I also predict that Trump will absolutely destroy Shillery in the debates, just as he did with all his so-called "big-foot" rivals in the primaries. Sanders was a lame, ineffectual beta during his debates with her (remember when he played the spineless white knight by claiming that no one cared about her "damn emails," as if that was supposed to reassure us all about his "sound judgement" as a leader?), but Trump is going to be another story entirely. He may present himself to some as a buffoon, but he's a master of marketing and branding and knows exactly what he's doing. They're going to have to carry that wicked witch off the stage on a stretcher by the time he's done with her. Hell, she may just melt and disappear in a cloud of smoke before our eyes, leaving nothing but her hideous pantsuit in a crumpled heap on the floor.<br /><br />The other thing to consider is that Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) and Jill Stein (Green Party) are likely to siphon off votes from the Democratic side, because pot-smoking hippies and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs will flock to Johnson, and no genuine progressive would actually vote for Shillery, who is essentially to the right of Nixon at this point, and therefore they are likely to vote for Stein in droves. This is nothing but a win-win for the Trumpster.<br /><br />Finally, nationalism is on the rise around the world, and "globalism" is on the retreat. With his "America First!" message, Trump has energized and mobilized millions of Americans who don't normally vote. (Meanwhile, the only voters that Hitlery has managed to energize are all the people who hate her.) Given that Trump is a proven showman if nothing else, the Republican Convention in Cleveland is likely to be the television event of the summer. And if clueless, shortsighted anti-Trump demonstrators pull the same kind of stupid shit they did in Chicago and San Jose, and you can count on it because he's gotten so deep into their heads that they've lost all reason, that's guaranteed to send many more independents Trump's way as well.<br /><br />Like I said, Trump's already got his ducks all lined up in a row. It's going to be great fun to watch, if nothing else.

...<b>"Trump is going to win in a landslide."</b><br /><br />I'm gonna hold you to that. I'll define "landslide" as "by more than 150 electoral votes." Anything less, and you owe me fifty bucks. PayPal is acceptable.<br /><br />My own feeling is that, if Trump wins, it'll be by a narrow margin, mainly because liberals are excellent at mobilizing their voter base, and they've been amassing a huge demographic advantage, what with illegal immigration, dead people on the voter rosters, and double- or triple-counted votes.<br /><br />True: conservatives were hugely mobilized during the primaries this year, and they may come out in force in November, but they're generally not as "activist" as the left is, being susceptible to fatalism and thus passivity. I also have no idea how large the "Never Trump" crowd is, but if it's large enough to constitute some sort of critical mass, the NeverTrumpistas could tilt things for Hillary.<br /><br />I agree that you'd have to be an idiot to vote for Hillary, but I don't have a clear read on how many people actually agree with that sentiment.

The law is one thing, but in the court of public opinion Shillery's reputation took a serious hammering with the decision not to indict, especially considering how fully Comey exposed her many lies in his damning press conference. Not only is the women corrupt as hell and totally dishonest, but she is dangerously incompetent as well (and even the FBI agrees). Only a complete banana-loving fool or cynical party hack would want her to be the next President of our nation.<br /><br />Trump may be a blowhard, but he's pissing off all the right establishment figures and that's nothin a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

After all, they definitely exchanged emails when she was Secretary of State (this can be confirmed on Wikileaks), so he definitely knew that she was using a private, unsecured server, and consequently putting the nation at risk on a daily basis over the course of years (her email address was hdr22@clintonmail.com, so it was pretty damn obvious). In other words, as her boss he was complicit in and ultimately responsible for her gross negligence or, as FBI Director James Comey put it, "extreme carelessness" (which is effectively the same thing and a punishable offense).<br /><br />I also wonder if Bill Clinton intentionally, rather than accidentally, met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Arizona last week, so that she could have an excuse to "accept the recommendation of the FBI" over whether or not to indict his wife (because of the "bad optics" or "scandal" of their private rendezvous, about which some unknown individual rather fortuitously tipped off to a local reporter). That way, all the heat falls on Comey, and Lynch avoids any flack for giving Hill the Shill a "get-out-of-jail-free card." The plan, in other words, was for Comey, a Republican, to be the fall guy for Lynch, whose reputation would be preserved and therefore "fit" to stay on as Attorney General under a Clinton Administration. If so, that's some pretty 3D-level-chess shit. He ain't called "Slick Willie" for nothin'!<br /><br />In any case, if you happen to be American, hope you like bananas, because the U.S. is now officially a banana republic!King Baeksuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106210206814275410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-59610759453881907022016-07-07T14:35:14.695+09:002016-07-07T14:35:14.695+09:00I'm not that hopeful, either.

What really galls me, however, is how brazen their disclosure was. It's like the culprits were rubbing America's nose in the administration's slime and telling us, "That's right -- the fix was in from the get-go. What are you going to do about it?"<br /><br />I am not very hopeful that the majority of the electorate is interested in doing <i>anything</i> about it.TheBigHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917973198063733316noreply@blogger.com
