A weak candidate whose popularity is waning and who might be indicted on federal charges of mishandling classified information took to a New York City stage Tuesday night to announce she is now the presumptive nominee for the Democrat Party. Hillary Clinton claimed the title after she won the primaries for sizable states like California and New Jersey. As if it mattered. The Leftmedia gave the struggling candidate a boost by declaring victory Monday before the voters even headed to the polls Tuesday.

As if moving “forward” is always better. We should go back to a time when families were intact, Americans made stuff and people knew which bathroom to use without federal government diktats.

Make no mistake: Clinton is a weak candidate. When she was running against a certain first-term senator from Illinois, Clinton received 2,600,000 votes in the California primary of 2008.

It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible.” Of course, she never mentioned how “pro woman” she was when Bill Clinton was, er, cavorting with female aides and interns…
