. But my question remains-- whose tragedy will it be? Ours or hers? What's new with the indictment thingy? Any rays of hope on the horizon?

The Intercept?
Here's a couple paragraphs:

Hillary Clinton gave a big speech in Raleigh on her plans for the economy on June 22. It was full of Bernie Sanders-like rhetoric about “outrageous behavior” by business and Wall Street.

But it also included a dog whistle that only huge multinational corporations would hear, telling them that she plans to deliver on one of their greatest dreams and slash their longterm taxes by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Here’s what Clinton said:

Let’s break through the dysfunction in Washington to make the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II. … In my first 100 days as president, I will work with both parties to pass a comprehensive plan to create the next generation of good-paying jobs. Now, the heart of my plan will be the biggest investment in American infrastructure in decades, including establishing an infrastructure bank that will bring private sector dollars off the sidelines and put them to work here.

An infrastructure bank to rebuild America’s tattered infrastructure is a reasonable idea, and was also proposed by Barack Obama when he was running for president in 2008. Certainly America’s tattered roads, bridges and sewers desperately need an upgrade.

As she's reintroducing herself, she might let us know that Bill might be appointed to run, said bank - or maybe her bff Jamie Dimon! Waiting with bated breath for this one!

When John Edwards was willing to gamble the Democratic Party's election and the well being of the United States in order to pursue his obsession with becoming president despite the disqualifying affair he was hiding while his wife was dying of cancer, Democrats were outraged, most especially, those of us who were his supporters. He immediately withdrew in shame.

The bigger picture with regard to Hillary Clinton' email server is a vastly worse shame. Without regard to whatever else the FBI concludes, or whatever additional revelations we may get from Assange, intelligence committee damage reports, and others, the current evidence already proves beyond any reasonable doubt that Hillary Clinton knowingly lied when she first said, "I never received, nor sent any classified information" from her private account. When two Inspector General testified in January that classified materials was discovered on her server,

She then changed her story to "nothing marked classified." But, then we discovered that both the Espionage Act and her signed NDA clearly state that whether classified material is marked or not is irrelevant as classification is based on content not markings, so at best this claim was yet another lawyer-like evasion.

But, then an email marked confidential was, found, then Top Secret - SAP emails about the drone program and North Korean nuclear missal sites. So she changed her story again saying, "nothing that she had the impression at the time that it might be classified.

Additionally, she claimed that the private basement server was authorized when the latest scathing IG report clearly establishes that she neither ask for, or received authorization, and had she asked it would have been denied.

She said see was cooperating and open to answering all questions from anyone, then we learn she refused to meet with the IG and hasn't held a press conference in 200 plus days.

Her fraudulent representations have been the basis of Democratic Primary voters voting and Super Delegates endorsement. She has not acknowledged her deceptions to her own supporters, nor shown any sign of remorse.

If she does not withdraw within the next month she will put the Super Delegates and even her own pledged delegates, who can change their vote for matters or conscious, in the awkward position of having to replace her or knowingly endorse this deception which will be a disaster for their own reputations, the Democratic Party, and the Nation.

What kind of a person would do this? Knowingly lying to her own supporters, voters, and delegates telling us we have nothing to worry about, when she has known all along what she has done.

So here we see two independent disqualifying issues - her character, and her judgement. Perhaps, also a third issue with regard to her complete incompetence at lying.

If she withdraws now, she still may be able to do so retaining some few shreds of grace and legacy. If she choose to bulldoze through with the apparent strategy of getting herself "locked-in" after the convention, on the assumption that Democrats will have to support her rather than risk a Trump presidency, she will guarantee that she goes down like Richard Nixon, in complete disgrace and breaking the hearts of young women and girls everywhere for whom she is a hero. But that idea that she can avoid this fate by getting herself "locked-in" at the convention is yet another example of a severe "judgement disorder."

The rapid escalation of revelations will only continue to a fate she must already know. Her most graceful exit would be to withdraw now so we have a chance to debate "Plan B." But, that choice would be a demonstration of "presidential level judgement," something we no know she does not have. So the Republicans must already be planning their impeachment committees.

CNN did yesterday, I believe. The dam is springing multiple leaks. Abedin's spouting the Fifth is/was today. Or her amnesia. House of cards meets not-so-gentle breeze?
