Hillary Clinton says being a capitalist likely hurt her among socialist Dems
Hillary Clinton agreed Wednesday that being a capitalist likely damaged her 2016 campaign because nearly half of Democrats say they are socialists.
"Probably," Clinton said at the Shared Values Leadership Summit in New York City, after being asked whether support for capitalism hurt her at the polls.
"It's hard to know, but if you're in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists, or self-described socialists, and I'm asked, ‘Are you a capitalist?' And I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability,' you know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh, she's a capitalist.'"
Clinton won the Iowa caucus by a mere half-point.
Following a short hiatus from promoting her election post-mortem book "What Happened," Clinton returned to political activities Monday, just six months before the [2018] midterm elections.
The former candidate attended a gathering of nearly a dozen progressive groups supported by Onward Together, the post-election political organization she founded that's aimed at “advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election.”

She didn't seem to have any issue with those organizations during her campaign. But then again, they were putting money in her pocket at the time.
So says the person who had all of the campaign funds under her personal control. It seems like she milked the capitalist system for all its worth. Makes me "shutter" to think how close this insane idiot came to ending up in the Oval Orifice.
Nothing wrong with being a capitalist. Of which Hillary Clinton certainly is.
Can't and won't say the same thing about Supply Side folk though. That belongs to the GOP.
Clinton never said she was a Supply Sider. In fact, cited its faults on many occasions.
Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP? Supply Siders. The Romney/Ryan campaign affirmed this many times.
Ha ha ha ha...
Hillary's ongoing misery, has, and continues to be, a high water mark in American politics for me!
It's so awesome listening to her complain, and blame, and explain...
I was so thrilled when she lost, but watching her wallow in it, is like the gift that keeps on giving.
Hey Hillary, YOU lost to the worst candidate in living memory! Do you ever consider how terrible that makes YOU? Fucking awful! You're the biggest fucking loser that EVER lived!
If you had any self respect, which you don't, you would move to Antigua, never to be heard from, or seen, again.
BUT please don't do that! Continue to humiliate yourself at losing, not ONE, but TWO presidential elections!
This country, HATES you MORE, than they despise the pussy grabber!
You are so repugnant, that they elected Trump!
IF you don't feel like the biggest loser in the history of American politics, you have a screw loose, and your party should have nominated that idiot Sanders!
Seriously, in the truest form of Bashido, you'd commit ritual suicide!
Ha ha ha ha, you're the most pathetic woman that ever lived!
You could have tried to come up with something original. Clinton hasn't been relevant in politics for 18 months. Isn't there something else you have an opinion on?
I've been holding it in!
Seriously, isn't it amazing?
She basically lost to the worst candidate in history!
Is there even a word for that?
On the contrary, she keeps herself front and center and the lapdog media dutifully follows. Sure we could, but we're having too much fun gloating and rubbing crazy Hillary in the liberal's faces.
Tell Clinton that (if you dare)
If that were even remotely true, she wouldn't be a headliner in mainstream and cable news every week since she lost the 2016 election. I chose Fox for this seed, but I could have easily chosen left-wing sources which state the same thing.
Hillary, you just are not a very likable person, that is what hurt you more than anything.
