Who says Hillary won't have a Primary opponent?


I found this political cartoon interesting because I feel the artist is expressing that Hilary Clinton is her own worst enemy. The timeliness of this particular cartoon is obviously dated a bit because it is more in reference to the Democratic Primary, but the message is the same. The artist could be bias in a sense that it could be a republican, Bernie Sanders supporter or just someone that doesn’t trust the amount of alleged scandals and perceived untrustworthiness that surrounds her. I think the intended audience for this could be many different audiences. It could be written toward the average American voter that may have only known of Hillary Clinton being the big name before the primaries. It could be written during the primaries when things always came to the forefront at what seemed like the most inopportune times.  This political cartoon is displaying what the knock on Hillary Clinton could be during the Primary and what undoubtedly contributed to her loss in the election, which was the fact that there is too much baggage with her. The fact that she had a government seat for so long and still had this much out there, as cases were opening and shutting and opening again all throughout her campaign. It led to one of the biggest political upsets in our lifetime.
