Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says she’s not a socialist.
But when pressed in a recent interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews to explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist, Clinton was left flummoxed.
Watch Clinton fumble, even as Matthews tries to throw her a lifeline.
What do you think? What’s the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? And where does Hillary Clinton fall on the political spectrum?
She is a greedy, self absorbed power hungry person. That’s her ideology.
I agree. I describe her as a HIBO ( Hillary in Bill’s Office ). Enough said.
The funny thing is that in one speech she said that the economy is ALWAYS BETTER when there is a Demoncrap in office and later in that very same speech she said that if elected president, she would fix this broken economy. What I don’t get is why her supporters don’t understand her moronic double speak. They don’t catch the lie after lie that spews from her filthy mouth. They also don’t understand that none of her policies are sustainable. All she wants to do is spend, spend, spend. She claims she wants to bring the parties togetherto solve problems but she’s also on record saying that if Congress doesn’t back her she’ll simply pass all her BS using Executive Action and bypass the Congress altogether. Is that what we want in our next President? Will 8 years NOT have been enough?
You are so right! She does double talk! She cannot remember from oneday to the next who she is and what she has said. She is a Socialists/Progressive that is a serial Liar–period!
Hillary is not a socialist or a progressive. She is power hungry and more of a Republican than a democrat. I will never vote for her. Her biggest super pack money is coming from the big banks. She makes Bernie Sanders look real good. And most of the young people in this country are going to vote for Bernie Sanders. They can’t live on $7.25 per hour. They are angry with what is going on in the country and they can’t even afford college or pay back the student loans.
JC, your are exceptionally right. This degraded Woman should never be put into office. She has only one thing in mind and that is POWER that she absolutely does not need. LOOK AT HER HISTORY!!!! Can you not see she is cruel among other things, and will continue the downward slide of this country? Every time I try listening to her speak I get frustrated trying to keep up with her continual changing of subjects and it is clear what she is up to.
there`s a must read book out there, by the name of “rules for radicals”, by saul alinsky..published in/about 74..mainly they go after a persons ideology, if that does`nt work, they hit them personally!…available at any local library, or amazon. go to amazon, and read the reviews! it`s the union/democrap playbook, on how to bankrupt a country, ie, our skyrocketing debt, open borders, etc. websites i check are, conservative review, congressional scorecard, and ballotpedia…while your at it, look up obozzo`s financier, george soros!…the word “progressive, goes way back about 2 or 3 hundred yrs in france…a guy was trying to overthrow the gov, and named his group, “the progressives” so the democraps don`t like the words “liberal/socialist, hence, progressive is now the buzz word of choice…
These stupid people keep saying that no one can live on 7.25 an hour.
No one is supposed to live on 7.25 an hour. No one can live on 10.00 an hour
either. ENTRY LEVEL OR PART TIME JOBS ARE TEMPORARY. They
give young people experience in the job market. That’s what they are for.
They are not a career. People are supposed to move up and move on from
entry level jobs PERIOD.
God help us. Obama in a dress?
Yes but Obama has better looking legs.
I have a hard time believing anybody can be worse than Bock-Bock O’bummer. He seems to pick whatever course of action will generate the most controversy. At least a Clinton, you can look at their finances and have a good idea which way they’re going to go. She’d probably give away free guns if you could figure out how to fatten her wallet for it.
her supporters are cretinous morons, so what she says makes perfect sense to them
Unfortunately people become fanatics when they choose a candidate they hear all kinds of false promises and at the end they hear but do not listen, they think they have to choose regardless even if the candidate is worthless.
I totally agree! She is a liar. Progressive is another word for communism! She’s another Obama! She will destroy what’s left of America!
I don’t understand why she is not in prison for her actions during Benghazi ? Or because she has several of Slick Willies lady stalked and threatened ! Also because she is a douche bag !!
I read a report yesterday that in 60 mdays wqe should see an indictment from the FBI. We will see….I know if they do their job she will be indicted because she did have classified info on her personal server that has already been reported and then she lied about it! Actually, she needs to be indicted, impeached and jailed.
Gerald & Angela, I was a cryptographic person in the military, AND, I can assure you, if I had leaked one of those I would have been jailed, no questions asked. I keep wandering what it is about this individual that keeps the justice people at bay. HOW is she still getting away with it? AND, shoving it in our faces.
how about because soros is her backer, just like the communist, muslim, manchurian candidate in the black house
Obama too! They both should be indited and impeached! They get by with lying and murder. They need to be held accountable. Past Presidents would have bee impeached!
Same reason O’bummer hasn’t been impeached for all the laws he’s flaunted. In fact, O’bommer makes Hillary look like a model citizen.
Hillary & Obama are both far left wing progressive communistic socialists who want to destroy those with money and keep it for themselves. They’d like you to believe they’ll steal from the rich and give it to the poor, but that isn’t how it plays out. Bill Clinton and Hillary are jointly worth over 100 million dollars right now with a 2 billion dollar charity fund, which they never dole out to anyone, and pay themselves off the interest from the principle. The dirty rotten shame about all this is, demo-rats steal your money and keep it themselves but convince the poor they’ll be turning the money they stole over to them tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. Phooey
Yes….. very true.
You got that 100% right!
I agree, I would call her Socialist She used to keep the masses happy so she can
Agreed. Her philosophy of ‘all working together’ is to crush/destroy/eliminate anyone who gets in her way of accomplishing her agenda. Very dangerous person… a ‘wolf in sheeps clothing’.
Though you are both right, it goes so much deeper. A total investigation of what happened in Benghazi, should bring charges of both our president an Clinton up on charges of accessory to murder. The evidence has been brought before the public several times. The coverups of a movie, as the cause have been proven to not be the cause. A coverup in the event of a murder, Leads to accessory.
Both guilty parties were aware the British pulled their Embassy staff out, and warned the Whitehouse and Department of State of the eminent threat to life. Both guilty parties said, “there is not sufficient time to save them”. This is a lie of the most profound.
The reason….. When the problems with Syria started, our Navy sent an Aircraft carrier to the edge of international waters from Syrian borders. (200 miles). This places this carrier approximately 400 miles from Benghazi. It takes a jet fighter about 45 minutes to travel 400 miles, and from what I understand, and the have pinpoint firing capabilities. A chopper could have reached Benghazi in a bit over an hour. They have Seal teams on most aircraft carriers that could have certainly retaliated. Everyone from what we are told, was told to stand down. Meaning we intend to let these people, The Ambassador and other Americans, become victims purposely. Accessory to murder. You be the judge, because our judicial system certainly won’t.
You got that right, our judicial symstem is corrupt just like our entire system!
I agree she is running her own agenda to be the first Woman President and not even a good candidate. She is all about politics. What else can you say or how else can you describe her? She says she is a Progressive Democrat. I looked it the term because I don’t know what the Democrat Party stands for as they all have different views and seem to run their own agenda. Progressive Democrat according to Wikipedia: They oppose wars and occupation, health care is a human right, the disparity between the rich and poor is a social injustice, they are against big money donors dominating U.S. that block their environmental and socialist agenda, they believe flaws in the legal system and short term profits control long term needs and the future generations and therefore we need to push global warming concerns, they want to restore voting rights to all Americans ending voter suppression, and end mass criminalization in America as 1/4 of world’s criminals are in our prisons and lose all rights to vote. MOST OF THIS IS SOCIALIST VIEWS and IS SIMPLY A NICE WAY OF HILARY SAYING “I’M SOCIALIST BUT DON’T WANT TO ADMIT IT” because she wants to be President and not offend any of her prospective voters. She is what she is–it’s all about HILLARY’s AGENDA not about being American and American values, rights, religious and family values, strength and hard work–not government handouts. In God we trust and was what this nation was founded upon–not socialism or Hillary. We are not looking for reform but restoration. To make America great again.
Didn’t Larry Nichols say the first time he met Hillary she was wearing a medal around her neck that said, ”I am a Proud Member of the Communists Party!” She was also a follower of Saul Alinsky. She and Saul even corresponded via mail. How ”dumb” does she ”think” the Non-liars, and Non-Baby Killers of this Country are? Let’s not forget that Awful “Cackle” when she doesn’t have an answer to an intelligent question. It finally ”came out,” that she was ‘Fired” from the Nixon Hearings because of her LIES!
You are right! Hillary is a communist. Saul Alinsky was her mentor.
That’s good! Too bad none of her lies are revealed on public news, they cover for her and Obama but we the people can still get the truth out there this way at least..
H-BOMB Clinton is a Marxist Communist….She has been a Communist going all the way back to her College Years in the late 1960’s…She Fully Believes in Socialism….And the D****RAT Party is a Communist Party…
But she didn’t answer the question… but I guess that’s typical of politicians. Yes, she is self absorbed and only concerned about her self empowerment. (I did hear her say “working together” what a crock!)
Scot, I have to look up that definition. I do not know the difference between the words, Democrat and Socialist. Catch u later!
A socialist actually tries to redistribute the wealth. A Democrat only distributes wealth when it strengthens his position.
but she did in an underhanded way lets look at her record of campaign promises “” I will take the money from the rich “” “” I will take the guns from””” these words are socialistic as they presume that only the government has the right to decide who can have anything like money or weapons for self defense , or that only the government can take care of our needs ;; so her words declare her to be a socialist !!!!
Hillary is the same as Obama, A Devil worshipper and American hater, except for CERTAIN WOMEN. She is just like Obama. She loves the ISIS/Muslim people, just like Obama. She is a liar, a thief, a killer, and a hater of True Americans. She wants Muslims and ISIS people to rules the world, but God will annihilate her, just like He is going to do to Obama and family. God bless America and remove Hillary and Obama and family immediately and punish them by swift suffering in Hell!
Wow! whoa Maybelle. That is pretty nasty, possibly hateful stuff. Please say your prayers tonite and ask forgiveness from Whomever your Deity is. God bless you.
Maybelle, I’m with you. I’ve felt the same way for years now. Our one true God will deal with them soon but, in the meantime, we the people, have to suffer because of their treason against our once great nation. Obama, Hitlery, most all of Congress, and most all Supreme Court Justices simply don’t realize what’s up ahead for them because they’ve never read the Holy Bible. And if they have read it, they don’t believe it, so it will be a horrible, eternal loss for them one day soon.
You got all that 100% correct. NO HILLARY back in our WH!!
I think we should stick to facts and not name call. Hillary and Bill have a sham marriage. He has his girlfriends,and she doesn’t care.She was a do nothing senator, and she voted for the Iraqi War, along with Kerry and Biden, and then voted a second time to keep funding it. She denied Ambassador Stevens more security and then told the Marines three times to “stand down” when they asked to go in a rescue the ambassador and others. She lied to the American people about the cause of the attack in Benghazi and said it was incited by a video. In the meantime,her e mails show that she told her daughter and Saudi officials it was, indeed, a terrorist attack. She used her private server for e mails,although it had been made illegal to do so. She and Bill have taken alot of money from Middle Easter countries for their foundation and have profited handsomely from the foundation.
She’s an economic socialist and a governmental communist. Anyone who doesn’t know that isn’t paying attention. She wants all to bow to her while we line her pockets with our hard-earned money. She doesn’t give a rip about “the people”.
So true, but if it’s any consolation, she’s never going to be president of these United States either. In fact, within 60 days (90 at the outside), she’ll be long gone from the political stage, for all time, and in all likelihood facing a long prison sentence.
Especially women!!! I don’t understand any woman with a moral compass , set of principles, and integrity of character supporting this liar! They would have to be as evil as she is!!
Angela I couldn’t have said it better.
If she did nothing when her husband humilitated her in public and not get a divorce, shows just what she will take to be President. She did nothing then and she will do nothing now, no matter how bad it gets. She’d sell her soul to the devil. Bill just wants to be back near the office so he can get some more under the desk. Our White House should stand for better than a Whore House.
Do u not think of the strength it takes to forgive such an affront? Hillary has a strong character, that does not make her bad.
Incidentally I have not totally decided who I will vote for as yet. Be sure however it will not be loud mouth Trump!
Yeah, maybe for the first time, but multiple times? No woman would let that occur over and over again unless she felt that she had to keep him around to get ahead politically. Common sense says that is the likely case.
Anne….get ready for Trump….. and stop slurping that Kool-Aid nonsense…she is an evil evil woman and it will all come out in the historical documentaries while she sits in prison….you obviously “bought into her lies”…how very sad for YOU!
You don’t want to vote for Trump because you do NOT want to make America Great Again.
You want the continuum of a failed economy, failed foreign policy, failed moral values, division of our country by race, Amnesty for millions of ILLEGAL Aliens & support tens of thousands of Muslim refugees so they can turn America into another European crisis. I get it, loser!
We can definitely narrow down your choices between Clinton and Sanders…;-)……Go Trump!
Don’t worry. She’s never going to be president and will in fact, never even make it to the election.
Amen! To that! I pray there won’t be voter fraud again by the demo-ratic party. That’s how they win their elections! Fraudulent! They get away with it!
AMEN to that Margo!!
I wonder if perhaps she set him up. Couldn’t see any man getting excited over the original frump.
I think she is being tutored by the head of the Democratic Party, you know, the one that rolls her curlers so tight it gives her brain damage.
Unbelievable!!!!! You cannot make this stuff up. This was better than Abbot & Costello’s “Who’s On First”
routine.
LOL… funny
Hillary may be a socialist when it comes to everyone else, but she and Bill want all the wealth they can get.
Democrats and socialists are not the same thing. You have a large amount of overlap between the two groups but they are different. I don’t think Hillary cares who owns something as long as the owner is donating money to the Clinton Foundation. I don’t think Hillary cares who is making the day-to-day decisions at a business as long as that business owner embraces the Democrat agenda.
A Democrat is a person associated with centrists to left thinking. They believe in a big gov’t taking care of people . In other words they believe in gov’t intrusion of our lives because they think we are too stupid to know what is best for us.
A Socialists believes in common ownership by the whole society. You work and bring home a paycheck but your neighbor does not work but is entitled to part of your paycheck because that is equality. This is what Obama has tried to change us to this type of society and Hillary says she will continue his agenda.
Yes, Hillary is a Socialists/Communists. More she loves the Muslim Brotherhood, many work for her. VERY DANGEROUS!
Yes she is
What you are saying is right on, however I think it’s gone further than that. Their Party has gone from attempting to help the unfortunate and poor, to helping themselves. There were a few Democrats that were serious about the party line. Perhaps the two Kennedys. (Certainly not Teddy). I believe the very path of the political monster, has changed what the constitution set out to accomplish. I see evil hidden in both parties, and it has become increasingly difficult to pinpoint trust. The one thing I believe we need, and certainly want. I over my 80 plus years have seen multiple instances where personal self serving,has crept into both parties. My biggest fear is the ability of a president to abuse “Executive Privilege”, and cram rules and regulation down our throat to the absurd.
We have rules, regulations, and laws that are impossible to enforce, and anyone with authority, can pick and choose what they elect to enforce, and it becomes impossible for our citizenry to comply.
OUR JUDICiAL SYSTEM is a JOKE. The Supreme Court determining what is constitutional, is not much better.
Hillary is the lap dog for BIG money and Bill. Her followers are faceless, worthless, lazy uneducated people who work the system for freebies. Their Dem vote is paid
For with your taxes.
she a cancer to humanity
A progressive Democrat is nothing more then a Socialist,we heard say that she was a democrat but a progressive democrat which is Socialist,she can’t explain it because it is what it is.
Does Hillarycratic describe her politics?
Socialists are, universally, politicians who address the people using marxist-leninist terminology, govern like Stalin when they manage to grab power, and live like the Rockefellers. They are, fundamentally, hypocrites by intended choice in conformity with the 1848 International Socialist Declaration aiming at setting up the Proletarian Dictatorship under the smart-alecky leadership and totalitarian rule of demagogical intellectuals who do not give a hoot about the positive evolution and/or well-being of the people. The extinct (by implosion) USSR and the present-day Cuba are perfectly sad examples of the system.
This election is like no other in American history! But then no one or any party tried tampering with the idea that the Constitution is the law of the land and trying to make EOs the law of the land. And the SC is supposed to determine what is or what isn’t Constitutional but now is into patronage rights. Using the CR Act as the basis for their decisions. They give homosexuals the “right” to be married! But no one else has such a right? Is this like separate but equal schools? The Jim Crow of marriage?
Do these people in PC DC have any idea of what they have been doing for the past 7 years? Everybody but themselves and the liberal media sure does!
How about the 235 or more elected officials on Capital Hill start working together and do what they were elected to do when they took their oath of office, what do you think of that Hillary?
This so called “women” is more dangerous than a two headed cobra. If her running mate is Obama pray hard for their failure.
She’s not a socialist,she’s a communist
IMO islam is the mother of all socialists. Islam uses a political burka to hide what they really are. Both communists and Nazis are forms of socialism without the burka of religion to hide behind.
Below is a comment made by someone else on another web site about socialism. Interesting stuff. A difference between Christianity and islam is this. There are no infidels in Christianity. Also Christians are taught to pray for others while in islam they are all taught to kill or subjugate infidels. Being a muslim does not necessarily make you a bad person. However being a muslim that believes what they are taught makes you a terrorist, a jihadist and willing to honor kill your daughter!

The worst thing about the practical application of Socialism is that it requires a totalitarian Government to ENFORCE it..
But,,the moment THAT happens,, Pure Socialism suffers because the moment a Government is formed to do just that,, that is the moment that PURE Socialism ceases to be and THAT leads to COMMUNISM,, FASCISM and every other form of totalitarian Government devised by evil and ambitious men……..
Pure Socialism is IMPOSSIBLE.. It goes against HUMAN NATURE.. it IS,, by it’s very definition,, the antithesis to FREE WILL and INNOVATIVE thought.. ALL are the same … NONE may rise above the unwashed masses..
THIS s why it FAILS everywhere it’s been tried.. The degree of it’s Impossibility and FAILURE can be MEASURED by the MILLIONS of dead bodies it has left in it’s wake….
Left Wingers in America want to confused you on this.. THEY cite programs we institute and CALL it Socialism but the MAIN difference between those CIVIC programs and Socialism is that,, IN the end,, it is the American PEOPLE who controls things,, NOT the Government..
Well.. That’s the way it USED to be anyway.. THESE days the influence of Socialism can be measured by the downfall of this once great nation and her once great people over the last few decades….
You are right Ron, Hillary is a communist.
I would say if you look in the dictionary under socialist or Democrat source list you’d probably find Hillary Clinton’s name in front of that Bernie Sanders no different than Hilary Clinton they want everything to go to the government and then tell us what they can do with our money that’s a sore throat that’s a Democrat why in the hell are we screwing around people are going to figure out if they don’t work they get just as much cuz it going I just took it away from us and gave it to somebody doesn’t work when it comes out what a concept so if Henry a burning in an office we will lose our gun rights for 2nd amendment and probably our First Amendment freedom of speech if the word corruption fit in this year Brock Brock Obama what do you think is going to be when Hillary Clinton gets in she’s like so much are nose to be 6 feet long I just got blood on your hands Benghazi but what difference does it make so my full opinion anybody that thinks Hillary Clinton would make a good present and that’s the best that Democrats can do we’re in big trouble Hillary Clinton is a waste of human flesh.

Hilary KNOWS she is a communist/socialist/sociopathic liar. She just proved it yet again and no one is arresting or anything else. Why doesn’t the FBI grab her and get it over with. Crap they have so much evidence! A nation of cowards. Holder is right! All talk and no action.
Apparently she is also ignorant of the definition of a lesbian, since she denies being one.
Grandma Clinton is good of double talking herself out of any situation if it is to her benefit ,
This so called “women” is more dangerous than a two headed cobra. If her running mate is Obama pray hard for their failure. This PC shit is ruining our nation, and the liberals, gays, and the Supreme Court are loving it.
Isn’t it amusing to watch two Marxist discussing the difference between a Democrat and a socialist. Democrats, progressives, liberals, socialists, and Marxists are synonyms. Hilliary is different from Obama in that she will do anything for power. If she could get power by saying she is a conservative then she would claim to be just that. Obama’s ideology is Marxism and he is a Muslim by faith. He has been consistent in these two ideologies.
His real purpose is to destroy this country with the assistance of George Soros and replacing it with a totalitarian one world government. He has a slight problem with his views on this. Marxists abhor religion. Only the most brain drained person could not see that Hilliary is a pathogical liar. When she speaks she lies. There is absolutely nothing she would not do to gain power. Her lies are well documented and have been going on her whole life. This should be a problem even for a Marxist, wouldn’t you think? Hopefully Trump or Cruz will go after her on her many lies and her other character issues. Her family and Bill are open game also.
