How Hillary Clinton Stole the Democratic Presidential Nomination

This section chronicles how Hillary Clinton finally got the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2016—an accomplishment she and her supporters touted as an historic first for any woman to achieve—on her way to her second unsuccessful attempt to be elected president of the United States.

The truth is that Hillary Rodham Clinton has been running for president her entire adult life, certainly at least from the time she was an undergraduate at Wellesley, the elite, all-girls undergraduate school in Massachusetts that is one of the Seven Sisters Colleges for women, formed in 1915 when the Ivy League schools were typically reserved for men.

What Hillary has consistently attempted to hide from voters is another important truth in understanding what she is all about, namely, her deep roots in the far-left radical politics of the 1960s.

At Wellesley, Hillary transformed from the “Goldwater Girl” she had been growing up with her parents in Park Ridge, Illinois. While at Wellesley, Hillary went radical, deciding to spend time with socialist Saul Alinsky, the original “community organizer” whose 1971 handbook for social activism, “Rules for Radicals,” was dedicated to Lucifer, whom Alinsky termed “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he won his own kingdom.”1

Hillary, having decided to write her college thesis on Alinsky, spent time being mentored by him in Chicago as Alinsky was developing the ideas for his book and Hillary was visiting the city’s low-income neighborhoods, doing the fieldwork for her thesis. Hillary’s 92-page senior thesis was entitled “THERE IS ONLY THE FIGHT … An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.”2 Hillary attributed her title to two lines from the second poem, “East Cokor,” in T.S. Eliot’s 1940 “Four Quartets,” that read: (1.) “There is only the fight to recover what has been lost,” and (2.) “And found and lost again and again.”

In the senior thesis Hillary defined a radical as follows: “A radical is one who advocates sweeping changes in the existing laws and methods of government. These proposed changes are aimed at the roots of political problems which in Marxian terms are the attitudes and behaviors of men.” This Hillary shares with the politician who beat her in 2008, when Hillary made her first unsuccessful run at the presidency—namely, Barack Hussein Obama, who like Hillary was also a Saul Alinsky “community organizer” acolyte whose roots in the far-left of Chicago politics lagged Hillary’s by two decades.

Finally, before plunging into the narrative, one more truth about Hillary is important to understand: namely, that unlike William Jefferson Clinton, her husband, Hillary lacks the charisma to be the type of natural politician voters genuinely like. Hillary met Bill Clinton in 1971 at Yale Law School, where both were students. The key insight was articulated by Dolly Kyle, one of Bill Clinton’s longtime lovers in Arkansas, who in her 2014 book, “Hillary: The Other Woman,” called Hillary the “Warden” after describing Bill and Hill’s marriage as a political arrangement.

Kyle insisted that Hillary realized she could not make it in big-time politics unless she rode on Bill’s coattails—a realization that hit Hillary after she failed to pass the law exam in Washington, DC, and left the Watergate Committee in a controversy that has dogged her with accusations of unethical behavior. “Hillary stayed in Washington into the summer of 1974, trying desperately to establish herself as a potential political power near the seat of power in the nation’s capital city,” Kyle wrote. “That is something she was never able to do on her own.”3
