Clooney Turns On Clinton: 'She's Not Good At This'

He was in a movie about a political campaign, so he knows what he's talking about.

Well, to be fair, he's pretty much on the money with his main points. Just for the wrong reasons. Was she the more qualified candidate? Yes, on paper, she certainly was. She was First Lady and did public campaigning for certain issues that she rallied for. She was elected as a Senator. She was Secretary of State. Now, controversial stuff and all that happened, but the simple truth is that she has never been convicted in a court of law for any of the actions we accuse her of. She's never even been charged. So it doesn't really count except in the court of public opinion, and the people who any of it mattered to were already not going to vote for her anyway. So as far as the election, it was a non-issue.

He's certainly correct about her public speaking. She failed to resonate. At all. I'd say she stood on those debate platforms, except she never really stood for anything. She just strung words together, the same words everyone had been hearing from every politician. People on both sides are tired of the same old talking points, especially from people we know aren't going to do anything about them. Hillary was just the same old, same old. And every time she spoke, she reminded us of that in big, neon letters. Except when she was hurling insults... but again, that was toward people who weren't voting for her anyway, but it still smacked of a desperation to rally more of the Left.

But that's not where it fell apart. I said before that she didn't stand for anything in her speeches. And she didn't. Trump stood for things. Bernie stood for things. It worked out for Trump because the GOP played fair. Bernie had already lost before his campaign started. And yet, he still gave Clinton a run for her money. And when the DNC handed her the nomination, they irrevocably split a significant number of votes from their ticket. "Bernie or bust." That was the battle call. Maybe if it had seemed like a fair fight... but the DNC stacked the primary for Hillary, everyone knew it, so many Bernie supporters left. Their votes went elsewhere, and Hillary just didn't have the presence or the ability to pull them back into the fold. They went to Stein instead.

That's the major problem in the DNC, though. They just can't see, or at least can't admit, that what happened in that primary was a major and direct cause for Hillary losing. They were even warned by their own voting base that the Democratic ticket would lose votes if they smelled any odor of corruption. Some even said outright, they would not vote for Hillary. And that's exactly what we saw play out. She won the popular vote because of overwhelming point difference in high population states that are normally blue states anyway. But she lost in a number of blue states that Obama carried, because of enough defectors from the Democratic party and enough supporters for Trump coming out to make sure that evil b@#^$ didn't get it.

So, all in all, I give him half a point. Good effort, but just far enough off the mark that warrants a deduction.

Stick to the world of make believe, your more fit for it.
