Is Hillary Ready for us?

Daniel Greenfield calls our attention to a new PAC entitled Ready for Hillary. It is meant to imply that the nation, after giving Obama a try, is now ready for Hillary. It does not imply that Hillary was not ready in 2008.

Hillary is never unready. Hillary never makes any mistakes. Not even when four Americans end up dead.

It's not Hillary who wasn't ready in 2008. It was the country that wasn't ready for Hillary. And now she will graciously give the nation of fools and ignoramuses another chance to vote for her. It's a noblesse oblige that should touch even the coldest Alaskan heart.

Greenfield's analysis is spot on brilliant.

There's a cynical posturing victimhood underlying all this. It's always someone else's fault. Hillary tried her best, but they just weren't ready to let her do the job. So the only answer is to give her the biggest job in the land based on eight years in the Senate and a brief term as Secretary of State that she wants credit, but not responsibility for.

So, what do Hillary's supporters base their support on?

Hillary's supporters sometimes identify with her, but they don't really believe in her. The identification is based on that sense of inevitable doom. The expectation that Hillary will get close enough to the big prize that she really wants only to have it unfairly snatched away from her grasp. It's not Hillary the diplomat, the senator or the liberal activist who inspires them, it's their own sense that they can never get as far ahead as they deserve without being slapped down.

They're not ready for Hillary to win. They're ready for her to lose. They want to see her continue on, even through the setbacks the way that they continue on through their setbacks. It's not Hillary the winner that they want, but Hillary the survivor. Hillary Clinton has come to occupy the cultural space of a country song and she can't seem to figure out how to break the cycle.

The "feminists" need Hillary to punish men. I'm sure it's subconscious, but it's there. Don't you feel it?

Commenter IgorR added,

Ted Cruz is the real deal. I didn't know much his race in Texas but after the first few comments he made on the national scene I knew he wasn't faking it. The Rove machine missed one. Just like I knew Rubio was a wake from the first time I saw him speak. I don't get everything right but I don't make mistakes about who is real and who is faking it. Rand Paul is a sincere person in the sense that he stands for something, but he is still a frequent liar for his cause.

I believe Cruz will be able to overcome the "born in Canada" problem.

An anonymous commenter reminded us that

the future belongs to the youth and they have been conditioned since birth to want a tyrannical dictator to rule over their lives as long as the dictator approves of promiscuity, abortion, homosexuality and irresponsible behavior which they know the Democrats do.
