Hillary pulls out her deck of cards today and plays the race card against Trump.  She is running out of people to blame so she blames the voters who are backing Trump.

Following is how she handles problems – which is not good.

Following are protesters in 1994 who were protesting her Hillarycare which is nothing more than today’s Obamacare.  It doesn’t look like she has moved the needle in 2016.

On a Saturday morning in the summer of 1994, first lady Hillary Clinton was unnerved as she stood at a lectern in downtown Seattle. Hundreds of demonstrators had infiltrated the crowd at an outdoor rally for a White House plan to redesign the nation’s health-care system, their messages ugly and personal.

The first lady faced signs saying “Heil Hillary,” and she could barely hear her own voice over the boos. Sensing trouble, her Secret Service detail had, for the first time that day, persuaded Clinton to wear, under her crimson jacket, a bulletproof vest.

The charged feelings about Clinton and health-care reform that had spread across the country were part of a spectacular downfall from a hopeful beginning 19 months earlier, when she and her husband, President Bill Clinton, moved into the White House determined to bring health insurance to every American. She seized an unprecedented role for a first lady, taking charge of a main policy initiative. Two months after the Seattle protests, the Clintons’ quest to reform health care was dead, having failed even to get a floor vote in either chamber of Congress.

From the ashes of this defeat emerged a chastened Hillary Clinton whose caution has, over the years and as she seeks to become the nation’s first female president, become a hallmark of her identity.

The 21 months from the dawn to the demise of the Clinton health plan showed the first lady as the Washington neophyte that she was, overvaluing her own ideas, misreading power relationships, crusading for a complex plan that would have disrupted many Americans’ health care. She has not attempted anything as daring again.

Years later, she crystallized her more cautious strategy. “I now,” she said during her 1999 U.S. Senate race, “come from the school of small steps.”

Brian Fallon, press secretary for her presidential campaign, said, “While Clinton herself would be the first person to acknowledge that there were missteps along the way, she absorbed key lessons from that experience and has applied them to all the fights she has waged since.”

This article is based on interviews with two dozen insiders within the Clinton administration, on Capitol Hill and at leading interest groups, who interacted with the White House during that time. Some who now support Hillary Clinton are less critical of her today than in the past, and all agree that she alone cannot be held responsible for the failure; competing presidential priorities and a hardening partisan culture on Capitol Hill factored in, too.

To her credit, Clinton worked feverishly, demonstrated policy nimbleness and delivered impressive public performances. Yet, according to many who worked with her, she did not understand or respect the norms of Congress, was more prone to criticize than to negotiate, and allowed the process in the White House to become unwieldy. She first drew criticism for a lack of openness that has dogged her in public life ever since.

Privately, even some admirers of Clinton today view her work on health-care reform as a case study in how not to function in political Washington.

It looks like she still has not learned how to function without being dishonest.
