‘Texts from Hillary’ meme shows Clinton in charge

If there was any doubt that Hillary Clinton’s stock is higher than ever -- and that losing in 2008 was probably the best thing to happen to her -- it’s the hilarious, inescapable “Texts from Hillary” phenomenon. The message is that Clinton is in charge, above the fray, for perhaps the first time in her political life -- a time that happens to coincide with headlines about her record-high approval ratings and her triumph in meaningless prospective polls for the 2016 race.

Hilliary's in charge...but of what? In charge of Iran's nuclear weapons, how about North Korea's ICBM, maybe Syria's population reduction efforts. Well, lets move on, say China's growing role in world politics, and Venezula's further decent into totalitarianism?? Hilliary has been in charge all right...in charge of the death of America's prominence win world affairs and well-being. The USA may not have been perfect as the world's leader, but those who are replacing us, will make our children morn for the days that world feared the USA. And the be thousands on thousands of young military coming home in body bags, with Hilliary stamped on everyone.

The best one suggests she received a photo from Anthony Weiner.

Wow, it's not even 2016 and the far left propaganda has started.

This "large and in charge" meme is a work of fiction. How is Clinton, in the real (not cyber) world, not associated with the failed Russian reset button, failed Iranian engagement, failed North Korean policy, and failed Israeli-Palestinian 'peace process'. Was Condi Rice immune from the disdain held for Bush's policies? What coating of political teflon is on Hillary, as the de facto Foreign Minister of the United States. Her term of Secretary of State wreaks of failure, but alas, the liberals are always the last to know. That's why they take such comfort in the imagined Hillary musings in cyber space.

Too many negative comments for a hard working woman (I'm serious). When flying, apps already loaded, I try to relax and play games on my phone.I think she's playing battleship.
