A day does not go by that Donald Trump is not subjected to multiple assaults, from every conceivable angle. He touches some nerve within the Establishment. It is not feigned. They are not pretending, and this is not a big inside joke. He may have talked to Hillary before he began his campaign, but this forest fire has burned far beyond anything anyone but Trump can control.
The latest attack is the assertion that he has “collapsed” in the polls versus both Hillary and Bernie. But history is clear that where charismatic candidates–Truman and Reagan being the obvious examples–that means nothing until the votes are cast (if they are cast and counted honestly, which we can’t count on).
Trump has already been through the ringer. There are no zingers–qualitative ones, at any rate–which can still be thrown at him. Lots of women. Tackiness. Business setbacks. Etc.
Hillary has been attacked by no one. The press is pretending that she deserves the Oval Office and not a jail cell, and the American public, which knows nothing, assumes this is accurate.
But what happens when “At this point what difference does it make” goes on the news cycle? What happens when the actual dirt starts flying, the secret email account that not one person in 5 knows about, the backroom deals she worked out when she was the Secretary of State. Etc.
Hillary is a conniving dishonest bitch, who will not do well in the spotlight. That is why she has avoided it as much as possible. But a spotlight she will get, if Trump gets the nod, as he deserves to.
And if she does get arrested, after we finish thanking God that the rule of law still appears to operate in this country in at least some times and places, then look at Bernie. This idiot didn’t have a real job until he got elected to Congress, and that hardly counts either. He has accomplished nothing. He can’t pay for anything he is proposing, not once actual numbers are used which make realistic projections as to the likely actual outcomes of his various tax policies.
I liked and continue to like the fact that he alone stood up to the Federal Reserve and got at least one substantive provision inserted into the Wall Street Protection bill, that of auditing the Fed in high level fashion. This is how we know they created ex nihilo $12 TRILLION in 2008-2009 to bail out the world.
But shit, his bad hair gives even Trump competition.
