Whoever wins in November, their administration needs to be neutered. If this really was a case of choosing the lesser evil, the next priority must be to defeat whichever evil wins. We certainly shouldn’t wait for good to emerge from the victory of a lesser evil – the clue is in the name.
Of course not everyone does see a Clinton victory as the triumph of a lesser evil. Some see potential for social progress through the election of a corporate war hawk, in the pay of Wall Street. Their belief isn’t shaken by a lifetime of political cynicism and opportunism, self-enriching political corruption, campaign fraud that cheated a true progressive of the candidacy. They see no injustice or danger in the Presidency being served-up as a reward for foul play, to a politician whom everything she "touches she kind of screws up with hubris." Indeed, many can see no further than her being a woman.
Case closed in fact – she’s a woman, so this must be progress. Oh, and Trump is orange, and a sexist, and awful. Well, assuming Trump loses, there isn’t long left to play that particular card. In a few weeks, hopefully, Trump will be consigned to political history. Logically then, no sooner than Clinton’s candidacy is assured it too will be terminated. The media’s self-imposed embargoes and immunities will be lifted. With Trump safely out of the picture, every commentator who worked to protect us from the ‘greater evil’ will be at liberty to round upon the DNC, grab it by the collar and scream, “WTF was that all about?!?! ” A Hoover-sized dam of political sewage will finally breach, flushing Debbie Wasserman Schultz, John Podesta, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, Donna Brazile and all, down into the valley of infamy; a whirling vortex of suits, stilettoes and painted nails, each drowning the other in a desperate scramble to save their own skins.
Clinton herself should be impeached before she even takes the oath. Hmmmm, let’s see……
