Failed presidential candidates tend to talk about things. Jimmy Carter did a lot of talking about fair voting in other countries, among other things, Al Gore talked about anthropogenic climate change (and had a rather funny turn on Saturday Night Live<\/i>), and John Kerry talked about Senate stuff, because he was still a Senator.<\/div>\n

What they didn’t do was continually re-litigate the election that they lost<\/p>\n

Not so Hillary Clinton, who has been making the rounds talking about how it’s not her fault, and it wasn’t fair.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, she owns this, and she has owned this ever since hiring the total mook, ironically enough said mook was actually named Mook, to mismanage her campaign.<\/p>\n

Now she is claiming that it is all the fault of those anti-capitalist socialists<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton<\/a> says identifying as a capitalist hurt her in the 2016 campaign. <\/p>\n

Clinton, who beat out democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-Vt.) for the party’s nomination, said in a Wednesday interview with Time Inc. Brands executive Alan Murray that her economic policies were “probably” a hard sell for many Democratic primary voters, as reported by the Daily Beast<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to know, but I mean if you\u2019re in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I\u2019m asked \u2018Are you a capitalist?\u2019 and I say, \u2018Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.\u2019 You know, that probably gets lost in the \u2018Oh my gosh, she\u2019s a capitalist!\u2019 \u201d Clinton said. <\/p>\n

Clinton just barely edged out Sanders<\/a> in Iowa’s first presidential caucus of the cycle.<\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast reported that Republicans quickly seized on the comments, posting them on multiple social media channels.<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>(emphasis mine<\/i>)<\/p>\n

If I were a cynic,*<\/sup> I would think that Hillary is attempting to sabotage the Democratic Party so that they will run back to her in 2020, or because she’s just spiteful.<\/p>\n

Seriously, this is the sort of sh%$ that you should be doing over drinks with friends, not at the f%$#ing Shared Value Leadership Summit on camera.<\/p>\n

To quote Samuel L. Jackson, I’m sock of these motherf%$#ing stakes on this motherf%$#ing plane! <\/p>\n

*<\/sup>Oh, that’s right, I am a cynic, and she IS being a spiteful narcissist who still has delusions another bite at the apple in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poem, apologies to Theodore Geisel, after the break:
