Dick morris hillary clinton analysis

Let me be honest: I am probably not the intended audience of Dick Morris’s latest political issue “Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race.” I like Hillary Clinton.

But I love political trash, and Dick Morris embodies the genre. He has worked as a political strategist and pollster for a variety of colorful characters, including Bill Clinton, Trent Lott and, currently, FOX News—along the way showing he has no philosophical core. And even though tabloids alleged in 1996 that Morris sucked a high-priced call girl’s toes, he nonetheless collaborated with his wife, lawyer and former lobbyist Eileen McGann, on this book.

Hillary vs. the Hate Machine: How Clinton Became a Vessel for America’s Fury

They were everywhere this summer, the wanna-be statesmen, the failed comedians, the conspiracy theorists and entrepreneurs with political convictions, or absolutely no convictions, selling the national id. In Cleveland, they trawled the streets outside the Republican National Convention, shouting, “Hillary’s lies matter!” or “Hillary for prison!” – the slogans stamped on buttons, T-shirts, bumper stickers, decals, trucker hats, hoodies, onesies. At the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, diehards in Bernie 2016 shirts held signs reading “#NeverHillary” or “Shillary,” or handed out posters renaming the Democratic nominee “War Hawk” or “Goldman Girl” or “Monsanto Mama.” Everywhere the venom was carefully packaged and rigorously on-message.
