Why Hillary?

As I ponder the practical reason businesspeople who are Republicans might support Hillary, it occurs to me the answer is simple: she is so buyable that Trump looks like an ideologue by comparison.  I would not put it past her to have generated literal lists with fees for services of various sorts.  One type of permit costs one amount (as a donation to the Clinton foundation, obviously), and a harder one more.

Everybody on both sides of the aisle knows how to work with people like that.  They get what they want as long as she gets what she wants, and the only people who don’t win are the American people.  Nobody thinks about or gives a fuck about them.

One can almost hear Hillary ask: “why would I care about Mexicans taking American jobs?  I don’t get it.”  And she genuinely doesn’t, and wouldn’t.  She only cares about power and privilege.  What is right and wrong, what is good and bad for ordinary Americans LITERALLY does not cross her mind, ever.  She is simply not calibrated that way.

Trump, in contrast, is not exactly a working class hero, but he is capable of saying “wait a minute, these are good people, why are we fucking with their jobs?”  I think he actually likes people. He love the spotlight, but from what I read, he is quite cordial in private as well, whereas Hillary is a nagging bitch, by just about all accounts (and we will see a new one in a week or two from an ex-Secret Service agent).

Trump doesn’t like the cross-border invasion because it isn’t good for the American worker.  He has doubts about unlimited Islamic immigration, because, well, a third of them want to kill us.  That’s a good reason, and one based on the fact that he gives a shit about the American people.

Most politicians in Washington have literally forgotten how to think about anything except in terms of political expediency.  We saw that said plainly in a recent memoir from a Democrat (but it could almost equally be a Republican) who was plainly suffering from a bad conscience.
