The current attacks on Hillary Clinton over her secret email server do come as something of an interesting surprise. With all of the decades of scandals that have surrounded Hillary, yet been ignored by the media, one can only wonder; “What brought this on and why?” It becomes even more curious given the fact that the attacks are being carried out almost exclusively by her fellow Democrats and with the full cooperation of the Democrat-controlled media. What could be the reason that Hillary has received more negative coverage in the past week over her email server than she has over years of previous scandals, including Benghazi, where four brave Americans that might have been saved were brutally killed on her watch? There is one possible explanation that does make sense and, if correct, confirms the author’s opinion that the Democrat Party will never nominate Hillary Clinton as their candidate for President. The following explanation will provide the reasoning behind this opinion.
It is a simple and well known fact that in 2008, it was entirely the efforts and actions of Democrats -- not Republicans -- that kept Mrs. Clinton out of the White House. Although she attempted to stay in the race until the convention, her viable candidacy was eliminated very early in the contest. Following her loss in the Iowa Caucuses, the Democrat Party unceremoniously dumped Hillary as a serious candidate. This was done even though Iowa is a small state, and her loss there was inconsequential as far as the number of convention delegates involved. Also, she was dumped with the full knowledge that, if nominated, Hillary was virtually certain to win over any of the likely Republican candidates in the general election in November.
After dumping the sure win that Hillary represented, the Democrats threw their support behind a virtually unknown, completely unqualified and certainly not vetted Junior Senator from Illinois, Barrack Hussein Obama. Although the Democrats knew that they could play the “race card” to Mr. Obama’s advantage, his election in November was anything but a sure thing. To make a move like this was hardly the type of risk that the Democrat Party is known for taking. Democrats always fight hard, they always fight dirty and they always fight to win and dropping a candidate that most saw as unbeatable was totally out of character for them. Why, then, was Hillary dumped, and why so unceremoniously? In the author’s opinion it was a clear case of pure Democrat "back room power” in action. The “bosses” had spoken and Hillary had to go.
It helps to understand how things work in the Democrat Party as anyone old enough to remember Chicago’s mayor, Richard J. Dailey can attest. Although they loudly proclaim otherwise, they have never been the "party of the little guy". They are and always have been the party of the political “boss”. At all levels; city, county, state and national, the Democrat Party has always been run with tight control from "behind the scenes" by small groups of very powerful individuals or "bosses". These “bosses” may be senators, congressmen, governors, state or local officials, mayors, party officials or the men that bring in the money but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they hold the power and they control the money. However, as much as all of the various Democrat Party "bosses" may crave power for themselves, they also all know that within the Party system, to acquire and retain that power, they must be willing to share it with the other "bosses" at all the various levels. Anyone who fails play by this rule in the Democrat Party find themselves “on the outside” in very short order.
During his first term as president, Bill gave Hillary the job of creating a plan for the governmental takeover of the nation’s healthcare system. Controlling healthcare had long been a goal of the Democrat Party and Hillary’s effort was considered to be a viable attempt at reaching that goal. However, Hillary chose to develop “her” plan on her own, and in secret with no input from the Party “bosses”. By taking this approach, Hillary showed the “bosses” that she did not need them and that she was not going to share power with them. That was her mistake.
It is the opinion of the author that the Democrat Party “bosses” have never forgotten how arrogantly Hillary behaved toward them in the healthcare issue back in 1993 and that it was the Party “bosses” that derailed Hillary’s 2008 presidential bid. If the author is correct what we are seeing now in the current attacks on Hillary is that the “bosses” have still neither forgotten nor forgiven.
