MSNBC panel: Hillary Clinton is running the most ‘contrived-appearing campaign ever’

  Because Hillary Clinton left the lavishes of the White House dead-broke she can relate to the average American citizen, and to prove this she launched her now infamous Scooby van tour of Iowa to meet with average Americans on a personal level. I feel your pain because I also had that pain.

  Of course Hillary Clinton has been in the public eye for many years and she is not an average American and, try as she might, she will never be able to really understand the problems many Average Americans face on a daily basis. That is what made her Scooby tour seem so contrived–nobody is buying it and in fact it was more than a little embarrassing for her to even make this attempt for it is fooling nobody.

  But how contrived was it? It was so contrived that even the propaganda arm of the Democratic party, otherwise known as MSNBC, had to call it the “most contrived-appearing campaign ever.”

  Here is part of what the MSNBC panel had to say:

“I wish I could sit here and say it’s been a wonderful week for Hillary Clinton, but it hasn’t. All political campaigns are contrived,” said Forbes’ Rick Ungar. “But the whole point of a good one is to contrive the campaign to not appear contrived. And I don’t think I’ve seen a more contrived-appearing campaign ever. It’s just been horrible.”

“It’s been a huge distraction, I think. I think the problem is that we didn’t even know that she was talking about these messages because it was too busy talking about where Scooby Doo minivan is going or whether she tipped the server over in Chipotle. And, you know, this staged Iowa appearance with the family. I think it’s just been a disaster for the first week for Hillary Clinton. The message is getting lost.”

  Of course host Steve Kornacki had to come to the former Secretary of State’s defense:

“I’m not sure it’s been that disastrous,” Kornacki said. “It does look contrived, and politics generally does looked contrived. But I don’t know that she’s in a worse place than she was a week ago.”

  I have to believe Mr. Kornacki is right: while conservative websites and blogs had a field day with Hillary Clinton’s campaign roll-out in the end it will be forgotten and will not matter. I believe we have seen the last of the Scooby van and I expect Mrs. Clinton to shed the faux-humility and begin a more normal campaign.

  But still we might as well have a little fun with it while it lasts so here is the video of the MSNBC panel discussing the disastrous Scooby tour:

  Of course this could be just an attempt by MSNBC to give Hillary Clinton a little advice moving forward because the network has more credibility with the far left than the conservative websites and blogs, and that advice is…drop the charade. I think she will listen.
