Clinton: "Just like Rocky"


Recalling a famous scene on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the 1976 Oscar-winning film "Rocky," Clinton said that ending her presidential campaign now would be as if "Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, 'Well, I guess that's about far enough.'"

"Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people."

Editor's note: they also both get beat by a black man at the end.

My post on this is coming soon - look for it in a few minutes - I have a different take on it.

She's right. After the last sequel, I was absolutely ready for Rocky to go away too.

Someone should remind her that after charging up those steps, Rocky ultimately lost the fight. Or perhaps she is lieing about actually seeing the movie.
