re: #377 Great White Snark

I’d not confuse any faith in the institutional checks on power vis a vis Trump with voting decisions. AFAIK if he wins, watch the VP pick, cause the VP will run as an incumbent for the big office in 4 short years. Trump will be gone by his own inept hand.

Quite so, and Trump stands on a foundation built on the largest cross party popular mistake of my life time. The “anything but Bush V Clinton” feeling that came out in the primary votes. The party membership voted in two candidates with the highest negatives in modern American history. The trifecta of fucking up 2016. I don’t think we voters escape blame entirely.

We? You might want to add a big old “in my opinion” in there. Not everyone shares your concerns in the same way.

I won’t speak fro anyone else…but I don’t think she has any more negatives than the Bushes had or Reagan. It could be argued she has less. She does have more media coverage of all her issues than just about any politician ever had.

The Clintons invented political talk radio and FOX news. And they have been hammered by it ever since. And it just seems people have let that cloud their thinking ever since. And yet here she is. 25 years of being buried by bull and she wants to run for president.

Couldn’t that be considered admirable? Yes, if you want to see it that way.

Or, you can just go with the very well-worn shit that sticks. Make 25 years of Clinton hater methods legit.
