The Dog Trainer Goes with Hillary!
[guest post by JVW]
File this under the heading of “It’s Been a While Since We Have Bashed the Los Angeles Times Around These Parts.”
The insipid and dim editorial board at the Los Angeles Times endorsed Hillary! Clinton for the Democrat nomination today. In a nod to their far-left readership they acknowledged their trepidation in the headline: “For all her faults, Hillary Clinton is vastly better prepared than Bernie Sanders for the presidency” [emphasis added]. The word “vastly,” however is striking, suggesting that even though Mrs. Clinton is venal, thuggish, hysterical, and incompetent she is better than the nutjob socialist from Vermont. In sizing up Sanders, the editorial board lays out this interesting anecdote:
The Vermont senator has made the race more substantive and has forced his opponent to address issues that might otherwise have gone undiscussed, but in the end he has offered little reason to believe that he would be able to enlist recalcitrant Republicans in Congress in accomplishing his priorities. Rather, he told the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times, he would say to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell: “Hey, Mitch, look out the window. There’s a million young people out there now. And they’re following politics in a way they didn’t before. If you want to vote against this legislation, go for it. But you and some of your friends will not have your seats next election.” If only it were that simple.
Yeah, that sound about like the childish Sanders worldview.
Of Clinton, they attempt to convince us:
Clinton may seem inauthentic to some or to lack that drink-a-beer-with-me quality that voters often look for in a candidate. But she has a grasp of the complexities of government and policy that is unmatched by any of the other candidates who ran for president this year — or by most candidates in most years. She is sober and thoughtful, in possession not just of the facts she needs to make her arguments but of a depth of experience that undergirds her decisions.
Poppycock. This is a left-wing editorial board who is supporting the favored identity group candidate in this election. Hillary! is every bit as awful as we have been saying, and the Dog Trainer beclowns itself by trying to pretend otherwise.

I can’t tell if it is cute or just sad that Sanders thinks his band of doorm room Marxists represents a real revolution.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/13/2016 @ 3:35 pmI am shocked, shocked to see the LAT endorsing Hillary. I was so sure they were going to spearhead a “Draft Ron Paul” campaign.
nk (9faaca) — 5/13/2016 @ 3:42 pmBut she has a grasp of the complexities of government and policy that is unmatched by any of the other candidates who ran for president this year — or by most candidates in most years.
Apparently the LAT didn’t realize that there were actual sitting governors and senators running for office this year. You would think they would have been aware of this.
Dana (0ee61a) — 5/13/2016 @ 3:53 pmThe woman is under an FBI investigation – not a “security inquiry,” and she has 147 FBI agents devoted to her specifically. I think this falls under the “all her faults” category. Of course, if they were to actually list specifics of the “all her faults” category, they would be hard-pressed to endorse her without readers doing a collective eye roll.
Dana (0ee61a) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:02 pmHard to blame them. HRC is more vindictive than anyone who isn’t literally a member of the Mafia or a character in “Game Of Thrones.”
M. Scott Eiland (3a0fd3) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:04 pm2. Time to switch to dynamite, then. No way a gutless corporation can cut off access to *that*.
M. Scott Eiland (3a0fd3) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:06 pmIf Hillary were running against any decent human being from among the seven billion or so on Earth, there would be no reason to support her. But she is not. She is running against Trump.
nk (9faaca) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:11 pmI don’t recall; did they endorse Barack “I won” Obama over Hillary?

narciso (732bc0) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:29 pm8. Right now, she’s running against Bernie Sanders. So they can’t hide behind Trump to justify ignoring her myriad flaws.

narciso (732bc0) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:35 pmThe LAT is leftist, but they’re not crazy. They know Bernie is a loony-tune.
I understand that narciso has some minor sectarian differences over some obscure points of esoteric dogma with Hillary, and I respect his religious convictions, but Trump’s evil is obvious.

If they actually listed “all her faults” there would not be room on the page for anything else.
kishnevi (9cb6b5) — 5/13/2016 @ 4:41 pm‘from a certain point of view’ they see nothing wrong with what she has done, her intentions are honorable, doesn’t matter she’s turned whole regions into ‘dumpster fires’

I favor a tax of product. “In order to do business within the State of Texas, X amount of these drugs must be provided annually, as a tax.” Justice Roberts would have no problem with that.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/13/2016 @ 6:47 pmBTW, this cinches the election for Bernie. Most Democrats rightly view the LAT as a corporate tool.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/13/2016 @ 6:49 pmTwo …. Words. I’ll . go …… slow. …. Elizabeth …. Warren.
f1guyus (5a4596) — 5/13/2016 @ 8:33 pmAll the laws are on the side of Big Pharma. And enforced by the DEA. Texas already had stocks of sodium pentothal seized by the DEA. And the same will happen if any state tries to divert drugs for executions.

nk, that nails it. Although you have admitted to leaning left in certain ways, I think you’re even more liberal than you realize. Your type of leftie squishiness, when duplicated or cloned among millions of Americans, and then combined with all the people who are dyed-in-the-wool liberals, is a major reason this society is declining further and faster.
BTW, a hesitancy to be candid about one’s ideological orientation — which is a fairly common trait — is why the LA Times can go on and on about the finer points of Hillary without saying one thing — without using the “L” word — about her being of the left.
Mark (12cf35) — 5/14/2016 @ 12:10 amand why does the LAT think the “American people” want a Pres. with that “drink a beer with me” quality? I know I don’t/ The CEO of the company I work for is immensely talented, saved the company thru great planning in 2009 and has led us to great success. He is VERY approachable with issues that can be DOCUMENTED, DEFENDED, and are of significant interest. But “drink a beer with” I don’t think so. He has more important things to do and I want him doing the IMPORTANT things. It is in my best interest. Same with a President. Drinking beer and butt dancing on a bar is disturbing on every level. The fate of our country is in the hands of these goofballs.

What of it, Mark? Wanna make something of it? Well, do you? Get your shooting iron and meet me on Main Street at high noon. Or you gonna back water?
nk (9faaca) — 5/14/2016 @ 4:29 am“But she has a grasp of the complexities of government”
But not of reset buttons…or blackberries…or computer servers.
Patricia (5fc097) — 5/14/2016 @ 6:56 amYeah, Hillary’s unusually good at grasping – drag a $100 bill down the street in Chappaqua and watch her eyes get big and her fingers begin to twitch in anticipation. Like a dog to a bone.
ropelight (b7df23) — 5/14/2016 @ 7:54 amGood Allah, Mark. You have to get tired of typing that nonsense.
JD (ceff4c) — 5/14/2016 @ 8:32 amGood Allah, Mark. You have to get tired of typing that nonsense.
My favorite part of the list six months is how we conservatives have formed the circular firing squad.
JVW (eabb2a) — 5/14/2016 @ 9:19 amAnd by “favorite” I mean most lamentable.
JVW (eabb2a) — 5/14/2016 @ 9:20 amGood Allah, Mark. You have to get tired of typing that nonsense.
JD, I’ve noticed you’ve expressed a subtle bit of resentment on various occasions over my use of the specter of Detroit, Michigan as a symbol of liberalism gone off the deep end. I believe nk has reacted in a similar way.
Left-leaning biases embedded in most people often will cause them to be fools and naifs, frequently or occasionally.
Mark (c7fa43) — 5/14/2016 @ 10:00 amAnd what’s it to you, Mark? Mind your own business or strap on your six-guns.
