American Conservative Union is not ready for Hillary Clinton: ‘We’ve had enough’

Enough already. So say conservatives upon confronting the very real possibility that Hillary Clinton will soon announce her intention to run for the White House in 2016. Press reports indicate that she’ll make the move on Sunday, possibly on Twitter. And possibly not.

“Never before has a presidential candidate played so fast and loose with the truth as has Mrs. Clinton. From her refusal to shoot straight with the American people on the deaths of four Americans, including an ambassador, in Benghazi, to her unwillingness to play by the rules in the handling of her official emails during her time at the State Department, we have seen time and time again that Hillary Clinton thinks she does not have to follow the laws the rest of us have to follow,” said American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp.

“Outside of pursing a radical agenda, it&’s hard to see what, if anything, Hillary Clinton has done,” he continued, with little positive to say about Mrs. Clinton’s time as a U.S. Senator or her efforts as Secretary of State.

“Although she will brag about the tens of thousands of miles she has traveled around the globe, Mrs. Clinton’s global glad-handing resulted in no major breakthroughs. Furthermore, the world is more unsafe now than ever before. Whatever she actually did do during those thousands of miles has been conveniently lost to history when she scrubbed her computer clean in a brazen act of lawlessness,” Mr. Schlapp said.

“After eight years of Barack Obama, the last thing we need is to extend his radical policies another four years with a President Hillary Clinton. Ready? We’ve had enough,” he added.

Also not ready for the Clinton candidacy: The Republican National Committee, which released a “Stop Hillary” video spot on Friday with a sound track that advises viewers, “Hillary Clinton has some explaining to do.” The independent Stop Hillary PAC, meanwhile, has already raised $1.4 million for their campaign to prevent Mrs. Clinton, they say, from waging a successful bid for the highest office. The grassroots political action committee has accrued 827,000 members.
