The Clintons Step in it Again

There was a big anti-Hillary Clinton demonstration today in Illinois.  The protesters were mostly Polish Americans angry about comments made by Bill Clinton the other day in which he said that both Poland and Hungary were moving towards dictatorships because democracy was too hard for those countries.  Since both countries are governed by elected leaders who answer to an elected parliament, Clinton was way off base.  He just does not like that both countries selected populist/nationalist leaders who reject the soft orthodox liberalism that the Clintons like so much. 

According to the media, Bill Clinton is some sort of wonder politician who knows just what to say to a crowd.  Despite the media praise, Bill managed to annoy some rather important groups of voters by making these nasty statements about Poland and Hungary.  There is no up side for the statements either.  Particularly in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio, there are large Polish American populations who were already wavering in their support of the Democrats.  With Bill making these sorts of attacks, it is all that much more likely that these blocs will vote for Trump in the fall. 

The truth is that Poland is a reliable American ally in Europe and has been since the fall of the Soviet Union.  Hungary has also been a good friend to America during that time.  According to Hillary, Donald Trump is "not qualified" to be president because he says things which foreign nations will hear and which will cause America problems.  The media ought to ask Hillary today, TODAY, what is the reason for Bill to attack the elected governments of our allies Poland and Hungary.  What possible benefit is there to the USA in such attacks?  Doesn't this prove that by her own standards Hillary is not qualified to be president?
