Bill Clinton: Trump knows ‘how to get angry white men to vote for him’

Posted by | December 19, 2016 08:03 | Filed under: Politics

Former President Clinton spoke to a Westchester newspaper about Hillary Clinton’s loss.

President-elect Donald Trump “doesn’t know much,” former President Bill Clinton told a local newspaper earlier this month, but “one thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote for him.”

…The former president held court earlier this month in Ketonah, New York, where he took questions from the reporter and other customers inside a small bookstore.

On the question of Russian cyberattacks damaging the candidacy of his wife, Hillary Clinton, the former president said “you would need to have a single-digit IQ not to recognize what was going on.” But he blamed FBI Director James Comey for her loss, telling those gathered around him that he had “cost her the election” by announcing with less than two weeks to go before the election that the bureau was examining fresh evidence related to her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state…

    I’m no Trump fan, but can’t Bill and Hillary just fade away now? They had their run and are now passe.

      No, of course not. The GOP needs someone to compare their oh so pious and good God fearing “family values” party to. Remember, Bill Clinton had consensual sex *gasp* with an adult in the White House, and Hillary used the wrong e-mail server. The GOP needs to keep holding up Bill as an example of the runaway debauchery and unwholesomeness of those dang liberals. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/974d0549ad58976a3da7a225ae5bd0184d8d7d8dd8cae295d040502fbd415f7f.jpg

        What would be the response at the William household if it were discovered that William had sex with an adult who was not his wife? Would Mrs William make a goofy snark, *gasp*???

          That might be forgiven. Molesting little boys (GOP speaker Hastert), or committing war crimes (Cheney), no. I can’t believe I have to actually point out the difference IE, raping kids (Hastert), to having sex with a consenting adult (Clinton), to someone, but then again Republicans have never been too keen on morality.
          It’s hysterical when one considers the dismal record of the GOP and it’s wholesale assault on common decency.

            And if it happened more than once, or if there were allegations by multiple women of rape???

            Based on your previous answer I don’t think forgiveness would be on the table.

            Now, the issue isn’t just a GOP issue, there are plenty of examples of ethical failure on both sides. Republicans tend to resign, Democrats deny and fight the charges. Ted Kennedy killed a woman in Mass, and got away with it.

            Now, what is your mountain of evidence in regards to Trump? A very old recording…. Anything else?

              You are so desperate to divert from your boy and his record of sexual assault that you even try bring my own marriage into it? Really? How desperate are you? Old recording? A whole lot newer than the twenty year old scandal you like to keep bringing up IE Clinton. Clearly you have absolutely no concept of time, reality, or applicability, so I will help you out here.

              1. Ted Kennedy is dead

              2. Bill Clinton isn’t running for President

              3 Evidence.? It’s a f*cking recording of the next President describing in great detail how he sexually assaults women? What else do you need?

              But as long as you bring it up. Pack a lunch Skippy. You’re going to be here a while. http://jesusnorepublican.org/+Reasonable/gopimmorality.html

              Enjoy.

      Standard, corporate approved anti-Clinton response. Never talk about or try to counter what the Clintons are saying, no matter how true and smart what they say is.

      It’s not just you. It’s whoever like a robot responds to anything they say or do. It could be you, it could be another right wing mindless trollie. It could be some shameless, lying right winger Republican on Fox News or some MSNBC host or Trump protector and enabler

      That’s right, it could be the Clinton hating Chris Matthews on sickening corporate, Trump worshiping MSNBC, including anyone of sitting there on the Clinton and Democratic Party-hating (so called LIBERAL hahahahahaha) Morning Joe panel, like long time Clinton hater Mike Barnacle, or just about anyone else, but your response there (after your obligatory you don’t like Donald Trump but you still give him a free ride in the REAL SCRUTINY department anyway, even though you don’t like him, you say), is the same old negative response to anything the Clintons say.

      Then I have to laugh when people can’t figure out why the Clintons lost. She gets NOTHING BUT NEGATIVITY FROM THE PRESS and STILL GOT almost 3 million more votes than Trump. Imagine how big she would have won if she got fair coverage, instead of NEGATIVITY ONLY.

    No no no bill you can’t blame the Caucasian’s for this mistake.

    I’ve been reading we are quickly becoming the minority

    Every day that goes by its more ridiculous. 95 percent of Black Females, 95 percent voted for Hillary. Where is the wailing and crying about that?

  4. Robert M. Snyder December 19th, 2016 at 15:49

    53 percent of white women voters voted for Trump. Why is Bill Clinton only accusing the men of being angry? Don’t women also get angry? And when they do, isn’t it usually for a pretty good reason?

      Do you have any data to debunk his claim? Because all *I* see you doing is the “Yeah, but what about those people? Shouldn’t every statement include all possible permutations when expressed?” In other words, you imply he is making some sort of incorrect or improper statement, not because of inaccuracy, but because it didn’t include ALL possible players.

        President-elect Donald Trump “doesn’t know much,” former President Bill Clinton told a local newspaper earlier this month, but “one thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote for him.”

        This is an attempt to play identity politics and to divide. It’s singling out one specific demographic and laying blame for his wife’s failure at their feet. I think Robert is correct to point out the ridiculousness of this. Hillary was rejected by the American people, (feel free to flog out the Hillary won by popular vote line), and this is reality.

        • bpollen December 20th, 2016 at 02:41

          Your “rejected by the American people” is a lie, debunked repeatedly. But hey, you only know what talking points you’re given, right?

          And Robert’s point seemed to be more that he didn’t mention the women who could be angry. Which is the exact same type of thinking that responds to “Black Lives Matter” with a vehement riposte of “All Lives Matter,” thereby proving that the point was missed.

          Speaking of dividing and identity politics (bigotry and scapegoating) how’s Precedent-Elect Petulant bringing us together again? The misogyny? The “Mexicans can’t be fair?” The “Muslims can’t come to Amurka?”

          Oh, yeah, I’m still waiting for those MULTITUDES of links to people here claiming Hillary won the EC. You remember, don’t you? The ones you’ve repeatedly refused to provide? The ones that prove you ain’t lying your ass off, like you did with your claim about MY promoting the “Hillary won the EC.” The claim I never ever ever made and you couldn’t provide a link for ALSO?

          Got proof (links) or are you an empty suit blowing something out of your nether regions? It might just be hot air, but I doubt it.
