Former presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blasted President Donald Trump and said in a new op-ed in the Atlantic published Sunday that the U.S. needed to step up to defend democracy, an American bedrock she believes is eroding under Trump.

“Democracy may be our birthright as Americans, but it’s not something we can ever take for granted,” she wrote. “Every generation has to fight for it, has to push us closer to that more perfect union. That time has come again.”

  1. Isn’t it illegal for Hillary to have an op-ed published?

  2. Did she get paid for it?

    I wonder if she emailed the Op-Ed to the Atlantic? Because we gotta know.

    I’m growing more appreciative of Hillary every damned day! Not terribly long ago, i was of the impression that she should fade away from the public eye in order to minimize the vitriol she raises among Republicans, especially with the mid-terms coming up. Now, however, i’ve done a complete 180. Bring her on! Having the one person to have actually beaten the Dotard by 3,000,000 votes, causing no end of agony and frustration and embarrassment and anger and determination to undo everything HRC, and having the one person who is ubiquitous with the sound-bite “Lock her up!” while their criminal heroes who they voted for are being locked up on a daily basis, and most importantly having the one person in this world who can so easily get under the Dotard’s skin, and make him freak out so visibly and publicly, thus exposing him as a fraud and incompetent criminal, all in the lead-up to the mid-terms, FULL SPEED AHEAD, SECRETARY CLINTON!!!

    Long, erudite, very well written piece with numerous historical references…that Trump will “destroy” with a 240 character childish “your momma” tweet.
